For some people, a 40-hour workweek is something to aspire to; for others, it’s still too much time taken up by a job. If you fall into that second category, if you want more time for hobbies, family and friends, or working on your own software projects, you too might dream of working less than full time.
But how do you get there? Almost no one advertises part-time programming jobs–believe me, I’ve me[sic] looked.
The answer: negotiation. I’ve negotiated a shorter workweek a few times myself, and I’ve met other programmers who have done so as well, some with just a few years of experience. And of all the programmers I’ve met who’ve negotiated part-time work, Mike’s record is the most impressive.
Mike has spent pretty much all his career working part-time: he’s been working part-time for more than 15 years. To help you get to a shorter, saner workweek, I sat down to interview Mike about how he does it.

Nowhere does the OP imply that conclusion.
Also, poor people have a very bad people of creating more poor people.

I meant "a very bad habit", not "a very bad people".
This web site very badly needs an "edit" feature.

They have that, they call it "preview." Although it causes big problems at certain times. Like when I tried to tweet about the DOD CN>, Counter Narcotics & Global Threats. But it came out as something very different. Sad!!

It happened again right there. And I didn't do the preview. I put the initials of Counter Narcotics & Global Threats. I didn't do the preview. Someone said the preview changes things, so I didn't do it. But still the initials got changed to something else. It's bad cyber. And once again a hater or loser found one of my tweets. Down modded it because it was tweeted by me. And got his or her liddle' wings. Enjoy!! 🧚

No sweat. I just edited your name to AC, to save you some future embarrassment.

screw that noise. we need to create a useless, bloated corpse of a government to use guns to steal from people so we can pretend we are helping the poor but really the corpse just gets fatter and bluer.
