I did when my previous place made me redundant, I didn't need to jump into the first job and I could claim unemployment whist waiting to.

It well be more experienced people though and you will need enough $ to do this.

Seconded one of my regrets was not really going for a place on a round the world boat race a few years ago and taking a sabbatical to do the whole thing.

Id just been diagnosed which a chronic illness and though it would have been fair on the rest of the crew.

Its "class" we are talking about here and it does exist in the US compare Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs and Woz.

And technically upper class is doesn't need to work and can live of investments / property.

Its a bit more complex in the UK ABc1 is middle but their are social distinctions dependant on job not income.

For example A Plumber Miner or train driver might make more than an engineer but would be working class.

Basically what sort of honour would you get for doing charity work is a good marker

Its pretty common for ordinary middle class kids - and remember in the UK a degree is three years not the US four years (or even longer in Europe)

Bit harder now post Brexit though

Its actually interesting (bit on the spammy side) a lot of sites get built by a developer who doesn't relay pay any attention on to its intended function.

And designing the right architecture for example do not stuff all your sku's / PDP on one single page with just images, no text and a page title of "Products"

And a lot of businesses a page will have to serve multiple requirements: a laser focused ppc landing page targeting one term well that's a lot easier.

That's the point I was asked in late 1999 to sort out a show stopper problem at one of the exbibits at the millennium dome.

Took me about 2/3 of a day but only about an hour of programming the rest was spent thinking and sketching out the problem and test cases on paper.

Program ran first time and ran with 100% uptime for the duration

Lol I remember volunteering for a ground breaking RAD / DSDM ? Agile web project in 94.

BT gave me a £25 pound voucher which I put together with my previous projects £25 voucher and brought a diamond Rio MP3 player.

If its "related" to your employers business yes - unless you agree a variation of the contract.

The Linksys routers where not really competing in that corporate market though.

Some Small Business may have used Linksys but they would not have been buying cisco kit in most cases.

But think of the economies of scale and the $ saved in terms of RnD and marketing
