I mean at least the jobs that interest me often are also (full) remote, but I’m mostly interested in start-ups, they seem to be more open with it (and the job descriptions sound more interesting). I think Covid did its job there, unlike it seems for big tech?

I mean I can just take a job in the states, they pay quite a bit more there compared to Europe, and it can be even more targeted in the area of my interest (low-level stuff in Rust which pays even better than what I can find here)… Locally the jobs are pretty limited (at least those that interest me)… Everyone wants Java/C# or JS devs here (all languages I’ll try to avoid, and I suspect it has to do with maintaining old (tech-debt) code-bases which I try to avoid even more)… But I’m quite happy with my team currently and just have rant about JS everyday, but at least don’t have to maintain tech-debt (at least not something that I haven’t produced myself^^)… And I get great food for free… Hmm trade-offs.

My fear of working full-remote. I mean I got enough friends, but still that’s significant less social time, when not being in something like a coworking space… Although other benefits are really tempting (like 2 to 3 times the salary)

I’m happy when it just takes that amount of time, because everything else is just a waste of time…

Actually that’s one of the few cases, where a (distributed/decentralized) blockchain really makes sense (trustless ledger which can be used for incorruptible/transparent political systems)…

Ignoring all the buzzword bingo and hype.

Less consumerism, more focus on real social aspects:

• Macro: robust (decentralized) political system, that’s not easily corruptible, e.g. via something like blockchain
• Micro: more focus on direct interaction with other people, not via something like a screen, as another post here already said, we’re harming ourselves (promote psychiatric issues etc.) with the current state of technology (smartphone overuse). We have gone much less social (direct interaction with others) because of this I’m sure of.

This! I feel it myself, my ADHD was much better when I stayed in a relatively natural setting with only little technology. for a few weeks (I did some programming there though, and boy was I focused in complex problems without medication etc. had one of my best coding sessions there I think). I’m pretty sure that a lot of ADHD but also other psychiatric issues like autism or social anxiety etc. that is diagnosed these days is because of all this unhealthy environment we have created. Or in other words, our modern technology promotes psychiatric issues such as ADHD, autism, social anxiety etc.
