Do you love to write software, but sometimes cannot get rid of the feeling that you are going nuts? Bonkers? Stark raving mad?
You are not alone! In fact, there is a very good chance that there is a person trying to out-do you in a lot of ways - some of which you would not (or, indeed, could not) even have thought of.
That person is David Deutsch and in this 22 hour talk (or 22 minutes - depending how fast you feel compelled to leave the room) he will run you through the twists and turns of being a self-employed Free Software developer. Having dealt with the full spectrum of insanities (only stopping short of installing a laser on the moon), he will have valuable information on managing your largely boundary-free work life and the even less bounded demands that your users might have on your time.
Themes include "How to start, even when lacking formal education, business interest or intent", "How to build and maintain a habit of shipping software, also: getting up in the morning", "Building an easy-access information storage to support your brain when it's gone fishing" and "11 Incredible Mind Tricks: Lifehacking to free yourself from any productivity you used to have".
