    Ongoing discussion I am having with my lib brained ex boss. Since I left the company he realised how much I did for it, and so I get to charge him exorbitant amounts of money to do simple shit. I also got to reveal to him that I’m a communist and that the only reason I never mentioned was because of the employer/wage-slave dynamic when I was working for him. Anyway, his arguments are weak and I enjoy “slamming” him and then taking his money.

      Wow, the way you speak to each other is very interesting. I’m not judging by the way, you’re much braver than I and I admire your bluntness. Still getting paid but not having to take orders, that’s pretty cool.

        I worked there for nearly ten years and went from being a sysadmin to a full on developer. It’s one of the few areas where I can confidently say I made a huge difference. What I did for that company allowed them to dominate their competitors. The directors behaviour during COVID is what radicalised me and I took a big gamble by leaving. But they’ve never been able to replace me and that has given me a lot of leverage.
