    don’t spend much time on reddit. Just a time allocation issue not an editorial.

    A week ago at 2AM I hit reddit and on the front page “live right now” was a 24 year old kid walking down the road in a Nigerian village with a gerry jug in his hand.

    He was on his way to get “petrol“ from the gas station down the street. He just got a new phone and had some time to kill. He just walked and talked answering questions from chat too. Girls, drugs, rap, Covid.

    It was 8AM in Nigeria and folks were headed to work. 3-up on a motorcycle. Roads were dusty and in poor repair.

    So the kid was a software developer. Power was out in the village and he needed gas for his generator. He had a certification test that morning. Parenthetically, he claimed 5G was everywhere in Nigeria.

    He spoke excellent English. Grammatically correct. Knew all our idioms. Pop culture. Was funny and self effacing. One of the most impactful things I have ever seen on the Internet. Not kidding. Still processing what I watched. I wish I could find it again. Not practiced at navigating reddit.

    I have a grand unifying theory regarding remote work. I have offered it before here. It states that remote work is going to accelerate the presence of the foreign work force. If you are working remote, particularly in tech you are experiencing a good news bad news development. There exist worldwide bright educated kids who will work cheap.

    I don’t share my negativity with my kids. My tech daughter, the Tony Hseih alumn, hit the lottery. She thinks. She’s coding on some hill in Colorado now. She needs to save every freaking penny cause the gravy train ain’t gonna last for long.

    Her father is going to go broke so she better not count on me. #2021_national_shutdown

    Covid massively accelerated a shift in the landscape of the intellectual work force that was going to mimic the blue collar changes.

    Tell me I’m wrong Sonatine.
