This is the kind of thinking that makes hn the best place on the internet. It is a shame that it is not the most upvoted.

I prefer WFO. I just think it has hurt me physically and mentally over the last 12 years.

Oh I get it, I was an early adopter and advocate for working from home. Hell, it was my job to write code to help tens of thousands of people work from home when the pandemic started. I gladly did it, assuming they would all enjoy it as mu

Meditation is impossible when navigating the stress of traffic. Driving isn't exercise. I was referring to riding public transportation, then walking through the city to the office. I agree that driving doesn't meet the criteri

I'm not paying anyone to do anything, please don't tell me to fuck off for expressing my personal experience.

I didn't use the internet until 93, and didn't own a modem until Christmas of 94. I'm part of eternal September, but I always identified with the elders of the internet.

Were you chasing the feeling of successfully solving a problem? Yes, and it lead to ruin before llms were viable.

Dude. This is too mean. I'm a real person.

I was the same way, and the same work from home job I took in 2014 was the first time I didn't have to worry about bills, or picking up the check for a nice dinner. Everything was immediately better in every measurable way. The hidden

The company I work for has an amazing office with free food and beer that is a 30 minute commute in heavy traffic. The allure of sleeping in keeps me home.

Because I have got very used to using my own toilet whenever I need to.

This is more than a fair response, and I apologize for using the term, because I really daydream about going on an extended backpacking trip with money in the bank, or living in a van and traveling around. Which is significantly different t

I am very jealous of you.

Bullshit. If the company stops renting office space to save money, or hires you to a team that lives far away, you are forced to work from home.

I'm not sure if I actually believe in the intro/extro-vert dichotomy, so I normally try to stay away from the topic, but you have captured my gut feeling here.

Commutes can also be forced meditation, exercise, and exposure to sunlight and fresh air. If you don't naturally prioritize those things, the impact of missing them will sneak up on you.

I remember feeling exactly the same way. When I got offered a work from home job in august of 2014 it felt like a magic portal into a dream life I always wanted, and it was for the first 6 years. Maybe it is my town, maybe it's me. But

Ehh, I don't know if those examples really apply, even if they effectively have a similar outcome. Incentives for environmentally friendly tech are more about helping those industries get off the ground against entrenched incumbents

Next time start with this level of nuance. Flippantly arguing semantics about controversial issues is not the way.

Why would an insurer who denied all claims have any customers? I think you're missing the market competition aspect of the insurance business. Most people do not get to choose their own insurance company, they just get whatever their

The only tech job that had that balance was a network engineer at the headquaters of a global company in a skyscraper with 3 offices and a datacenter in walking distance. Most of the time I was sitting around writing code or configs, but a

I would consider two people talking to each other in a waiting room or on a train very rude too. If they are loud enough that the people next to them or behind them can hear the words they are saying, then it is rude of them. Of course, t

I have been in tech for the tech for over 20 years now, heck over 30 years as a hobbyist. I have lost almost all interest in it these days. It feels increasingly meaningless, and actively harmful. I know it is my own fault for neglecting

This dropped off the front page in the time I read it, I assume because of the controversial gate that favors upvotes to comments (which I am making worse by replying to others). It is a shame, because this really resonated with me. I'

Surely android and ios surpass windows in usage. Though I would argue that none of them are popular.

It takes more than a few decades for things to regrow. Have you ever seen a cleared lot that hasn’t been touched for a decade? We have a few near my house, and it is fascinating how wild they have gotten in such a short time. Multiplied
