The social interaction from working in an office? Not in the least. My work could mostly be categorized as SW development, and I've been doing it 100% remote for ~5 years. My wife has worked freelance editing from home ~15 years. We do

The marginal cost of my time when I'm already making enough money is expensive as fuck.

Bingo, we have a winner! Speaking for myself, I'm at a point where I'm making enough money and have been making decisions to increase my free time. Things like working 100% from home so that I don't waste time commuting and t

Signal prioritizes security over usability. Part of security is limiting the number of copies of data you have floating around as part of reducing the attack surface. Backups of chats, particularly if they're plaintext, represent an ex

Usability on Telegram is fantastic in how it syncs messages between devices and allows editing/deleting them. I see its security as good enough for my risk model, which is primarily keeping my chats out of the hands of Facebook, Google

Signal and Telegram are both solid alternatives built around different security models. When I get a notification in Messenger, Instagram, etc., I simply reply back with my contact info for those apps. Telegram gives you a vanity URL using

Don't care. Haven't used Google since they put social engineering and ad revenue ahead of search quality and usability When I peek in from time to time, it looks intolerable compared to DDG's clean results.

Why this when applications like Telegram, Signal, etc. already exist? That ship has sailed…

Really depends on what you're after. It's possible to make career choices to optimize work-to-pay ratio vs. attempting to optimize pure pay or other items.

Also perfectly reasonable to grow and push yourself through hobbies and side hustles. I fine with my work, but it's primarily a way to pay the bills and give me the freedom to explore unrelated things.

Python's power comes from the fantastic array of libraries to which it provides access. Much of my Python coding involves stringing together calls to SciPy, Matplotlib, lxml, and the like. It's a super productive language so long

Insecure against what? These days, I'm more concerned about corporations data mining my private messages than government snooping, and I'm confident that Telegram accomplishes that. I'd use different messaging if I was concer

I sort of agree with that, but currently work 100% remote and hang out with neighborhood pals after work.

I'm continually astounded that threading involves jumping through so many hoops in 2019. If you want a language that provides a REPL and easy threading, your choices are few and far between.
