Used to spend 40+ min in Austin traffic. I don't believe that people working in tech should have to commute, since all the work can be accomplished over the Internet. Yet, several friends of mine are not allowed to work from home (SysAdmins and Developers), and so have to endure the pain of commute for no reason.
- criddell 9y agoI live in Austin and sometimes commute via bicycle. When I do, it takes me about 40 minutes to get there. Enduring the pain of the commute is kind of the point. :)
- stevenwoo 9y agoI used to work in Austin about 20 years ago, what is the general start/end of your commute to work? Curious about how much things have changed.
- criddell 9y agoThe traffic does get bad, but it's very predictable. I drive through a few school zones and if I time it poorly, it takes probably 40 minutes for me drive. When I time it well (that is, leave early or late), half that. During the summer, 15 minutes. Everybody complains about the traffic, but it really isn't all that bad most of the time. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I enjoy my time in the car.
