My perspective is just as valid, and I also wrote, >I'm not for/or against a particular style ... so I'm not sure why some of you took offense in my comment, but I can definitely imagine why :) >Ex-colleagues reach out to me and ask me to work with them Never happened to me, that's the point I'm making. 1. I wish work just landed at my feet. 2. As that never happened and most likely was never going to happen, I had to learn another set of skills to overcome that. 3. That made me a much more resilient individual. (4. This is not meant as criticism to @arthurfirst's style. I wish clients just called me and I didn't have to save all that money/time I spend taking care of that)
