This post is a collection of pieces and opinions on how our workstyle has changed through the last 10-15 years.

The list will grow as I find more articles.

People say we need roots. I see we’re born with legs, not roots, and legs are for walking.
So, let’s move around, visit new places and learn new things. Let’s use our legs.
