    It may not be politic to be the first commentor on one’s own post, but I need to elaborate that the real reason for this post is just to say Joyent children are adorable (and productive). Our products maybe have problems, but our children are cute, adorable, eat their vegetables, and meet their deadlines. In fact, hey, the original blog post isn’t really the point. It’s about the children. Whether its Watridge, Rockwood, Hoffman, Barron, Schwartz, or Allen, our children are growing bigger every day and they will soon be old enough to blog and create a Rails app. Or answer support questions. Or set up for a seminar. Are you following? We’re talking agile AND fun. Have you thought of that?

    Sprouting new employees… interesting tactic, though questionable.

    David,

    This is precisely the attitude that has me looking at Joyent, Bingo, etc. in the first place. I moved to a home office to spend more time with my family, and I expect to constantly deploy new technology to lighten my load and free me up to be there for them, as well as to make it easier to travel with them and still keep the ball rolling. (After all, I still have to pay the bills, plus doing so let’s my wife concentrate on her maximum value add, which she and I believe is at home, too.)

    Keep thinking along these lines and you may find that it actually increases your productivity. It has mine.

    Curt
