This is the very reason I dumped Dropbox. Used to be great - I just created symlinks to all my normal data folders in the main Dropbox folder and all of those folders would then be real-time (ish) backed up to the cloud without me ever having to touch anything or move all my stuff into the Dropbox folder. Then they decided to drop support for symlinks…
This is one person’s journey through other issues like loneliness and depression, which can’t be written off. However, for the vast majority of us (me included), there are nearly unlimited benefits to WFH over going back to the office and it’s clear that benefit to both employee and employer can’t be ignored.
Edit: also, looks like this is the second Medium article posted by the same user that seems to be anti WFH so maybe agenda there?
I built a ruobo workbench for hand tool and other general woodworking tasks. Was made with all mortise and tenon joints and no fasteners, so I got to learn and practice lots of techniques (hand saw and chisel cuts, router flattening, lamination, etc).
Ow - too accurate.
As much of an information resource I think it turned out to be for many of us, it’s one of the worst places to actually ask a question for help. Toxic programmer culture just makes it a horrible place. I’ve been writing code for 25 years and the one lesson that’s easy to learn (and early on) is that there are so many folks out there that see things differently than you and approach problems with a different mindset. Sometimes the answer is plain as day to you, and others, a slam dunk is just completely out of reach but obvious to everyone else. SO as a whole needs to learn to give everyone a bit of understanding and either help the community get better or just STFU.
My absolute favorite response is what /r/madlads did - they made all of their subscribers mods.
They weren’t - they were on my file system and using symlinks in my Dropbox folder pushed them up to my DB account as well.
