It doesn't necessarily mean not working. Just only showing up for a little while and still working from home otherwise. Like maybe only go in for a few hours in the morning until lunch, go home at lunch, and then work from home the res

Hell, that thought is lurking from time to time and I'm not even close to retirement age. Part of me wishes I was older just so I could justify it.

I currently pretty much only use A.I. when I get stuck (or sometimes if I want some help writing the scaffolding for unit tests). If I'm not stuck then I don't use it. There may come a day when I don't think it'll be wor

You can still not comply and see if they end up terminating you. If they value you as an employee enough they may begrudgingly be willing to look the other way. I've had companies try several times to bring people back to the office, j

You can always work on video games on the side. I used to be in the video game industry, but I'm not anymore. That's what I do now. Even before I got into the industry I was making video games on the side. The only time I wasn&#x2

Certain fields need it more than others. Graphics and vide game development needs more math than web app development (well, usually. Sometimes you need to implement a formula), including trigonometry. I used a bunch of trigonometry when I w

ChatGPT is absolutely taking people away from Google. People are turning to that instead of a search engine for more and more things now. Here's one article about it: https://www.techradar.com/tech/people-are-incre

You can do what I do and just wear them around the house 95% of the time. I actually tend to prefer wearing them to my distance glasses, as long as I'm in my house (and I work from home, so I'm mostly in my house). Some things in

Not too much. I turn to it a bit faster when I get stuck at work, as speed is important at my job (I work in consulting), but if I'm not stuck I don't use it, and I'm probably faster than if I tried using it when I'm not

Same. I've driven short distances sometimes to pick up lunch or something 5-10 minutes away because I forgot to switch my glasses. It wasn't ideal but perfectly doable. I've only done it a handful of times, though. And also I

I do the same. In fact I usually just wear the intermediate distance glasses all the time around the house, and only switch to my primary glasses when I leave the house. Considering I work from home that can mean that I wear my intermediate

Brown rice isn't that good for you. Although if you remove that (or at least tell them to do 'light' rice) and add the lettuce, one of the salsas and the fajita veggies instead it starts getting pretty healthy (at least as fa
