Down voted for telling the truth. That's the moment when you know you called it right.

Do me a favor, tell Obama to shutdown the NSA's spying on America?

You either own the company or you're nothing.

Good idea. I would like to see this in my state.

Managers want to see people working. It makes them feel better.

Not a game shop. It was a dotcom.

I worked at a shop where one developer committed suicide, 2 other developers had mental breakdowns, and another tech manager developed serious medical issues. Some other suffered silently from alcohol and drug addiction. I can't tell you home many marriages went under.

To say we have to consider and appreciate the lives and well being of technical professionals is an understatement.
