I was wondering if their name was influenced by Apache Airflow.

That's a great point I hadn't considered. I guess they are redirecting all pages to this announcement and, by using a 503, the search results will not be impacted.

Serving the page with a status of 503 Service Unavailable is an interesting touch.

I believe you are discounting the fact that a shower is not always available at the place you are going. Take for example, you need to go to a job interview. I skip the shower at home, bike to the job interview, sweat profusely during the ride, and now I shower where exactly?

What about needing to go multiple places during the day? Should I now shower 4 times because I have 4 stops that require me to interface with people and appear clean?

Biking in Florida (substitute most of the southern US) for 7-8 months of the year is simply not possible unless it is acceptable to be a sweaty mess at each destination.

Denmark - max temp 72F/22C

Florida - max temp 100F/38C

Have fun biking in Florida, unless there is a shower ready for you at each end.

If anyone is able to discover the referenced "study", please let me know. Or was this just something confabulated by the author?

I'm interested to know which MMO?

You misunderstand me. I'm not cutting out socializing at the job. I manage a large team and never schedule anything outside of working hours for the team. We can socialize, joke around, and make small talk all day long. But once it's quitting time I have other (and to me higher) priorities.

On some occasions, someone from work has transitioned from a coworker to a friend. That was a natural transition and not something that I needed team building events that compromise my personal time to achieve.

I don't have an aversion to socializing at work. I have an aversion to work trying to steal my personal time.

I have a family and I have friends. If I want to do something awesome, I'll do it with them :). Just let me work with co-workers and let's not try and force me into friendships. These work outings are like the play date for kids -- it's more about the parents (leadership) than the kids (team).

As a candidate for a remote role, who hates to travel, this is off putting to me and I would not accept a role at your company. While it is "optional", I know how office politics work and, when you choose not to do the "optional" things, someone is thinking you aren't a team player.

I don't mind full remote -- if it's full remote. I also don't mind going in the local office (for the reasons you mentioned people like your company trip -- I feel more connected and communication walls are broken down).

"As a remote organization, Test Double is constantly revisiting employee connectivity and providing new ways for our folks to spend time together and with leadership in order to build relationships and alignment across the company."

Not sure if what I'm about to say applies to Test Double, but I have interviewed for several remote positions recently and all of them have said I would be required to attend team building events in a city half way across the country from me. This is a deal breaker for me. I'd rather go into the office, locally, 3-5 days a week than to have a company require me to attend some silly team building event for a week where they expect to own my time 18 hours a day.

If a company is going say it is remote work, then be remote and don't try to force these bizarre team building activities on everyone.

Just left in the last attic :(

One of the largest regrets I have is getting rid of all my Apple ][e stuff. I kept it for years in attics as I moved from house to house. I had a couple of ][e's, disk drives, ImageWriter printer, Apple monitors, and so many original software titles including manuals and boxes. (Of course I had 2-3 large boxes of copies too).

About 5 years ago I was moving house and just got rid of everything because I was tired of moving it. I started regretting it 6 months later and even more today.

Built and launched my first SaaS. It's a RSVP system where event planners can find out how much food, and which types, to have at an event. Would love to hear any feedback from some veteran SaaS operators.

I agree 100% with the sentiment of nohello.com. I used to have it has my status message. I've also gone long periods where I just won't respond when someone hello or hi's me. I've since realized that I was just being difficult and now I just type hey back and it makes life a lot easier.

How does the expert know what traps exist? How do we know the expert isn't being paid by the companies to give favorable reviews? Do we need a team of experts that certify the expert reviewers so we can trust the reviewers results? How do we know both sets of experts are being bribed?

Yes, let's not forget Legends of Kesmai and its predecessor Island of Kesmai.

Hello?

There are people in the world who do not work inside.

Built a home maintenance todo list for myself and then decided to write up some details for each, link videos, etc so that others could use it to track their maintenance tasks around their home.
