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.
