I've done vacation travel before. Worked out well as we were able to take a longer trip and relax a bit more (traveling with two kids under 2 can be stressful). I only ended up taking 3 days vacation on a two week trip.

I have two kids and have worked remotely since before they were born.

1. Try to take as much parental leave as possible initially. The baby stages are so much fun and no matter how much time you spend with them before going back to work, you'll wish there was more.

2. Don't expect to be able to watch your child and work simultaneously. I have done it in limited fashion (kid is sick/daycare closed etc) and it can be very hard. This mainly goes for the younger years (< 5).

3. When you travel, dedicate time to Skype/Facetime with your child.

Congrats on becoming a parent! It's seriously a blast and I wish you and your wife the best of luck!

The 100% remote company I work for is based in Chicago and pays Chicago market rate for all positions regardless of where you live (I live in South Dakota). I find that it's generally fair and a plus to both the company and the employee this way.

You must be insufferable to be around.

Here's a novel idea, how about instead of directly resorting to "Your code sucks." we instead say something like "I think there's still some work to do here. Here's the way I would have done this." It's really not that hard to give constructive criticism.

If you think that nice people can't tell you how they really feel without being abusive then you're delusional.

There's generally a decent number of non SV or remote positions in the thread. Obviously it's biased heavily in SV's favor, but each month it seems like there's more remote opportunities.

Interestingly enough, Dakota State University in Madison, SD has a consistently very highly-ranked cybersecurity program.

Oh this is easy:

1. Go back in time and don't go to college

2. Get roommates

3. Don't have internet. Ration electricity.

4. Sell your car and steal a bike.

5. Don't eat.

and finally, move to Montana where your dollar goes further. This all seems to be relatively in the ballpark of what's commonly suggested when people on here rightly complain about CoL.

I just tried it and am completely floored. It worked wonderfully. Just some expected mouse input lag. Otherwise smooth as butter.

I have gigabit fiber so that might help a little with the overall experience but I'd be willing to pay a good amount of money for this as a service.

I'm a software developer in my mid-20s and I subscribe to and regularly watch videos on YouTube. It's probably in the top 10 most visited sites for me.

I mainly subscribe to woodworking and programming channels. It's generally something where I'm hoping to learn new skills and techniques, and for that, YouTube is incredible.

I also purchased my first home last year (100 years old) and channels like This Old House have been incredibly helpful with many maintenance tasks.

I've worked with both a partially remote team and now currently with an entirely remote company (~50 employees).

I find it best to assume that everyone is remote at all times. My experience with the partially remote team was that people in-office would talk face-to-face more often and then would not relay effectively to the rest of the team.

There's still the problem of phone calls having the same effect but we use Slack and Google Docs often enough that most of our conversations are there for everyone to see/search.

Be sure to ask the team what is working for them and if they have any preferences. I find it best for everyone to be up front about these kinds of initiatives. Something that's a minor annoyance can grow into a real problem down the road. Best to lay everything out early and discuss as a unit.

Best of luck! Working remotely is extremely liberating.

I'm always amazed at just how much the Unreal team accomplishes in a release cycle.

Keep up the great work!

200 years in the grand scheme of human evolution is nothing.

From personal experience this is true.

I worked semi-remotely for a mid-sized company with ~100 IT/developers and those that were working from home were less-involved from a workplace perspective.

I now work for a small company (< 60 employees) that's entirely remote and it works wonderfully. Everyone is on a level playing field and all processes are designed to support it.

I think I've spent more money on Rifftrax and MST3K than anything else in the last 9 years.

I'm currently working remotely and found many good positions on stackoverflow's jobs page.

It does not. Just tried it. Displays as a static image, even when you open it in the chat window.

Are you asking about watching children while you work?

I would imagine most would go to daycare during the work week (our 1 year old does on days when my wife works).

But you could make colorblind-friendly color schemes available through plugins instead of making a slightly more confusing option default.

It's turned on tomorrow.

Note: This is from Oct '14

Anything particular about taxes that sucks for you?

Are you working for yourself or remote for a company?

I'm about 5 months into a remote job for a health company and I love it so far.

What was the medicine that ended up helping your migraines?

I suffer from migraines semi-regularly and have at separate times taken Maxalt, Imitrex, or generic OTC migraine meds + caffeine.

You can get single machined parts with a free automated quote from Proto Labs (www.protolabs.com)

They have manufacturing facilities in the UK that ship to Germany.

I think you've posted this in the wrong post. This is the Who Wants to be Hired post.

Very cool. The best projects aren't the ones that are ultra-complex, but the ones that generally interest those who make it. Keep it up!

Considering the author is 16, I think it's a great write up/exercise.

Newer form factor. Newer port. Newer keyboard. Newer battery tech. Lots of new things to the Macbook line.
