More Idleness would be betterhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24168732Idleness. A word that has fallen into disrepute. Idleness, as the proverb warns, is the root of all vice; and more than a few even see in it the worst of all vices: the refusal to perform in a performance-based society.The calls for deceleration, which are becoming louder and louder, have rehabilitated idleness to a certain extent in recent years. In the wellness sector at least it has found a firm place - and in countless magazine articles when it has to do finding oneself or burnout syndrome.Idleness requires free time. This is more than leisure time: it is a time free of constraints, empty time that can be filled with what the moment offers.Caught in the daily hustle and bustle, it is difficult to develop new perspectives. One is so busy mopping up the water that one does not even think of turning off the tap.In order to get a grip on things at any time, your hands should be free. Being idle means to have time to do the right thing at the right moment.(Source: Jupp Hartmann: DepartAug 15, 2020 1:34 PM

Ask HN: How can I gain more control over how much I work?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23773558I have 12 years experience writing software. The first half of that was at big data startup working with distributed systems using C++ and python. The second half has been more conventional full-stack development. That would be node / react / angular / backbone, etc. I was recently a part of a team upgrading a legacy system to a modern web application.I do enjoy my job and software in general, but there are a lot of other things I'd like to do in life and having a full-time job makes that difficult. Here are some options I've considered and my thoughts about them.1) Contract work: I live in NYC. From what I gather online, most contract opportunities are actually just a way for companies to put you on probation for a year before hiring you. I would happily work for 6 months to a year to then be able to take 1-3 months off. I can't help but wonder if there aren't speciality developers work shorter contracts that aren't just glorified probation. Am I missing something here?2) Part-time woJul 8, 2020 7:50 PM
