I have… questions
ALT A screenshot of two tweets. The first is https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/1465409177342283777 by mjg59, reading: "Someone is targeting network-attached receipt printers on the public internet and just printing copies of the r/antiwork manifesto and this is glorious" The second is responding to the first, and is by @twitternotify. It reads: "We love your Tweet and may want to use it for Twitter promotional materials, events and sales decks! Let us know if you have any objections!"

Me: Oh. Huh. Well, at least your product is cheaper here since the average household income is lower, right?
Companies: No.

Some 20 years ago, I learned from “Peopleware” that the role of the manager was to empower and go to bat for their employees. Every manager should read the replies to this thread:

If you’re wanting to keep working from home indefinitely, what’s your main reason (not that you need one, just curious)?

I don't think there's anything wrong with hiring freelance developers for your MVP. If done right, you can save a ton of money and time.
