I quite like software as a job but I think I'm going to end up working for myself, one way or another. I can work on a team but I prefer working alone; I also like having control over the direction of a project and being able to iterate as fast as I need to. This has led me to software consulting/contracting or just creating a "software studio." I'd love if someone who has done something similar to share their thoughts on this. Thanks!

I've just recently started receiving an iCloud Mail error and I'm not sure why as all other services work and the status page seems to disagree with me. Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?

Hey all,

I am in my last year of software engineering at university. I am struggling with the idea of working for a large company, especially ones that produce things that are harmful to us all (social media being a leading issue). I don't care about making any money for myself as I live a simple life, and I want to build something useful or at the very least neutral in its effect on us.

That brings me to public benefit corporations, nonprofits, etc. However, in a lot of situations the only PBCs I see are crypto... "companies" or spinoffs from massive companies. What I'm talking about when I say "public benefit" is a group of people working to build an open source, highly reproducible weather station that could be easily and cheaply distributed to people in need.

Any ideas?
