** Tue Feb 14 01:15 UTC; working again
A while ago I posted on Mastodon about how I wanted to take
a new approach to work, if I were to start working again.
Well, I started working again, and the opportunity is there
for a new way.
The notion is to start a co-op and take contracts which pay
enough to pay the folks involved a living wage. We're tech
workers, so theoretically we should be able to support two
humans for each paid contracter. That would allow us to work
on things we want to work on approximately half the time.
Or, work better and more impressively, so we can out-perform
people who take all that filthy funge for themselves.
My new boss, who is also my friend, is enthusiastic about
the idea, and willing to re-negotiate the contract in a few
months. So I'm hopeful.
Next things to do: start working on a Rust implementation of
the T.R.I.E rigging spec (see
https://trie.site) with
Anatoly, and figure out what the overheads associated with
starting a co-op will be.
