Environmentally friendly2007-09-20 01:31:37 PM delphi230 I'm much happier since I have stopped going to work. I have an office at home with a bunch of computers and a decent internet connection. In the last few weeks, I have needed to be on-site at a customer's HQ, which requires a 40 minute drive (or a bit less if I take the motorbike). With any luck, this will change. In this bright new future, I can not see the point in having to be physically present anywhere. I've been sharing code with others by using a decent source code control system, a lot of snarky skype messages, and email. There have been a couple of recent occasions when my presence has been required thousands of miles away, and I have had to catch a plane, but these are rare. Mostly, I can do my job by just rolling out of bed, and taking the stairs down to the office. Sometimes I will even shave and put clothes on. Am I in a minority? Do you drive to work? Do you need to drive to work? What would change if you didn't need to use a car to get to work? I reckon that the whole programming community is the best place to look at different ways of avoiding using cars to get to work. (Maybe not the VB(Visual Basic) people since they're stuck with making the computer itself use excess energy just to figure out what it can do very slowly). If you need to travel to work, I recommend a motorbike (and a Ducati will always produce a smile). Scout |
