Six or five years ago i found this super cool movie: The Code Linux. I was a linux fan back then(and a “practitioner” too, once i compiled all my gentoo OS and software to my machine.)

In it Alan Cox says something like “free as in free speech not as in free beer”. There was the time when i realized the real meaning of free software(very good quote by the way.) Now my personal quote is “free as in freelance”.

Why is this? Because I’m not commited to any full-time job anymore. For the first time in last 4 years I don’t have to go to a job. I’m a little shocked and scared, I must admit. Not because my future is a little uncertain right now but because I can decide, again, my future. I can apply for any project that i want with real chances to obtain it, I can prepare for a project, I can grow myself o portfolio, I can choose what to learn, I can speak for myself and I can be my own boss.

So much power I have.
