I enjoyed all the 90% of pros for the first 1.5 years. Then my personality seemed to have changed over, after a bout of Covid. So I now enjoy a hybrid model, with some meticulous commute planning. I live close by, but it still takes me 30 minutes overall. However, I tune out all the traffic and enjoy self-reflection.

Pros and Cons:

  • Picking up my kid is the only one pro I seem to like anymore.
  • I stopped having my regular walks, so I try to go at least 2 days per week.
  • Another short term con โ€” Pushed myself to be more and more independent, making it difficult to survive in Agile software development. In the long term, this is turning out to be a pro, since I am working on my cloud and devops skills. The $company might push me out since I reject these Agile kind of roles, but it might end up helping me.
  • I have become more and more reclusive, isolated and lonely, so I go to the workplace to walk a bit, commune and retain sanity.
