I live in New Hampshire and walk 50 steps around the side of the house before sunrise to a small shed that I turned into a wifi + power-equipped cabin with a big window overlooking a lake. Best commute ever. I'm no longer jealous watching birds walk around in the grass while I'm stuck in traffic doing a job that only a robot should be doing (driving). Now I enjoy the company of wildlife (there's a family of gofers nesting under the shed), watch loons and red-tailed hawks and woodpeckers and take frequent walks outside to think.

- raamdev 10y agoI'm self-employed. I've been running a small business for the past five years (with a partner) and we have a small globally-distributed team (5 people total). We build, support, and sell commercial (and free) open-source WordPress plugins. While it's awesome making a living working on open-source software, the business side of things is no longer fun or challenging for me, so I'm in the process of transitioning to something else, namely more of what I love: writing and publishing.
