This exact discovery has me reconsidering now. Trying to solve the following now:

1) Convincing company to let me work remote full time in a much cheaper city.

2) Commit to learning how much it's gonna cost me to break my lease.

Before the factors was: "This is a lot of talk in SF about falling rent, but, what, a 10% savings?" (It's a lot larger than that, even locally. Knowing I'm overpaying in my locality is enough frustration that it makes me want to move, or get a new lease, or something) And how well the company was going to handle WFH, and they've been doing fine, so, good opportunity to find a cheap place to live.

Absolutely anecdotal to a single apartment building, but I check the listed prices for units inside my building in Redwood City.

My particular unit-type, on another floor, has fallen ~$700... I was a fool for renewing the lease.

When I’m working with Unix utilities like grep or doing stuff with xargs... it genuinely feels like I’m playing with legos.

I feel like this is trying to argue for more “consulting surgeons” when we need more “tooling machinists” who know how to make a good LEGO block.
