I'm able to do this, having a separate office area works well. Although interruptions aren't really a problem since my family is away during the day. Neither of my current remote jobs are particularly demanding; start late, two or

I stopped working several years ago. I still go to the office and collect a check. In reality I do about 4 hours of real work a week. Have been for years. Software development is the ultimate bullsh-t job.

Target used to hire some remote developers. Last time I checked their careers page, looked like they no longer do. Or if they do it's not advertised as an option.

Can you deliver pizza's at night? Why can't you do another dev job? Sure there's risk, but the calculus is: $100k a year or $200k a year? Retire in 30 years or 10? I've had lot's of jobs that didn't even make m

I've advocated this for a long time, not something people are receptive to though. I've been in GPs position, I've done little or nothing for YEARS at various development jobs, I do some high visiblity things, but otherwise c

GWT was dead a long time ago, maybe two years after it came out, it's a dead tech. So is Scala, after the scala hype train left a few years ago, almost no one is using it (see tiobe). Two dead techs in one peice, so bizarre.
