Contractor ethics

[moorfield]

A pub? We were lucky if we had a field to sit in and drink our meths.

Luxury! On my first day I would work twenty-nine hours, and pay t'pimp for permission start t'contract, and when I got home, t'pimp would kill us, and dance about on us grave singing "Hallelujah."

Yeah, but you try telling that to new Contractors nowadays and they don't believe you.

Firstly. Contractor Ethics is surely an oxymoron!

Secondly. Aha! The last time we had one of these was Niall of Nedprod fame.

Forgotten about him. Now 31 and still a hopeless closet case.

Here's hoping our new 'newbie' doesnt suffer the same fate!

Nedprod!

I'd forgotton too what a total twunt that bloke was/is.

Graduated from St. Andrews
Much as a degree is irrelevant, graduation did definitively mark the end of the St. Andrews movement: what we all began some four years beforehand passed a point of inflexion, and for the next few years we will all reap the consequences of what we sowed plus of course begin new movements which sweep us away from the St. Andrews experience. In three years or so, few if none of us will still be in contact, and even if we were we will no longer have much resonance with one another's lives and therefore the connection will have passed. Those of us who are lucky will find new connections to propel them on into the future, however most of us will be consigned to quite a few years of loneliness and self-suffocation, surrounded by people we know but with whom we do not resonate.

I just visited Nedprod. I tried to read some of his stuff. Actually found myself more interested in his markup in "view source". And that's saying something, he uses table layouts.

The economics of software production mean that the cheapest workers in the world are most likely to do the job as the internet makes remote production very easy. Thus, the economics of software production are a concentrated form of globalisation.

the number of gigs I have had rewriting stuff that had been offshored.

He's really 31 already? I thought he was much younger than that. How time files.
