There’s also that period before you leave when you prepare to be away from home all day, and the period after you return home when you decompress. Most people aren’t magically relaxed after dealing with the commute home.

It used to take three hours of my waking life per day. About 18% of my weekday life. 540 hours per year. At $40/hr that’s 21k of free money to the house. FWIW I’d rather have that time to myself and family, but there’s the number.

For many, a mobile device is their sole computer, and things of importance to them are stored on it.

I found this useful. Admittedly, I don’t know much about the site though.

LibreOffice too for that matter. Kick 'em a few bucks if you can spare it.

Absolutely, and thanks for asking. Also, congrats! I’d recommend looking at credit unions (US/Canada) and higher ed. Both are non-profits and good stepping stones. Either can be a career if you don’t want a ‘stepping stone.’ Depending on how altruistic you want to be, you can find either that serve underserved communities. CUs pay better, but are more corporate and demanding. Higher ed doesn’t pay as well, but is more laid back if you can ignore politics, which there is a ridiculous amount of. I worked at a HBCU (US) for a long time, and it was pretty great. Depending on where you are, it’s usually pretty easy to find an open spot at either.

Me too, 2010ish though. I wish I could figure out how to boycott AWS. As an aged developer with a little bit of influence, I’ve steered plenty of clients, employers, and peers away, but I still use the internet. There’s no detaching from that.

Or stop making fuel artificially inexpensive?
