Now, show us your dream job.
Fortunate for me, I'm already in my dream job with ThoughtWorks.
Which software company (or any company for that matter) allows their employees to:
- work with the latest ideas and tools?
- choose the computer platform they prefer to use?
- blog about what they do daily (encourage, in fact)?
- use what they learn in projects and write books, probably co-author with Martin Fowler (another encourage activity)?
- diversify, learn new skills (technical or otherwise), and change role within the organization?
- hold the management accountable to what they preach, and have open discussions?

You make me jealous Alex.So you can choose to do all your work on *nix, Mac, Windows? What about Virtual machines?

Yep. I am a .Net developer and I've just received a new laptop from work (the old one's lease expired soon). I went from a Dell D610 to a Macbook Pro, and now use VMware for Windows work. Other TWers have similar setup and some dual boot Windows and Linux, or use WINE in Linux.

Ironically that's what I do, I use Linux as my desktop and VM for Windows and Visual Studio. It worked 10x's better than my simply using Windows. Good to know I'm not the only one who's tried this.
