There are a number of problems with WfH.

There's no work community or camaraderie at home. Doggo should count. Kittah jumping on the keyboard is just using you for food and grooming.

There's no grabbing lunches.

There's no visiting X down the hall.

No grabbing a beer after work.

Boss G, H, or J can't see you around.

Colleagues M, N, P, and Q don't have a sense of your performance or amount of work that happens far away. "Out of sight, ..."

Pair programming becomes less effective.

It's typing away by yourself like a writer, occasionally seeing "holograms" of other people on screens, or taking calls like you're working a call center.

How's the food?

What do you do for fun after work?

The timeline seems like an unknowable due to the nature of technological progress: discontinuous jumps that usually require discover manufacturing techniques in secret.

Not as a UFO or conspiracy theory, but as a realization that there are some technologies intentionally kept secret to maintain military, political, or economic advantages.

When that distance between in-the-pipeline reaches a magnitude delta of 2, then I'd be concerned about what's already being designed or kept in secret.

Scaling QC is a difficult, unsolved problem of manufacturing.

No one is "boring" with diversified interests. It's how to listen to others first, find common ground (human condition is easiest), and emphasize the highlights of one's own interests now and then.

If nothing done actively in work, consequences include:

Lower salary.

Fewer oppy's like management track.

Cool.

I was just thinking there ought to be an AI chat agent that can recommend music based on themes and mood, perhaps with a periodic, paradoxically-opposite sense of humor.

The very rich by ability and the very poor by inability to attain family planning, and everyone else in TX.

I maybe in a skewed population (FAANG) but women are much more aggressive here in urban areas. While I was walking downtown, a woman pulled her Mercedes over in traffic and shouted an offer at me. I thought she was hilarious and bold but not attractive enough.

In the past, this was sometimes a thing too: in 1943, my grandmother (15) decided to have my grandfather (21 - war vet at 17 by lying). Their 70-year marriage was technically illegal too.

Personal bias ftw.

Hey, we don't need any Aladdin djinns showing off their magical puppers here. Definitely against guidelines and regulations. ;)

2^(>64) combinations to put it back together. I find the empty set plus a Hackintosh seems to have fewer bits but work much faster. It must be those repairable qubits.

High status to whom? Anyone not an east-coast academic or urban professional?

I don't think journalism is widely-respected by the general population. Most local TV news anchors are an embarrassment because they to regurgitate Sinclair's "must airs" and bleeds/leads gore.
