I thought I'd put something together for people working from home.
I've been working remotely since July and honestly, the lack of social contact gets old fast.
- trwhite 7y agoBy that do you mean you dislike the lack of social contact? I started a remote role in November and I'm just starting to appreciate how much I miss spending my day in the company of others.
- vasco 7y agoWorking remotely for almost 4 years here. Whenever I join a call with co-workers to "hang out" there's no work being done. If someone is there I will speak to them or I'll want to hear what they're saying. And if we're just quiet, my work just becomes the same as if I weren't on the call except I can't have Spotify on. I think there could be a demographic for this tool, but I'd wager not a lot of work will be done while connected to it.
- ryneandal 7y agoWe leverage pair programming to alleviate this issue. It works incredibly well, but YMMV
- Seth_Goldberg 7y agoDid you choose the stock photos for your front page profiles? Are they random? Are you trying to be all 'modern' and 'diverse'? I'm always curious about those ones.
- jyriand 7y agoI usually just have a twitch programming stream running in the background. I can participate in the discussion via chat if i feel like it or just focus on my work while hearing someone typing in the background. Not sure why but it gives me a sense that I’m not totally cut off.
- mey 7y agoI have also found Twitch to be a great way to feel a social connection while WFH as a freelancer working solo.
