    @q3k if you also offer some accomodations you are sure to be visited mostly by former colleagues

      The follow up question is whether it is tech in general or just the management decisions of certain companies.

        @Szescstopni Not advice, just a reminder that "DSPD" is a thing. People genuinely have different preferred diurnal activity maximums.

        @riley That's right. But if you run a pub you forget there's such a thing as sleep preferences 🙂 @q3k

          @jn @domi @q3k pretty sure if I would go "screw this, I'm out", I would go into dressmaking. That was my childhood dream (shout-out to my mom's soviet-era sewing machine, that thing was a tank) until capitalism made me realize it wasn't a profitable business model

            what's the career path for someone who went into tech because it was a thing they've always enjoyed and now it paid the bills too - but now they don't enjoy it anymore? is it still to open a bar to serve a clientele of other burned out tech workers?

                        @q3k The customer I am doing the project for once mistakenly sent me an invitation for advanced forklift training. I've answered them, that I do not have basic training yet, but I'd be glad to get it.

                        To this day I regret they had not followed with an invitation for the basic training.
