I can't stop thinking that if I bought it, even taking a loan of $57k, I could both pay back the loan and live comfortably off the profits here in Eastern Europe. With some effort it might be possible to increase the revenue - if I rem

I doubt there are many things in the area of software development that a competent professional can legitimately be incapable of putting in words. It is obvious that face-to-face communication can be richer. But it does not follow that inte

We need our jobs. The rich may play with their robots however much they want, but I will not have my job take away from me. Basic income or what not, it is unemployment. You may want to spend your life sleeping 15 hours a day, binge watchin

Officially, I do four-day week / 0.8 of the pay. Actually, if I finish the tasks I set for the day in one hour, I end the day. If I do not finish them in four hours, I also end the day. It is awesome.

Web development involves a little creative effort and a great deal of repetitive, tedious work. While sedentary, it requires heavy physical exertion to sit still the whole day. It is usually a low-prestige, low-power role within an organiza
