No, I absolutely don't and I feel that's the main point where people take offense in what I said. My question goes more in the direction of: For me personally, the communal and soc…

I work a 4 day work week and am complaining about this BECAUSE I care about the fun and meaning these 32 hours / week have, not because I want to work more or define myself through…

Thanks! And for what it's worth, I don't feel chastised that much. From personal experience of talking to a lot of friends about this, I knew where this was headed :D

I agree with your comment 100% but the closing line is ridiculously beside the point. I also really don't get how anyone reads into my post that I want to force everyone to come ba…

Nah, you're wrong there. I actually only work 4 days / week for most of the year. It's not that I am requiring my working time to fill my life with meaning, it's more that I feel t…

I think the sentence "I've met people like you" has never not been part of a shitty argument

Haha, yeah sure! How do we go about and do this?

Thanks, that is my point exactly! I was expecting the good ol' "Get some friends and stop complaining" argument here and it's completely besides the point. I am talking about group…

Honestly, I feel this is a bit of a black-and-white view that grossly oversimplifies things. And I am downright insulted by the last sentence to be frank. Blaming shitty management…

Actually something I am doing at the moment. It's definitely a huge improvement. Regardless, having a good brainstorming session in person and actually building a strong sense of c…

I did not see coming how I could offend someone this hard with that sentence. I hope it was clear that I was not speaking from my personal opinion but from the perspective (tech-) …

Definitely, and I absolutely love what I am doing. It's only that I really miss the whole communal and social aspect around it and feel few other people do.

I was kind of expecting this argument. And honestly, I don't think this is it. I see friends almost every day after work and most days during lunch. My main point was that work use…

Saying the following feels like heresy and whenever I say it, fellow software engineers look at me as if I just asked them if there are GOTOs in Javascript. I used to love going to…
