Alright, we're actually doing this open working thing.
We're going to work on projects, for real clients who are set up to make people's lives tangibly better.
We can only do that if it works financially though because we've got mortgages etc.
Your support will make this happen.

We’re trying a rather radical new approach at Piccalilli by doing real world projects — for real clients — in the open. This gives us a context to provide genuine high quality, real world education for free at the point of entry.
We need your support to do free projects for good causes and publish free high quality education

I really liked the intro to this week's Dense Discovery newsletter, on the concept of a:
"...‘comfort class’ – a section of society who’ve never known what it means to experience genuine anxiety about money..."
and the disconnect between them and everybody else.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and hangs out with a bunch of other ducks, and writes for a german newspaper saying vote for the alt-right duck party, and does a nazi salute like a duck... my dude, that's a duck and you should throw away your duckmobile.
