I'm making a tool for teachers to create realistic and motivational AI portraits for their students to go with "when I grow up" essays (https://agelens.com). I was not satisfied with shitty looking AI-aging tools that were on the market, and decided to make a one that looks awesome and inspiring.
After 13 years of remote work and nomadic living, I retired from tech at 32 and chose Thailand as my base. I've been a major contributor to Ghost, one of the largest open-source projects on GitHub. Saving 80% of my income over the last 13 years allowed me to FIRE early.
My journey went from debugging code to mastering BJJ and riding waves. Now, instead of pull requests, I'm pulling armbars, writing, and surfing in tropical waters.
I've been a part of /now movement for a few years. Yes, remembering to update the page is a problem. I've set up a calendar event once a month to finally get ahold of the stale content.
Guys being guys trying all the ways to meet girls that are not present in their "engineering majors". Nothing new here. TBF, somewhat applaud the creativity.
At the same time totally understand the unpleasant atmosphere this behavior creates.
I would argue this is a "soft redundancy" for non US-based teams. There would be salary adjustments for sure, but even that rarely makes a convincing argument to uproot your whole life and move countries.
Dream life! How did you go about negotiating 4-day week at a startup? From experience sturtups have been a "6 days in a 5-day week grind". Seeing a 4-day week is refreshing!
I just made it clear from the beginning that that was what I was looking for. They had no issue with it.
It does feel like 5 days in a 4-day grind sometimes, but at least I get the time to indie hack.
I did a 4 day week experiment couple years back. I used the leave time to book every Friday through upcoming four months. I loved the experiment a lot. It's not only an extra day you get (50% increase in free time) but also an extra night (100% increase!). Saturdays sometimes felt like "Sundays" and it was good to remind myself there's a whole extra day to live life.
When I asked to make 4-day week a thing, at least for me, the request was rejected. The reasoning had to do with "synergy" in a team and lack of much overlap in a remote team. Example I was given: if everyone started taking 4-day weeks it might be that Bob has Mondays off, Kate is off on Wednesday, and I would be out on Friday. Fair enough.
We are trialing a longer (2-3 moths at a time)time offs. Hopefully the experiment sticks. Having loads of free time is the best!

Alternative framing: encourages good communication and high bus factor.
A cool thing about Neptune is the technology wasn't property tested for the prime time before and is relatively fresh technology! Ukrainian forces had used them successfully and have proven the high precision weapon know-how is still going strong in the country.
