I've thoroughly enjoyed VR meetings, but I'm not sure yet if it's a novelty or if there is a future here. I can also vouch for Miro like others have said.

I enjoyed Freedom by Sebastian Junger, I actually read it twice. I like the directness of his writing plus I've always admired the general sense of humanity he portrays. I reread The Road by Cormac McCarthy, for me his writing style is

Negotiate a 4 day work week or compressed hours so you do 5 days over 4 days. Enjoy three day weekends immediately and see it as a step towards retirement right away. PS why do you want to retire now?

I'm 3 months into a 3 year part time Software Development university course. First module is Java and using Eclipse. Can someone recommend something else I should be learning in line with this article/your view?

I have this nihilistic thought experiment that's it's already too late, and we should otherwise prepare for the inevitable. I hope I'm wrong, but nonetheless, maybe we can't fight it.

I had a month of between jobs this year, and as it was peak covid I couldn't travel. I ended up hiring a WeWork so I had somewhere to go, and working on personal projects. If there's something you've wanted to build and didn&
