To a lot of people that's too much effort for "no reason".
People care, but not enough to put any effort in whatsoever.

I would love for robots to take over the boring jobs like making art, I think it's a great advancement that our overlords have engineered for us. Now we can get back to things we really enjoy like shoveling shit and suffocating in mines.
Thank god they didn't make robots more useful for everyday life tasks, freeing up a portion of the day. I have a hard enough time deciding what to do with my free 25 minutes every week as it is.
Got to go, my mining shift at the shit factor.... Never mind they made robots to mine shit now, guess I'll go starve to death in line waiting for free bread crumbs.
When I was looking for a new job a couple years ago I turned down a lot of on-site and hybrid job for the sole reason that they weren't fully remote. Some of the jobs actually interested me and I would have loved to take at the time. And I can assure you I am far from wealthy.
Working from home I get to see my wife during the day, play with my son whenever I want, make my own lunch in my kitchen, water my garden during the day, work outside if I want to.
The peace of mind that it brings me is worth $400k. That's the minimum I would take to go into the office no more than 30 minutes away once a week at most.
I know that's unrealistic but so is making employees go into the office for something they're fully capable of doing at home.
If I wan unemployed and had no savings and no other job offers, of course I would take whatever job I could get. I hear the market is shit right now but still, it was never that hard to find a remote job if you're qualified at least as a software dev.
Also my wife would let me turn down whatever job if it didn't feel right as long as we're covered. I turned down a job for ~60% more pay that would've required 2-3 days in the office about 40 minutes away for my current job that's fully remote and let's me make my own hours. I spent a couple nights working on my couch watching movies and working last week so I could take Friday off with full pay and go to a water park.
You cannot replace that freedom and extra time.
Although there are circumstances that could make me consider going into an office, they would have to be dier.
Wow Firefox just barely beats out Samsung internet and opera???
I knew chrome had the majority but I didn't know even edge was above Firefox in market share.
There's like 30 people at the company I work for. 8 of them use Firefox only, about 10 of them use Firefox half of the time when chrome breaks or hogs every resource possible.
This is why whenever my toddler asks for Mac and cheese I give him a dry salad. Gotta build that character.
I've always thought of smart as essentially the ability learn. Can you pick something up that you know nothing about, take a look at it and figure out how it works and how to fix/build it? That's smart in my book
I generally agree with this, there's specific circumstances but for the most part its true.
I went from a C# position to PHP, to Python, to perl all with little or no experience with what I was jumping in to. There's different nuances and the syntax might take a bit to get used to but as long as someone understands the how and why of what their code is doing that can be pretty easily transfer to most other languages. It's all about the fundamentals.
Back in the day I had a friend who ran essentially a fish dispensary and had a good connection on quality fish antibiotics. I would stock up on a bunch of stuff whenever they were making an order.
My numbers are surely off but I was paying something like $5 for ~500 amoxacillan, where at a rite aid or CVS you'd be paying, what $50 for 14 pills. The same ingredients, the same markings, the same thing. Just a lot cheaper for fish.
This is a great response that I'm gone a steal the next timee someone has an issue with my son carrying around an Elsa doll
I do something similar, I'm on a dev team of 2 and a while back we started going in once a month for a "planning day" where we spend a couple hours in person planning out our month and spend the rest of the day talking to the teams who actually use our software to get feedback and ideas. At first the owner would take me and the other dev out for lunch but we've turned it into a whole office thing. So usually the whole offices shuts down for about 2 hours for a nice free lunch when we come in. One day a bunch of us went out for mini golf after lunch on the bosses dime. Another month a couple of us played old Xbox games and smoked cigs in the basement while we "brainstormed".
