experiment with drastically reducing your productivity. if no one notices great, you now have time to spend on personal projects and get paid. If people notice look for a new job. I don't understand why everyone doesn't do this at jobs they dislike.

Not sure if you're trolling or not, but I'll respond anyway.

I'll give two reasons: 1) it's dishonest 2) if your mgmt does notice, this will burn bridges with both mgmt and your coworkers who have to pick up the slack.

I'm a co-founder at a startup called Boffery, a visual diary for people's sex lives. (Think Geni.com for sex.)

The sex angle alone doesn't sound terribly important, but our long-term plan is to license the technology to other social networks -- or, and this is terribly unlikely but obviously tempting, become a large-scale general-interest social network on our own.

We have a spec, an early prototype built by our one developer, a forthcoming angel investment, a thousand people on our beta-tester waiting list, and a plan for getting to revenue (but not profit) by the end of the year. If you're interested, I can introduce you to our project manager. E-mail me at nick@toomuchnick.com.

He said he wanted to work on something important.

LOL :-)

didn't Zed Shaw have a step-by-step how-to on this at CUSEC 2008? :)

Insert some slightly sexist comment hahaha, j/k ;)

And people wonder why more women aren't in tech.

I find that the "burn bridges" argument rarely applies in real life unless it's a small community.
