As a junior software engineer at a new job: I think the only reason I’ve been productive at all during this is because I have some experience working remotely. A lot of people aren’t taking it seriously and don’t realize how important discipline and separating everything is. I’m glad I’m at a company that had good plans in place for something like this but I feel like these two things put me in a tiny minority.
The good news is: everyone has learned a lot and if they want to do it again it might be easier.

- ntsplnkv2 7y agoOne big factor is the lockdown in many places. Working from home when I can go to the gym at lunch, the doctors office at 9, pick up X and Y hour, etc, is a lot different than what we're dealing with now - which is: "you're WFH but can't do anything else."
