Satir workshops

I enjoyed Dave Pollard's article Nobody Really Cares About the Creative Class

• selling crap
• making crap
• fixing crap
• blocking customers who complain about crap from getting their money back or getting through to management
• finding people and outsourcers who will do the above crap jobs cheaper
• lobbying politicians to prevent people who are creative from competing with them, and to prevent people from suing them for their crap"

I quite agree, which is why I went independent, plus that I followed a worthy vision. On this journey alone, I:

• made my own crap, scripting some back-ends for websites
• fixed my own crap
  
• made it look attractive, quite an art in and of itself
  
• found some customers that were constipated (or perhaps anal retentive)
  
• sold my own crap (I prefer not to sell crap before I have produced it)
• could not find others that would do it cheaper than what I was doing it for
• learned mental aikido to make sure aggressive competitors would end up sitting in their own crap
