It's been 3 years or so. Millions of jobs lost. But I'm interested in reading HN users' stories.

I'm frustrated with my job but don't feel that I can find anything else that is as flexible given the work climate. I miss 1999 when I was able to walk into my bosses office, say "I want a $15,000 raise," and he said "OK" with no hesitation.

So I decided to start doing independent software development at home so I can free myself in the future. I just picked up a book on Android development after being inspired by some people here on HN. Just hoping an idea or two hit before I'm done with the book.

I live in Hong Kong and do a lot work here and in China... what financial crisis? HK is overheating and China is going nuts. Until it all falls apart here things are going well.

I live in Western Australia and I can tell you we're riding the China boom. Unemployment is among the lowest in the 1st world. What GFC?
