Björn Lindqvist

Hello, my name is Björn Lindqvist

I'm a consultant. Here is my resume: http://www.bjornlindqvist.se/

I am one of those people who protests a lot against all the closing of perfectly valid and useful questions on SO.

Smart people are nice. The world would be a better place if there where more meritocracies in it.
