News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

If I were young and single, even today and even as an introvert I'd probably seek out places to work on site. Work, not social stuff. I'm old and settled these days so when I can get remote gigs, it's great.
In the early 2000's I thought it would be more common now. It looks like by the time it gets to where recruiters understand what I'm asking for, it will be time to retire.
Social situations introduce randomness, unpredictability. This is discomforting and sometimes disconcerting to me.
That's the situation I'm in now on my current contract. The down side is that, unlike the others who work remotely from other states; it's easy for them to ask me to work a problem that requires me to come on site. So that's sort of a down side. The people are nice though.
