Hey, thanks for doing this ama. I wanted to ask you why did you choose specifically that part of the globe to employ people from, and not, for example, western hemispheres or somewhere else.

Hey man, thanks for the answer. I had no intention to insinuate that it's bad there at all.

Actually, I asked as I am praying I will get some remote contract soon, so I can come and spend couple of months in Asian countries working and exploring culture at the same time.

Hej man, been reading this AMA for a while now, great AMA btw, one of the best ones I have read in past couple of years.   I wanted to reflect this

german companies don't understand that they also need hackers

  I was also into a bit of hacking myself, in time when I didn't care much about consequences of my actions, and my personal/professional image. Luckily I managed to go to college, and finish it without any problems whatsoever, and I have been working for quite some time now.  

Thing is honestly that not just college kids are better, but safer bet as well.  

If you had a company and you had to work with someone who doesn't care if he is going to jail tomorrow, or who is going to find and exploit stuff in my internal network and has police files to back it up, and someone who (most) probably likes what he is doing, finished school for it and has no criminal record, who would you choose from?

 

Also, you specified that hacking is a mindset, a mindset in which anyone who likes technology and programming can get into. It would take some time to train a person that is true, but even then span of what you could be able to do, and what trained person would do, would not be bigger than 5%.

  Don't get me wrong, I was like you once, but in all honesty things work like this. Thank you so much for your AMA.
