It's already been tested in court - in several jurisdictions. It's fine for your (or any) corporation to house you, but you can't get a material impact from it. Either you have to pay market rent, or claim the taxable benef

While the solution may be valuable, there's more value in reading the work to get there. Rarely is the value a decision, inasmuch as the path to the decision. By first declaring a solution to a problem, you're priming the other i

There was a time when critical thinking, and fact-based arguments while holding differences of opinions were valued. We're now in a period of time where in several countries the tone of communication, contents of thought, and behaviour

It's not lost on me just how intellectually interesting dangerously unmaintainable becomes. I love working on new things, they're fun - but things that are legitimately mind breaking are a fascinating challenge.
