Amazon CEO is calling for 5 days a week in office, starting January 2nd.

They didn’t do that for the past 3 years. They hired 15% more in 2023.

My team and managers have been awesome with respecting my time. It’s ironic that Jassy wants to “operate like a startup” but won’t trust his management to make the best decisions so we work quickly.

Fuck… I was doing coffee badging recently. 5 days is a lot to just drive to the office and back. I need to look for other dev jobs in Seattle that actually respect their employees, but the market is gonna be so cold after this announcement.

I have until January 2nd apparently.

At least they still haven’t said a minimum time in the office yet…

That really sucks. I hope you’re doing better now.

Soooo. I’m dumb. I host my overseerr on my domain that just routes to my local IP for my local desktop. How do I get email on this domain without spending dumb money on an email hosting server?

I’ll do fun work events if they’re during work time. You’re telling me I don’t have to work and get to have fun? Sure!

We played laser tag once during a Friday instead of working. It was blast.

If you are the only one playing the PlayStation, you can do remote play via the computer, phone ,or even from a PS4.

You were $100 off.

My wife’s engagement ring was custom made! It is a key blade with the kingdom hearts logo on the front, with tiny tiny diamonds on the hearts and 3 small sapphires in the little crown on the heart. I tried to get moissanite, but because the diamonds are so small, they said they don’t make moissanite that small, and it would save fractions of a dollar.

It cost me less than half a semester’s tuition in college, so not super expensive like the “3 months salary” bullcrap.

In fact, I had to go through two jewelers for this because when I was pitching the concept to the first one, they saw the Disney logo on the key blade and refused to do it. I just clipped that out when I went to another shop.
