Depends on the company size and location. I'm on a small dev team but we service the entire company (national). As a result, any product we put out has a huge potential. Last year, I put out a product and spent this year marketing it and improving it for the users. In just about a year, it's become the most adopted product in our company and really changed the workflow for our end users.

Writing code in a comfy office versus someone doing brain numbing manual work on their feet means most devs would hit that day 1.
But how will the rich people afford more submarines to commit suicide in?
Marketing. We put a person on the moon because we were scared of the space race, and then we spent the next 50 years figuring out how to make rich people richer by manipulating human behavior and gamifying everything so you buy into the buy more stuff you don't need and click more stuff you don't care about. We've gotten so good at it, we only need a 10 second short to advertise stuff to you.
This affects everything we do down to its core and will likely be the cause of astronomical ADHD rates in the future.
I traveled for a year with a group of 50 remote workers. By the end of the year, we had about 25 remote workers and 25 people running off their savings accounts. Two big things.

Life abroad can be relatively cheap, we were able to get housing, office space, and air travel for under $2k a month, which is cheaper than I was paying for my apt in the US.

When you live in a different time zone like in Europe, but work US hours, you get those extra hours to do fun stuff. I typically started work around 4pm and worked until 12am, meaning I could wake up late, go take a 1 hour walking tour of the city, try out some of the restaurants and still be back for my morning meeting.
This also means that evening exhaustion only applies to your work rather than your fun and no one ever says they wished they had worked harder on their death bed...
Guess we should stop funding Israel too huh?
Are the meta users already bleeding into the fediverse? Go back to meta and enjoy your anti human echo chamber.
Is actually love to see a survey of different age groups and see how much they care about this, but this sort of feedback is neither constructive nor useful.
I swapped my comments to fuck you spez and just left them there. It's funny how many automod responses you get, which all shit in spez as well. 🫡 Enjoy the migration.
Which is why it can be disabled.. but at the same time you can understand there are others that want that sound. The whole point of this car is options. It has a fuck ton of options.
I work in the assisted living field. There's frequently 1 nurse tending 40+ beds for 8 hours. If the next nurse is late, that's 1 nurse for 8+ hours until the next one shows. You can bet your ass that nurse isn't providing high quality medical advice 12 hours into a shift. An ai can take a non partial perspective and output a baseline level of advice to help the wheels moving.
We'd just need the largest migrated lemmy community to do it.
