After 1.5 years, I tried working in office yesterday. The experience was horrible. Work conditions were inferior when compared to my home. Going to office and back home feels very inefficient and harmful to the environment.
No thanks for offices.
Here where I live (northern Europe), chimneys are always internal. Nobody would even think external chimneys. Heat loss is massive that way.
You just get much worse lords and lose all your freedoms which you may still have.
Free market democracy is not ideal system, but it offers at least some freedoms for serfs. All other systems take them all away.
And even in Northern Europe, people were outside all the time. Nowadays we sit in the dark offices in the artificial lighting.
That would ensure also diversity of staff. Very good idea.
Work results are only sensible measure for the work performance. Easy hire and fire is one solution. Also a short trial period at the start of the work agreement should show if results happen or not (fg. 4-6 months).
Twelve kids is 24/7 work.
Why I would change 8 hours to it?
It is also unethical way of life in this planet.
Or, have less people producing waste everywhere.
It is very easy to find -10x programmers, which proves that there are also 10x programmers. It depends on the reference skill level.
Finland and Russia has the most steepest border in the world if measured by the freedom of press.
If the burden is unbearable a solution is easy - he can just give everything away. Usually problems of life are not that easy to solve. This was very childish for Notch.
I am now quite happy that I failed in the Amazon recruitment process.
Their guidance said that I should prepare couple of weeks for the interview. For me they gave one weekend which I had to use for the family event. Perhaps I was not engaged enough after all.
Never trust HR in big companies. They are there to do human resource management easy for directors. Their task is to do everything for the company.
In Finland there is a collection of ancient stories or poems - Kalevala. It is something like Iliad and the Odyssey. Language of those poems is really something unique and exceptional. I have been always thinking that it is impossible to really translate it to any other languages. Probably same applies also to original greek works - we who have not studied ancient Greek, can read only bland versions of texts.
This will be the greatest art project ever about genuine finnish culture.
Almost every finnish man has lived this fantasy in the summer when he was 18. It needs also small town with girls - if you are drunk enough and your music from stereos is louder than anyone else's, they will come to back seat of your car for the drive.
Learning to code is not so hard, but learning to code well is extremely hard - almost impossible. I have been doing software development years and years also in some well known companies and I am not sure if I have yet met a good developer.
