This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
“Would you want to work for a big firm , else prefer to stay in a forest learn stuff by your own be independent of Money and much happier and satisfied with the surroundings around you?”
Agreed. It is a confusing question. Usually comparative questions are based on one difference. Such as big company or small company? Financial services company or telecommunications company? etc.
The choice between working for a big company or living in a forest is a very weird question. And it is also orthogonal -- meaning you can actually do both.
I just saw God Must be Crazy where Xi and his tribe of San/Bushmen relatives are living well off the land in the Kalahari Desert. They are happy because the gods have provided plenty of everything, and no one in the tribe has unfulfilled wants. One day, a glass Coke bottle is thrown out of an aeroplane and falls to earth unbroken. Initially, this strange artifact seems to be another boon from the gods—-Xi's people find many uses for it. But unlike anything that they have had before, there is only one bottle to go around. This exposes the tribe to a hitherto unknown phenomenon, property, and they soon find themselves experiencing things they never had before: jealousy, envy, anger, hatred, even violence.
Since it has caused the tribe unhappiness on two occasions, Xi decides that the bottle is an evil thing and must be thrown off of the edge of the world.
In the end the bottles gone and all are happy again
