The point I got from the mini-rant was that we have been going down this path of ever-increasing complexity (and ever-increasing client burdon) with this inherent belief that it would result in something better. Better could be "user e

It's going to take a lot more time and a lot worse crap on the internet to have a greater negative impact than FoxNews has had over its last 10 years. So for that reason, TV is still far worse for humanity. On the positive side, inter

Clearly life is better for you and your spouse with you working remotely. So stick to that plan, even if you have to pass up some lucrative onsite offers in the future. Quality of life beats pay!

This is true in life as well. There are many ideas, things which we could probably do. But just because something (interesting or profitable) is possible, that doesn't mean we should do it or even spend much time pondering it. For tho

There are so many variables involved that no two people have the same office or remote experience. One big factor, I believe, is age. The younger you are, the more your colleagues may also be social partners. You're fresh out of unive
