Not even a beach can prevent a dev from working.

Here I am, six days into vacationing. My girls are playing in the pool behind me, their mother is sunbathing and absolutely rocking a golden bikini, the sun is setting on this magnificent beach and my baby boy is even asleep besides the pool noise.

And dumbshit me is here ignoring it all and frantically typing at my phone because apparently it is VERY HARD to convince your team not to let any projects get stale while you're away.

I should go somewhere without wifi next time.

    Or just ignore all the things?

    My team communicates with Slack. I completely remove Slack from my phone when on vacation and reinstall when I come back.
    The reason I even have it on my phone is to appear online even when I should be at my computer (WFH) but I’m not because I’m doing some other stuff.

    @black-kite You shouldn't be at your computer all the time in the office either. Some moving and stretching every few hours is recommended to avoid back pain issues long term. And then there is getting coffee or preparing and eating lunch.

    People should accept that most humans aren't bots.

    @Oktokolo it’s more for when I have to take off for a doctor’s appointment for example when I should’ve taken the afternoon off.
    But I’m not being dishonest because I usually catch up by working until later than usual…

    You're supposed to change your password right before the vacation so you can't remember it and are not logged in

    @https loved the way you said it.
