I think this is a misconception brought by the COVID19 times when remote work went mainstream because of lockdowns. And now there is a big expectation for work to be remote. Just started look for a remote job, I see the same percentage of remote-first or remote-friendly companies as before. Which is a small percent, but not zero.
On the opposite - the hybrid work became more normalized this days.
On many occasions I found it annoying that auth cookies expire after a day or less. And the most confusing thing for me is that it doesn't work well with 1Password, so I had to type my passwords like a caveman.
I solved it in few ways:
* I added common rooms to the bookmarks so I can quickly host them
* I added another user for my partner so she can host meetings too.
* Since it's open source, I changed the code so that auth cookies stay active for 30 days, instead of 1 day.
* Just this morning I've been exploring mobile version of Jitsi meet, where you can click on room name in 'Recents' and join quicker. This is a win for non-technical members of our family.
Jitsi instance is working all the time and ready to connect 24/7.

I'm a generalist software engineer with 15+ years of experience of building tech products. I did lots of FrontEnd, Backend and DevOps work through out my career. From solution discovery to the release and deployment.
Last 11 years I was working at a startup which had great engineering culture and I got to wear lots and lots of hats.
Seasoned with remote work, I prefer to go the office often.
A shining city on a hill. Both as an ideal to aspire to, and a warning that the world's eyes are on you, and if you fail, you will fail out loud
I moved to San Francisco about 5 years ago. I can tell you, it was all WORTH IT! I'm still amazed by the city and the life around me. 5 years later it still impresses me. I feel like I'm living in a movie, and I'm a main character in a movie! I became a better version of myself. I can't imagine being myself if I'd stay back in my country.
p.s. those are my feelings. Obviously life around me is not ideal. There is no such place as ideal, but it works for me despite many-many-many problems that I have in my life right now.
2 can be as bad as 1
It's the loneliest number since the number 1
I mean AI did all the work for me with some minimal guidance. All and all it took about 3 hours to do with PaaS hosting
Using Claude Code and OP's library, I've put it on the internets. Web hosting is cheap(free) and generation takes some time
Also RIP my dreams about apple doing networking hardware like AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, XServe etc. It was a great time in 2000s
I was skeptical about this scenario until one day Gmail lost 1 year worth of my emails. It's just gone. All other emails are there, but not this particular year. And there is no person who you can call to talk about that.
Let's see if HN admins will allow it. File will be deleted in 6 days
