One of the few people I know does this is Andre Staltz. He is active in Scuttlebut community, and is behind i.e. cycle-js fronted library/framework. I remember he uses a small portable keyboard to hack away on a library on a plane. I t

Second that. Half a year ago I was still at RedHat, and we were joking around with colleagues, that either the big bet on OpenShift/kubernetes starts paying off, or somebody buys us. We joked that Microsoft under Satya Nadella would ac

Well, I would compare the market-rate first. I.e. if you are one of those legendary cobol-cowboys, used to several thousands dollars a man-day, it is likely that the market-rate for i.e. backend dev in most other technology stacks will be l

In my opinion, basic-income, though a general concept, can't really be generalized. Any actual implementation will be an alternative to any other actual implementation. Social policy seems to be hard to get right. I.e. one thing I hear
