This is seriously a first world country's software engineers problem. Anyone of my friends who is not currently employed as software engineer would do anything for that schedule and $100k/yearly salaries. I think sometime people just take too much things for granted; we are just happened to love what we do and get paid/spoiled a lot by this industry. Imagine this industry is not needed; I am sure you would be begging to have this flexible office hours.
From my point of view, work is the place I get PAID to learn something news from other. Someday, I stayed until 8pm or work on weekend. Does that mean I was forced to or get paid overtime? No, I stayed because I have the urge to learn and solve the problem. Now, if you think about work from that perspective then it wouldn't be so bad now, would it?
FWIW, I am not criticizing anyone but just simply giving my point of view and how fortunate I felt to be pampered from this industry. And just maybe, my view is different from others because I just graduated from college and always eager to learn.
maybe it's just me but I feel like I have a stutter thought when I read using that. It's just doesnt feel right; I think books/articles reading will be less enjoyable if I'd have to use it.
"For example, when I see the wait staff at a restaurant running around to serve dinner, I feel these people as working much harder than any internet engineer you’ll ever see"
True but being a waiter doesn't not required much skills or staying up all night to fix a product blocker issue.
The design looks so familiar, and it has been bugging me the whole day. Finally, I found it! The new Mac Pro designs reminded me of this DLINK Wireless Router
Because they thought web development is just hacking together html and css; and you dont need any logic but just sitting down and hacking it away! To be honest, I used to have that mindset until I got a front end developer job. It is a nightmare to get pixel perfect style on every single browsers and devices. Not to mention, when we do a simple google search we can see so much websites and people offering to do "web developing" for such a low cost.
