Very interesting. It would be a great idea to pass on the benefits of renewables to consumers. It really makes no sense to base the energy price on the price of fuel in countries where most energy is generated from renewables like the southern European countries. It just benefits the companies. Even if it helps build more of those renewables at this point people need to see the advantages on their energy bills.

Also I think more encouragement/incentives for self production would really help people feel more involved in the transition. By allowing them go have a sense that energy does not magically appear from the air. This of course will need some grid improvements but would increase energy autonomy, reliance and a sense of local power to populations.

Is it? Maybe both? A movement against climate change makes sense? A movement for climate change in the sense of raising the issue could also make sense? What a funny language

My clothes last me an unusual amount of time when compared with most people I think (15 year old tshirts) and don't really buy clothes at all unless something is at the limit of repairability or looking very bad.

I want to ride my bike more. I work from home so I use it mostly to go the gym but I want to use for more things. Like shopping and stuff like that. I'm thinking of buying an electric one to help out since I live in a city with steep hills and an electric one would make it more likely to use.

Good analysis, there are a few things that I think area bit opinionated and there is nothing wrong with that, I just don't agree with a few things out of context. For example I agree that code on main should be buildable and testable. Code in your own branch should be for yourself and should still have commits. Also lazygit really abstracts a huge chunk of git logic while making it easier to understand.

I'm with you on that. I feel like open source is the best possible way to security audit and test issues. As any issue will be out there to see, most proprietary code ends ups being years of duct tape which wouldn't fly if a large community of different backgrounds took a look at the code

I mean in defense of the other person. It sounds more like the argument is trying to encourage a bigger action. Like don't just do your part, vote/participate for what actually changes things in a larger scale.

I'll counter that with the community being the people you want it to be and not the forced work place culture. You can have the same community for years while changing jobs in the meantime. I don't understand your argument regarding cars. Fully remote allows one to orchestrate his own live to never have to drive. If you have no commute and you have access to things near you, why would you drive? I understand that it depends on the person and live conditions. But from strictly flexibility perspective you are more able to decide how you live than the alternative.

Me too. Currently I do find that I have a minimal relationship with my current team which isn't the end of the world but at one point I had a team that I never met in person that was the best team I ever had and I was only there 6 months. I think like with in person relationships the person's involved matter a lot. Also the will that most of team has to make an effort to know each other.

I agree with the aspect of losing human connection which I think is the greatest downside. Did you ever considered sharing your space with a friend or someone you know that's also a remote worker to provide at least a source of companionship? I'm not saying daily but weekly or biweekly. I do that with my brother and sometimes friends and it helps a lot. And it creates a kinda of community even though we work for different companies.

Why do think you tend to work longer hours? I never had that that issue but I feel is very related to the work itself.

What's your book name? And where can I get it? Where did you move to?

Very cool! I'm mostly excited to see the boom of the solar energy industry. Not just for selling but also for personal use. Feel like a whole new thing is coming that somehow not tainted by another industry hidden interests
