Very nice! I'd recommend that the landing page either shows an example right away (the Carl Sagan one is great) or make it more obvious to take a look at one first - took me a minute to figure out what this was for, but the example made it click immediately.
Impeccable timing, I finally got around to putting some old hardware to use and getting a home assistant instance (and jellyfin, and immich, and nextcloud, ...) set up over winter break. Claude (and tailscale) saved hours of my time and enabled me to build enough momentum to get things configured. It's now feasible for me to spend 15-20 minutes knocking down homeserver tasks that I otherwise would've ignored. Quite fun!
That's a fair point! Fortunately, our company culture plays a big role here - unless folks truly don't want to take much time off, everyone seems to take about 6 weeks off. Some teams even plan entire weeks off near holidays so that everyone gets rest and work can be planned/scheduled more easily. "Unlimited" means: assuming you get your work
done and are a reasonable team player - take all the time you need (which seems to be 6 weeks, ha)
It can be a slippery slope for sure, I think it only works when the entire team buys into the notion that life is always more important than work (which can feel rare over here).
Happy to say this has been working for me and if the attitude started to change, I like to think I would speak up pretty quickly.
My first job (2018) provided 2 weeks of PTO, with an increase to 3 weeks expected after _five_ years. Folks in the U.S. can't quite comprehend having more than that (or any at all, depending on the job).
I am very grateful for my current company's "unlimited" PTO policy, it's life-changing.
Neat! Pretty cool to see the traffic "snake away" right afterward. I was a few states over in Maine and can confirm it took nearly twice as long to get home afterward - I really not sure I'll ever see that kind of traffic in those areas ever again!
