I dont know how much longer I can pretend to care about my job when it is so painfully obvious many of my colleagues dont. The fiercely passionate actually dont seem to notice that some arent like them when everyone is remote. Thankfully its not demanding.
What on earth
I adapted to WFH well but - and that's a big one - I had multi-year experience working solo from home, for multiple years, before COVID started.

Back when I started working solo around 10 years ago, I remember it wasn't easy and it took me a long time to find out how to do it right (e.g. things like "you still need to decide what your working hours are", or "you need self discipline" etc.).

Back then, I remember having a hard time and I could not wait to get back to an office - which I did around 2015.

But this second time around, I knew what to expect and I was able to adapt well from the start. Plus I have awesome coworkers and boss, that makes things a lot easier. We do things like virtually hang out once a week to play games etc. - that helps with not feeling lonely.

EDIT: but the biggest difference is probably that I now have a family. Back then I had flatmates, but I guess it's not the same.
Hanging out with coworkers would be my own personal hell, to be frank. And there's nothing wrong with my coworkers, I'd like to emphasize that, but I have friends and family that I'd rather hang out with. Coworkers are just coworkers to me.
What's the worst that could happen?

> It's a motivational thing for me.

I've always loved working from home (and was doing it for almost a year before the pandemic started), I'm quite self-driven, but I do recognize that it can be difficult to get back into the groove once you've been out of it for a while - meeting colleagues in person would help with that aspect.

Ideally, if my colleagues weren't some 3000 km away, I wouldn't mind going to the office once a week or something.
Picking up hobbies to meet women is miserable. I actually do not want to meet any kind of women while doing my hobbies, I do not want something pure to be distracted with prurient thoughts.
"Just as responsible"... for not being able to instantaneously react to the car abruptly steering itself into a bollard at the last second?
What I like most is to work from a rented office that is not the office. That separates work from home but without being forced to constant closeness with coworkers.

> rather than sitting in an open concept office and being _continually_ interrupted.

I think of the benefit of the office being the opportunity for continuous partial attention. It affords the ability to be aware of what's going on about you, to learn & see a lot more. But one has to be attentive-ish, have some receptivity, to benefit from this. I feel like I can work without interruption in an office. But it's a risk or a sacrifice to do so: giving up my option of awareness, giving up the chance to share, the chance to learn or teach, the chance to discuss, to focus on my own things.

Rather than argue against open office as a bad construct, my main grievance is that most engagement points are synchronous & exclusive. Those not in the room at the time are not included, in most organization. Most learning, most deciding happens in the moment, in confidence. The open-office works because people are unable to find good forums for important conversations, and so ad-hocracy is an acceptable all-connected fallback.

Remote tends to be way more deliberate. Ad-hoc interaction is replaced by smaller networks of who-wants-to-talk-to-who. Most actions are private & hidden. It's even less communicative.

I'd far prefer an organization that can find more enduring, participatory, accessible ways of communicating. True for organizations which are remote, and those that are in person.
I've signed up for SNDS, but there's no mitigation to be done from there, it's purely informative. And that form looks like one I've filled out to no avail.

My email server is very small, so it's not a big deal... But thanks for the links.
I like catching up with my co-workers but I'd be lying if I claimed it was for improved efficiency on the day/at-the-time. It pays back in motivation and common understanding, but travel to and from work, time wastage catching up, longer lunches eats into the productivity.

Its a LOT harder to maintain "flow" in open-plan.

But my ears hurt less when I don't have to constantly zoom in with 'phones. That said, Because not 100% of the overlap worklife people are in the office at the same time, most meetings incur a zoom cost anyway.
The reverse is also quite true.
You can get a thing which just seems too slow/fiddly/buggy/etc, but it's in an area where you are unfamiliar with, so you pass it off as just your misunderstanding of the thing. Whenever you investigate more on it, you find that there are ways ppl use it that avoid the problems that you are having with it, or that pieces of the thing make a certain amount of sense the way they are.
Then as you learn more you begin to understand the underlying reason that the thing is the way it is, and you realise that it's not you. Poor decisions were made in the design of the thing initially (or at least decisions which once valued the right things, but now do not), and have become baked into the DNA of the thing so it could not be fixed without major changes that nobody wants to do.
It's at that point, you realize that the emperor has no clothes, and certainly didn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I find this is particularly the case when the design flaw is particularly bad, the developers end up adding complexity to work around the flaw, which has the effect of hiding the flaw, making it alot less obvious to the novice.
Using the commute time to invest in my social-skills and spending time with family in my opinion is one of the reasons why I am now leaning towards a permanent WFH.
Before the pandemic I did not know what I was missing in life -- spending quality time with family/friends.

Lots of cool ideas, but the people of that era had no idea how poorly the auto-oriented pattern would scale, nor how expensive it would be to build and maintain. Notice for example, where are the parking lots and gas stations in this plan?

You can see the appeal of their vision, especially in light of the condition of cities they were used to. But instead we got stroads and snout houses for all :/

"CODA Content Automatic Observation and Deletion Center"

http://www.coda-cj.jp/en/coda.html

"In 2009, we formed our “Automated Contents Monitoring Center” to send out takedown notices to some UGC sites in China and South Korea, using crawling technology to monitor the sites and digital fingerprinting technology to identify (verify) infringing contents."

"CODA Content Automatic Observation and Deletion Center," which started running as an operation test in 2011, was implemented with various technologies such as "Crawling Technology" and "Comparison Technology." The Center has achieved 99.7% deletion success so far (as of March 31, 2014).
The pandemic has allowed me to change my life for the better. Once we started to work from home we took our chances and moved out of the city, hoping we wouldn't have to return to an office. We live close to nature now, close to family, have a wonderful community. We get to work from home so we spend much more time with family. There are many occasions throughput the week where I take a long break to work on something completely different, fixing something around the house, work on a project, go for a walk, it's just not possible in an office. I'm grateful for the time of my life not wasted in an office and the circumstances that come with it.

Work for home by far. It saves me 1 hour and a half of commute everyday, and allows me to have a semblance of work life balance.
1 hour commute both ways in the SF Bay Area. Such a waste of life.
Um.. because bit a single artist has said their pay was reduced. Lol. What is this argument?
If by "office" you mean some large open office that you're forced to report to by 9:30-10:30 and stay for 8 hours glued to your desk the whole time with countless meetings, then no I prefer the freedom of working remotely.

I think "working remotely" is more accurate description because one can work remotely without working from home (eg. working out of a coworking space, coffee shop, or park)
1. AMP requires publishers to submit AMP versions of their pages to Google. If publishers think AMP is a bad deal, all they have to do is stop submitting AMP pages to Google.

2. Newspaper revenue was plummetting for years before AMP came on the scene.
That's fair, but it's worth acknowledging that many of the criticisms—especially the legitimate ones—come from the intellectual left. Especially given that most of us do not live in the right-wing extremist media ecosystem.
This kind of makes you a bad coworker. I would be annoyed if someone actually needed to pester me in person regularly to function. I work from home to avoid people like that now. If I was in the office I would not want to talk to anybody unless we had some prearranged meeting on a specific topic.
This would be for my website, most vanity.

Frankly, every job I've applied for at this point just has me re-entering everything- even my internal system!
I don't plan to use dating apps again. All of my (admittedly few) successful romantic relationships have been through friends-of-friends, work colleagues or serendipity - so that's what seems to work for me.

I think part of the problem is that dating complete strangers sucks because, well, you simply don't know them or know anyone they know. It's basically selecting at random hoping for a good fit. Similar hobbies and interests can only take you so far.

I originally wrote a longer reply on why swipe apps don't work for me but it wasn't particularly insightful (the "20% of men get all the women" issue).

When I was using dating apps, I had the best results with OKCupid and I hope those profile based sites make a comeback.

Only recently looking at cars, what I have found interesting is collision detection and automatic breaking. It seems some manufacturers have a reputation for getting it right, and other manufacturers a reputation for a terrifying feature that drivers disable due to it going off at exactly the wrong time.
> Quite a lot of us at least overlap with that. Basically all FE web or GUI dev, any end-user image/video processing, pretty much anything that puts graphics on a screen that aren’t UI SDK builtins.

I completely disagree, except for high end picture or video production. I have used way too many websites that clearly only work well on large, nice displays. Most end users of anything will not have the same high quality expensive monitor/computer that's being suggested.

I remember reading some article about someone who used an old i3 processor on a 4:3 laptop screen or something, knowing that if his code is slow for him, it's slow for his users. I think this mindset is genius and should be more common. Take MS Teams for example. It's like their devs have only ever tested on a gigabit link M1 and it's painful for the other 99.9% of people who use it.

So if you want to get a nice setup for yourself, then you should. But you should not do it for your clients, and if you do, you should understand your users will not have machines like yours.
That's already the case with existing banks so not much of a useful distinction to make here.

That isn't what teachers I have talked to have said. Though, it depends on the student. Every teacher has told me that there are certain students that were doing terrible in in-person school, but came alive and excelled beyond all expectations during remote learning. One teacher related that she saw one of the students after in-person schooling started again and that student had reverted to failing at everything. In-person is good for some people, remote is good for some people. The problem is we want a solution that fits everyone and don't want to acknowledge that different people have different needs.
Here's a story that explains this concept. A programmer goes to his manager, presenting a paper with a lengthy problem for the manager to solve. The manager looks over the paper, thinks for a few minutes, then writes down the answer. The employee then tells the manager "What were you doing for the last 5 minutes? It didn't look like you were working at all". The manager responds saying "I was thinking about the problem before coming up with the solution".

The programmer then informs the manager that this is what it is like to write code all day. But since programming looks like you are just sitting there not doing anything for much of the time, then you have to pretend to be doing something whenever someone walks by so it doesn't look like you are just goofing off (otherwise they feel that they can interrupt you breaking your train of thought). And that makes programming less efficient.

The manager was then enlightened.
I don't mind going to my office because my commute is a short bike ride and unlike probably a lot of you I have an actual little private office. But now, being in the office is suboptimal because there's still restrictions on how much direct contact we can have with other people in the building. I mean, why go to the office if I still have to use Zoom? (right now the office is closed for everyone).
Why older men? All through my career, it was the younger folks who tended to treat the office as a social hub as well as the place they worked. As they got older, they'd develop more contacts in their communities through spouses, children, etc. and "fade" from the social swirl at work. At the very top of the age distribution you might find empty-nesters who have trouble connecting online, but those people were already leaving of the workforce (voluntarily plus ageism) so statistically I think they're outweighed by the youngsters who never knew any other way to meet people. What experience have you had that's different?

Sure, Django doesn't have that level of presence, but most of the tech companies I've interviewed with, especially startups, default to using Django alone, and being so rigid in their practices that they believe Django is everything. At my company, my colleagues only know Django or they write horrendous Python. I'm constantly doing my best to show them how to write production-grade python code without having to rely on Django - Airflow DAGs for example, but sadly, they seem uninterested - which is something I have realized I cannot fix. It's just a job, so at the end of the day I've to let go.

It's odd though, how unreadable Python code can end up being if you don't bother caring about how you write code.
Maybe it depends on how the team is structured. For the team I belonged to, most of our long-term planning was done informally, we were small enough that we could often spontaneously discuss future goals, present problems, and potential solutions. But with the advent of WFH, those discussions no longer happen, and nobody seems to have time or interest in regularly scheduled meetings.

But I don't know, I only learned recently that my own team members had been working around a broken feature that I maintain for over a year without telling me. I kind of feel like I've been abandoned.
I’m thinking of all the chemicals we pump into everything that ups our risk to get cancer.
Not bad, just different. Many humans enjoy socializing with other humans in a workplace setting. It's ok that you don't like it, but that doesn't make this person a bad coworker.
What about abuse of antibiotics? They are known to kill gut microbes.
WFH has become so monotonous. It drags on far longer than working from the office. I can't focus. It's more exhausting. There's nobody to talk to.

My employers are getting half the efficiency they used to get. Anything I used to find enjoyable about the work is now gone.

I'm probably going to go on a looong sabbatical soon.
And that totally discounts the self defense the Kurdish people engaged in? You're grasping at straws here.

>US military is occupying

US military has presence and has engaged in (importantly) air support, but to call it "occupying" all the Kurdish territory is an intentional I think misrepresentation. It's hilarious that anyone would call it "occupying" when the boots on the ground were minimal to almost non-existent. I really don't need to go off these ignorant statements when I bore witness to what was happening with my own eyes, but I'm sure you know more from whatever you read on the internet.

First of all the USA word & act dating itself. IMHO it has such a mechanical connotation, not about love and pleasure of learning to know others but an act towards a single purpose. See the answers of others for more details.

Secondly that most dating apps business model is based on time being online in the app which gives app-makers wrong incentives according to the makers of Breeze. The makers of startup Breeze get paid for each face-to-face human meeting https://breeze.social/en/FAQ people have instead.

I would love to see this poll broken up into some kind of demographics of:
Are you single/married/married with kids, do you have roommates (and are they also wfh) what industry do you work in, what stage of your career are you in, are you managing people, etc.

I thought WFH would be great but it happened too early in my career. I had no savings and too many roommates, and I was not learning nearly as much on the job as I was while we were all in person. I still had to learn how to do my tasks but stopped having conversations with random coworkers about projects they were working on, stopped gossiping about our personal lives, all of our activity became measured and quantified (I freaking hate the MS-Teams online status) and my motivation suffered hard for all of it. It's hard for me to tell if it's my workplace that became dysfunctional or myself, but I wish I had spent long enough time in the office to get sick of it before being wfh.
I sympathize. I became stir crazy working at home 6-9 months into the pandemic. I like having an office as a separation between my work and home lives. I like being at a place designed for working where other people are working. I like the change of scenery.

Most surprising was I realized I actually get a lot out of having a commute. In the morning it’s time to think about what’s coming up for the day and in the evening it’s time by myself to unwind before walking in the front door.

When my company went fully remote and closed our office we gave people the option of getting a coworking space. I took advantage, I wasn’t sure I’d use it at first but figured it was worth a try. After a couple days I never looked back. Shortly after a friend who works remotely for a different company decided to share it with me and we got a bigger space. With the changes combined I noticed an immediate and marked improvement in my mental health.

For us, it’s great.
We have a lot of the social benefits of being in an office even through we don’t work together. We also have strong relationships with our coworkers as our companies build remote-first cultures. To me it’s the best of both worlds and I’d have a hard time working all alone again.
The pandemic really helped me confirm that I prefer the office.

I always sought to establish a clear distinction between my work life and home life and the enforced work from home due to COVID has made the two blur to a point now where I feel like I've lost all rhythm. Now living through a pandemic itself has a way of disrupting the rhythm of life but I feel that the collapsing of space into a singular living and work area doesn't help matters.

Another unexpected thing I've found that I missed while working from home is a commute. Now I imagine a person's opinion of their commute is highly conditioned on the mode of transportation but in my case it's a mostly relaxing public transit ride where I had 20-30 minutes of unstructured time to read, listen to a podcast, or just zone out. It similarly helped create additional space to separate the work life from the home life.

This second point on a commute would probably completely change if I had a 90 minute drive in bumper to bumper traffic. If that was my life, there's a good chance I'd find work from home preferable.
I miss the in-person time, but I don't miss the commute. That's the conundrum.

I don't like zoom calls, especially since we have so many pointless ones. Half the people (or more) don't even turn on the camera, and nearly all of them have crappy microphones. It's mostly an exhausting waste of time.

There are a bunch of nearby teams that I'd interact with daily at the office, but we have no real reason to talk most days when we're just plugging away on our own narrow slice of the work, so that connection is fading. I feel more mercenary than I ever have in my working life before.
Saw the light of wfh in 2020. Won't consider returning to the office anytime soon. I'm sensitive to my environment, and staying home has been a game changer. It's opened my eyes to other ways I was ignoring my needs, too. Now I can spend my precious introvert people budget on things that are more important to me than office interactions, and perform better at work to boot.

I recognize other people prefer office work and that's totally fair. I'm just glad that the pandemic has opened easier avenues for people like me.
