I like it. There was a thread on here recently about an ex-googler going freelance on toptal.com and earning $2,000 USD per hour. That still looks more individually focussed though.

I know what you mean about the team thing though. After 15 years in IT in London, Sydney, Copenhagen and San Francisco, there are definitely some teams I'd like to work together with again to build something great.

Busy with koalasafe.com just now, so not in for helping launch it.
