    Meh. I treat my home dir as a scratch space and symlink important things to version controlled and synced subdirs. Too many things come and go to justify a git workflow to me. And …

    I’d say negotiate away that clause or find another job. Company owning all IP outside work for the duration of employment is in my opinion a red flag. I’d not be surprised to learn…

    No. Close the chat app if you don't want to be interrupted. Don’t impose your personal communication preferences to others. There are far to many languages, cultures and personalit…
