I like programming but I'm tired of the hours, of being salaried, and of employers that could lay their filthy hands on everything I make outside of work. I hate "unlimited vacation" but it's nearly impossible to avoid. I like how my small company job is much more intellectually stimulating than my old big company one, but the work never ends and I should be making a lot more in this city.
- hartator 11y agoWhich city? and why you don't like unlimited vacation? I personaly don't like it because it's a bit hypocritical.

When I had 4+ weeks guaranteed, I took advantage of it every year without guilt, even the full amount all at once, as did most engineers. Now I feel guilty for every day. I don't feel like there are any borders between work and leisure. Slack is always active even with inane dialogue.
