    This is why I’m moving away from programming for a boss and am looking for jobs where I don’t get the stress of countless meetings and project manager bullshit. I just want a nice job where I don’t feel too much stress and make enough money to live decently. Then I can continue working on opensource projects as my hobby.

      I really dislike all the “ceremonies” that seem to be involved in software development now. It’s just so much useless ritual.

        Would be cool. I’ve tried, and was even able to get an interview with one, but was rejected :( This job market sucks; everyone’s getting many more applications than they’re able to deal with, and cooperatives are more hesitant to accept new members than regular businesses. I guess I’d have to create a new cooperative if I wanted to work in one, but I’m bad at/hate securing and negotiating contracts.

          That's the neat part, you’ll get better with practice.
          And because you’re not a psycopath, you’ll be able to amend them to suit both the syndicates’ interests and that of the new recruit as you go. Contracts should be living documents, not blood and tear contracts.
