New laptop for myself. I've spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.

Dell XPS 13 Plus, got it fully loaded but with the least amount of storage available. Immediately upgraded the NVMe to 2T and installed Linux.

Despite making a descent income, I'm weirdly averse to spending on myself. In any case, totally worth it, it's been a month and I use the machine every day.

Off the top of my head...

  • Too many layers of abstraction
  • Multiple copies of the same model (entities, domain objects, models, DTOs, etc)

Ours is a .NET6 solution, for what it's worth. The solution itself has a few flaws, so that might be tainting my opinion a bit.

Doing this is a hot take, but "clean architecture" is a joke.

My company is obsessed with it.

Oh they were very friendly. Actually in the middle of walking toward me and another person in that pic <3

I just ordered a second one a couple months from a top-tier maker and it was pretty expensive.

The first one I got back in 2008 was $1450. I don't think it's possible to get a descent one for under $3000 these days

Northeast US here. Fairly healthy competition in my area, the fiber at my home is about $50/mo

Systems Engineer/.Net Developer here. Currently have a super flexible hybrid setup. I work from the office 2-3 days a week. My commute is about 15 minutes when I decide to go to the office.

I like seeing my coworkers, using the awesome conference rooms, free snacks and coffee. Change of scene keeps me focused and motivated.

My main motivation for working where I do is that nobody gives a shit what I'm doing or where I'm working from day to day. We're all professionals working to deliver our projects on time. How we deliver is up to us.

If my boss told me I had to start coming to the office every day at some set time, I'd immediately start searching for a new job.

Yep. When RIF died, Reddit was dead to me. I refuse to give the owners of Reddit the satisfaction of me switching to their app.

I'm also slowly pushing myself from Twitter to Mastodon. Hoping more of the accounts I follow on Twitter make the switch too.
