I quit 2 jobs that had a RTO. One was Salesforce when they acquired Slack. The other was another software company that I still have an NDA with.
I'm never going back into the office. I rather make less money.
What's interesting is that I'm actually making more money doing remote because I don't need to commute or pay for lunches or happy hours anymore. Actual time spent at work calculated, I'm making 40% more $.
Is the fire department socialism? Everyone pays for a service/insurance that 99.9% people might never use, but want to have in case some shit went down. Why does nobody think this is socialism is beyond me.
I have it and 99.9% of the time I'm just listening to music. I only record video or take a photo of things I would have normally taken with a phone like candid photos of my kids out something interesting I want to research later.
Some of us use the glasses as intended.
Don't make some it seem like all of us are creepy. The mass majority are not.
Been married for 24 years. Both of us watch porn and sometimes together. We have 2 awesome kids and are very happy. My wife's libido Is lower than mine and she rather I get off than have her do something she doesn't want to do. When is this divorce thing going to happen?
I'm not saying you should have kids. That's a decision you don't take lightly.
But as a father of 2, I want to tell you that you will never love anybody or anything in the world than you will with your kids. I was a selfish piece of shit and after having kids, man, I hate who I was before.
It's not for the faint of hearts. Shit ain't easy. But I can tell you it's quite the experience and I don't regret it.
This "study" is awful. Wtf is Unknown? I run multiple websites. It's consistently at 75% Windows. My website is globally. The % is lower in the US.
Back in my day when you wanted to do anything, you walk into a branch and talk to a teller. Without a mobile device, you go back to living in the 90s.
In Taiwan, we can count to 10 on one hand.
The website uses the bank app 2FA. Without it you can't login.
I have 7+ AI agentic agents doing work for over 30+ people. All of these workflows are designed by me. If I don't show up to a meeting because I need a break, they can't do anything. Because if I ever left, they are fucked.
Honestly I rather they let me hire some human employees so I can train some of them. This entire company infrastructure lives and dies by me.
I been using open models for 100% of my coding. 1/2 of the time I'm using local open models like qwen 3.6 or Dwarfstar if it's sensitive code I don't want the internet learning from.
I don't miss using frontier models at all. GLM5.2 and Deepseek V4 pro are both equal or beats sonnet. I haven't had to use Opus for awhile now.
Error, not like how the Chinese does it. It's literally an integrated government+ industry. There is a worker pipeline and a parts pipeline that intergrates everything with the help of the government. In the us, you get a couple of bucks off a car. Not the same.
