Secret?
I learned very early in my software career that software at giant employers is half decoration and bullshit for people who need patterns, frameworks, and toys to do their jobs. That is a tremendous amount of unnecessary fluff that wastes people’s time. I also learned that by not dicking around with all the bullshit you could finish your entire days work in less than 2 hours (often producing a more durable and better performing solution) freeing up the rest of the day for scenic walks, side projects, self-education, and leisure reading.

- xwdv 5y agoMy concern is that this is only a temporary state, a symptom of employers who have not yet been well calibrated to WFH yet. When they become more savvy I fear they will find ways to make you work for the full 8 or 9 hours while working from home by giving you more tasks to do.
