Just pondering all of the fun stuff presented with on tildemachines, and I
just got to thinking:  I would love to be able to make a living with tilde
servers...

Probably a pipe dream.  Maybe I wish I could be in a workplace, where
everyone interacts with shell based tools, like on pubnix boxes, but still
creating great products or services people want.  I don't even know how
such a firm would function, aside from we bs, we make fun stuff, and
people pay for the fun stuff created...

But, I suppose it's like any other artist making things for people to
enjoy.  There's no utility in a painting, other than it is pleaing to the
eye.

But, in reality, given today's expectations, people want glitzy and fancy,
for free, regardless of how the personal cost is to people involved, even
themselves.  How many people have basically handed their lives over to
Google or Facebook for free email, or a an ad delivery service disguised
as a social network site?

I suppose I'm just rambling at this point.  Like I said, a pipe dream.
