In the case of a specialist with unique skills I would find this acceptable, but also something to be kept under close wraps. I am not against business doing what they have to do. Everything suggests this is not something that was found out

I am glad it works for you but I am not comfortable or confident doing this, unless i have a really firm grasp on the technology and that is the exception rather than the norm, these days. Estimations tend to be driven by customer expectati

I too admired this program when it first was announced. giving thieves or dealers a chance at a tech job, i'm all for it. Or most other criminals. Nor would I want to discourage even a murderer from creating something meaningful with c
