+For those who don't care about astrology, try to follow along; the principle is
+pretty practical.
+
+> **TL;DR** – Being bossed around compromises inovation, creativity and it
+> destroys one's true sense of purpose. Don't let that destroy you.
+
+The Piscean Era has begun around 0-400 A.D and, according to the math, will
+last until very soon. The Pisces sign has several connotations: _sacrifice_,
+_martyrization_, _faith_, _dogma_ and _spiritual dictatorship_. This is still a
+challenge for many creative and passionate developers who wish to spread wings
+and bring a better world through technology. Only the bravest survive the food
+chain and those won't don't become slaves.
+
+The Aquarian Era follows the Piscean. It stands for _freedom_, _love_ and
+_consciousness_. These are the values I fight for. My goal is to build great
+stuff on the web, the way I feel it should be done. A lot of what's built today
+looks great, but there are still major issues to tackle when it comes to
+fulfilling needs. Those needs are overrated and they don't help the smallest,
+the poorest and the less bright; they only serve the allegedly powerful and
+certainly wealthy.
+
+Open source is an awesome Aquarian movement. It's not just the code, it's a
+whole mindset. It lets people make their move and be rewarded for it. That
+reward is not just money, it's also the joy of the contribution and hope for
+evolution.
+
+This is not about companies anymore, each team member is too important to be
+masked with a company logo. People move a lot these days, there's actually no
+point in fixating all the credit in one company in a point in time. Letting
+developers choose what they want to do is crucial to creativity. They will do
+what it takes if they feel it's the right thing to do.
