consul...PPS. additional insight as to motivations.<br /><br />consulting - the need for experience<br />and SOLVING UNIQUE PROBLEMS. Tendency to get bored easily in<br />routine, administrative positions.<br /><br />employee at large company - very<br />helpful if you are SINGLE like me.<br />Sure, I am on the 'career track.'<br />Sure, I have 'certifications.'<br />But, I have seen many BETTER THAN ME FAIL AND GET FIRED FROM THE COMPANY.<br /><br />Work at home, means you control<br />the ESSENCE OF YOUR LIFE - your time.<br /><br />PPS. As a boss or manager, I MEASURE MYSELF as<br />1.)top coder competitor - sure I suck. even suck really badly. so, what?<br />2.)open source bsd contributor.<br />I not only eat my own 'dogfood'<br />but I have sweated many times compiling from scratch from bare metal.<br />3.)long term goals. Never a 'quickie' last minute, give me<br />low quality report on Friday at<br />1/2 hour before closing time.<br />Obviously, I tell my subordinates,<br />think BEYOND HASKELL, to Math, to <br />Science and even to Logic.<br /><br />4.)most of the 'team spirit', including even FOR THE OLD, MATURE <br />FOLKS, EST == Erhard Seminar Training tends to be somewhat BS or<br />bull****. ends with 't'.<br /> case: not an endorsement, just<br />an example. New York City Swim<br />Around the Island. Easy to volunteer. Participants must be<br />EXTREMELY highly motivated to swim<br />in the dirty and dangerous waters<br />around new york city, manhattan,<br />new york, USA.<br /> even some sessions at defcon,<br />las vegas. been there; done that.<br /> aaabbbdddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555427564543226046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37404288.post-52653901144059545082012-10-20T05:02:42.849+02:002012-10-20T05:02:42.849+02:00The scientific method itself demands you work from...The scientific method itself demands you work from home, preferably in double blinded environment!<br /> Of course, some organizations<br />are not based on science, but on<br />certain economic monopoly powers.<br />case: simply pay late your electric bill three times. After<br />three times, your electricty may be<br />cut off. It will prove difficult to provide a 'substitute.'<br /><br />1.)the sm aka [scientific method]<br />values hypothesis and counter-<br />hypothesis and results.<br /><br />2.)social media popularity, 'reputation', ten thousand likes<br />and a friend of a friend of a friend<br />of yet another friend count FOR LITTLE.<br /><br />3.)case: google Map-Reduce and the<br />'third generation algorithms' are<br />scaleable without 'reputation.'<br /> how many venture capitalists<br />turn down the co-founders of google<br />because they are just PhD dropouts/<br />washouts?<br /><br />4.)many negatives of working at<br />headquarters aka 'fancy building<br />in Silly Valley ... err silicon valley aka [HQ] is groupthink.<br /><br />5.)test me for the truth! case:<br />NASA and the various shuttle explosions. Heat shield made of<br />'soft foam' becomes a hard rock<br />at such high velocities. Physics<br />law of ft=mv.<br /><br />insert quote: Tao Te Ching about<br />water.<br /><br />6.)this appears to be to me mostly<br />a CEO vanity 'control propensity'<br />personality order or DISORDER.<br /><br />7.)Dear Mr. CEO: you are clueless!<br />My personal goal is to DREAM IN HASKELL. It is self directed.<br /> When, I lift weights in<br />the gym, in between I think of MONADIC control sequences. Will I get muscle cramps this time??<br /> My personal goal is to DREAM in <br />Haskell while I sleep. So, in theory I am working at home... :)<br />I rarely would share this with a boss. A significant proportion of<br />bosses are just clueless as their<br />worker's REAL MOTIVATIONS.<br /><br />PS. No, as a gentleman, I don't want a young, beautiful woman<br />programming pair programming over my shoulder... Might be more distracting to me than to her.<br /><br />PPS. Never touched Javascript. MUCH MORE IMPORTANT and financially lucrative than even Haskell.<br />Language Seems a bit strange, but think in Haskell then transform/map to Javascript??aaabbbdddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555427564543226046noreply@blogger.com
