Came to say the same. Work from home, permanent remote. I moved out to acreage in the middle of the forest to raise my family. Pretty dang happy, with good pay, especially for the area.
It can be stressful, but like, the fun stressful. Like a really hard puzzle that you feel great after figuring out. And then I just go outside and walk around my property when I need a break.
I've been advancing slowly. Manager asked if I wanted to manage people, naw dog, that's not me. But slowly they've been putting me as lead on projects with others assigned to it also. It's leading but not managing, still comes with pay raises so whatever, maybe I will manage one day.
Yeah, I use it daily for coding. It's a force multiplier. It basically makes me 2 - 3x more effective. My company laid off all our junior engineers and is not hiring juniors any longer.
And that there's no carrot on a stick, no incentive you can lie about that you're rehabilitating these folks. There is absolutely no rehabilitation for people this far gone. They are nothing but a behemoth of a burden.
I'm talking about camera arrays, like the one in the comic. Do you see the picture above these comments? That's the context. The context of our current conversation.
If you want to have a conversation about your personal phone, maybe take a picture of it and see if anyone wants to talk about it, but honestly I think folks would just think that's strange.
Jokes aside, camera arrays are actually an excellent way to improve image capture while maintaining a small form factor. There's a reason many bugs have many eyes. It's more reliant of software to resolve the image, but it allows more information to come in without increasing the lens size.
I can hear this.
