I once heard a couple of Swedish businessmen discuss the “slow south populations – rather sleeping than working half of the day. If they worked like we do they would not be so poor.”
Hello?
We are right now in the middle of the yearly Swedish 60-days siesta, stretching from mid June to mid August. I’m not [...]

I have been getting some comments, most of them with a negative twist, about how we really should embrace an open source approach to the software developed by Asaasco. “Open source is the fair and modern way to develop and distribute/license software”.

Why should you pay extra attention to young talent, and not just focus on ”senior key personal”?
Why should you read unsolicited, unpromising email from people you never heard of, extra carefully and before you pay any attention to that email from you accountant?
