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. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
