> 2) No client-side scripts If your website cannot be viewed properly with Javascript disabled, it is broken.

Completely disagree with this one. The web has evolved into a landscape that exceeds its original intended use. It's not just about semantic documents any more - its community, interaction, and more in the most portable format we've ever seen.

The web has taken on a life of its own, beyond what it was initially designed for.

lfender6445··on To Raise Productivity, Let More Employees Work from Home (2014)
Yep - not always the case for me, and it changes quite frequently. Sometimes i'll have a heavy week sometimes not

its also worth considering that wfh also provides low pressure environment - slow and steady wins the race.

lfender6445··on To Raise Productivity, Let More Employees Work from Home (2014)
3 years WFH - I could never go back. Flexible core hours make handling daily life chores a breeze (normal life stuff, doctors appointments, etc) and so long as you get your work done, the company doesn't bat an eye.

If I need to I split up the day and in many cases this ends up working out for the company, as I'll have done more work than I needed to even sometimes working the weekends (which most people say to avoid for obvious reasons, but it doesnt bother me).

It also helps when you love what you do - software is passion and career for me. The ability to work remotely allows me to explore things like programming in creative capacity , wfh provides distraction free environment which in the end leads to more creative well rounded employees.

lfender6445··on To Raise Productivity, Let More Employees Work from Home (2014)
To me, this speaks bigger to your work culture and processess es - what tools were you using to host meetings and have conversations verbally?

Assuming the right toolset, having a strong voice and impaact in a company is not impossible from a remote position.

Yes, there is real value to face time, and I agree with you on some level - but only given the proper tools and a company that respects them. Given your example, it sounds like you didn't get the attention you deserved.

lfender6445··on Ask HN: How do you deal with professional jealousy and getting older?
beautiful
lfender6445··on Ask HN: How do you deal with professional jealousy and getting older?
Great work is great work, regardless of age. I am 27 and still find time to work on personal projects that give me a creative buzz, but its for me and me only.

It sounds like you have developed an irrational fear around the concept of ageism. The less you worry about what others think the more productive and creative you will be.

Python skins can be sold, but Novak recommends against eating the meat. Research found some pythons in the Everglades contained high levels of mercury, she said

this could also be a great way to employ and feed people in need if they weren't averse to the idea.
