More CO2 is generated by remote employees than those that go to work. The CO2 emissions generated by an office (including heating / AC / water / employee transportation - in EU it's mostly by subway / bus) are smaller compared to each individual employee CO2 emissions.

(Mostly) front-end developer with javascript knowledge and over 15 years of experience.
Aside from development, I've also got a couple of skill multipliers that make me add more value to the projects I'm involved in:
* I'm not afraid to ask questions (How will the clients use the code I write? Can I make it simpler / more intuitive for them? Do we really have to (re)write this whole application / module / functionality? Can we do 20% of the work for 80% of the result?)
* Worked with non-technical clients as both adviser and developer
* Challenge existing outdated processes
* Learn the concepts behind a technology, making the switch to something else easy and painless
Started as a backend developer (still have a lot of skills in that area) but slowly transitioned to front-end, where things are more exciting.
I am learning the concepts behind every front-end framework I am working with and discover both the good and the bad parts. Hence I can adapt to any new and shiny thing out there.
I maintain a couple of side projects for which I've also done some support for and realized the amount of difference the right message/explanation can make (regardless of how beautiful the code was written).
I am looking to bring value to a company either as an employee or as an external consultant.
I'm planning to use a similar model OSS / commercial as well. Mike and Sidekiq is my inspiration for this. Good luck going further with the project and congrats for the launch!
