One of the 4 day week pioneers! And thanks for the shoutout Andrew

Ye, agreed - this has been annoying me for a while

Added to my todo list

For companies offering 4 day week jobs in Europe @ full salary, try: https://4dayweek.io/remote-jobs/europe

There are currently ~100 companies on the platform atm but I have a backlog of new companies to add and see more companies every day

And @HN, if your company is open to 4 days @ 80% salary, please get in touch :)

I have repetitive strain injury in my hands which made it difficult to play online poker (it's a lot of mouse moving and clicking i.e. folding)

So I created a script which took a screenshot every 100ms, it scanned the image and checked the cards I had.

If the cards were bad (e.g 2h7s), it clicked "fold" for me automatically

Thanks for the shoutout :)

"In practice this means maintaining a 38-hour working week, with an additional day off compensating for longer work days."

Unfortunately it's a compressed 4 day week, instead of a "proper" 4 day work week (i.e. 4 x 8 hour days, e.g. https://4dayweek.io)

A step in the right direction however

There's actually quite a few game studios with a 4 day work week now:

It seems like they are pioneering the movement

I've been slowly adding them to https://4dayweek.io/

I've been running https://4dayweek.io for the last year, so I'd definitely be interested

As for the benefits for a 4 day week:

https://4dayweek.io/post-a-job (I really need to move this to a separate page...)

Not that usual but getting more common thankfully. I wrote about this here, check the graphs half way down:

https://4dayweek.io/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-4-day-wor...

I too still find it weird why more companies don't offer at least a 4 day week @ 80% salary

Aside from the technology, intellect & stability, I think a lot of people simply want to work less

I may be living in a bubble (I've been building https://4dayweek.io) but for me and those around me, the main attraction is a better work-life balance, then technology etc

Very nice, never too late to pivot

p.s. you could also add FanDuel to the list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FanDuel#History

Thanks for the shoutout :)

My productivity app has been pen + A5 paper pad

Advantages:

- Instant availability (no need to load up an app)

- Works offline

- I can't access it when I'm not at work (feature, not a bug)

- I can draw as well as write

- It's satisfying to tick items off

I wrote about this recently

This is irrelevant imo

A shorter week → More rested employees → Higher productivity → Similar output

Ah damn, ye it's mostly software jobs atm - but I've got plans to extend this. Will get in touch when this goes live :)

This is awesome, congrats on making the leap! I'll be adding any of your jobs to https://4dayweek.io :)

I'd say its definitely within our grasp. It's a longterm trend which has only been accelerated by COVID

Plus there are now many companies offering this benefit, which is one of the most powerful hiring selling points for companies who cannot compete with FAANG salaries:

Thanks for the shoutout Koch! Appreciated :)

Loads of companies are already offering this, with more switching almost every week

https://4dayweek.io/companies

Usually there is no drop in salary

i.e. most of these companies previously worked 5 days per week and then switched to a 4 day week without loss in salary

Founder here :) Thanks for the submission!

There are now 50 companies with a 4 day work week in the database but I'm finding more and more each day so check back soon, I have more to add

This is fantastic progress, great to see

16x smaller = 41.5GB though

More research needs to be undertaken in model compression imo

Cool project!

Would be interesting to see a metric on "average temperature change since 1960" to see which places have been hit hardest by climate change

Saying the planet has increased in temperature by 1.5 degree doesn't mean much - but if a city has increased in temperature by 5 degrees, I think that makes it feel much more "real"

Compared to the salary the company offered before they switched to a 4 day work week

Me too - but there are now companies offering a 4 day week with 0% drop in salary
