You keep saying 'I can code'. So code. Don't wait for someone else to give you permission to do it at a desk they provide. Build something. Get your name out there, and then you don't have to hide behind an anonymous throwaway account. The

One of his earlier tweets that led to this article suggests it's not just backed up at his home: “I should blog about Instapaper's backup setup sometime. It's pretty extensive. A lot of places would need to burn down to lose your data.” May
