I was renting an apartment in SF to be near the office and avoid the commute, but it just wasn’t the same. I missed my home and family. Eventually I decided I would arrive to the office at lunch time to avoid rush hour and leave at 8pm. That worked out much better for me.
Now that I am fully remote, nothing will convince to ever set foot in an office again. I just rejected a position worth a raise in the six figures because management couldn’t commit to allow me working full time remote. I make that much extra just working on side projects with the free time I gain by staying at home.

- DevKoala 5y agoI have a friend who has a huge contract with a manufacturing company that is publicly traded. Whenever I have the time I pick up some tasks from him. It allows me to work on WebGL which is a nice break from the data engineering/systems design work I do for my regular full time employer. I also have a crypto trading bot, but honestly, I stopped it recently due to the fact I wasn’t ready to deal with the volatility of the last few weeks.
