I agree that people should know the implications, but I know them and am essentially comfortable with the tradeoffs. After all, I already share much of my browser history via Chrome anyways.

I don't consider that trivial. Switching from work email back to personal email, or checking Facebook while coding is very common for me. More importantly, I don't particularly care if my employer has the ability to track my activity.
- jakobegger 9y agoIf you check Facebook while coding, your productivity might also profit if you started using a separate device for that :)
- morgante 9y agoThanks for the moralizing point, which is entirely what I objected to in the original article. How I manage my personal productivity is my prerogative. Personally I find that I fluctuate between periods of intense focus (where hours of coding pass without me even noticing) and times where my brain is tired and I need a thoughtless distraction.
