“When I tell people that I work at home developing software for Art & Logic, they usually
say something like "Wow! What a great gig!" And it is, but there are challenges to working at home.
Folks typically think that it would be hard to get any work done. But for me, the bigger challenge
is making sure work doesn't overtake my "home" life. Sometimes it's a delicate balancing act.
