[AccessD] Burn-out

Very profound Shamil...and your experience with the busted development teams 
is quite a tell with regards to the recent problems in the industry.
The Freedom aspect is interesting: in my current case, I've two 
work-at-home-office contracts....which does provide for some freedom....er at 
least "flexibility" i.e. working at 3 am to spend time AM to work-out at the 
gym, etc.
When I was on remote contract, it really stunk: no flexibility, long commute, 
lots of stress, lowered my health...I put on 10 lbs ! Of course, I had little 
time to work-out....which I think is essential for this stressful business.

Lately, I'm been getting some ridiculous offers to work at remote locations 
several hundred miles away....with no compensation for travel or stay over 
night expenses. After expenses, I'd be making like $30/hr ! I guess there's a 
lot of desperate programmers out there.
The other development lately has been major corps forcing everyone into W2 
contracts instead of more favorable 1099 or corp-to-corp arrangements.
All of these are valid reasons to leave the industry.
