I'm once again toying with what a good way to start a software consultancy looks like when it’s based in equality and mutual respect structurally, while accommodating part-time work.

I love my current job, because it's a team that does mostly set its own agenda and processes, and the external authority mostly makes sense — things like good clinical practice and other good ____ practice are documented norms across the industry. They are forces of nature or climate, rather than power structures within the company. Other parts of the company I'm sure have authoritarian power structures but my team is mostly isolated from them. There is a guy in charge, but he's also the source of domain expertise that we are happy to delegate to, and we're left with immense autonomy for the software aspects.

But when this job comes to an end, I want to do work in a structure that isn't a big hierarchy of power.
