As much as I'd like to, testing and filling batteries, repairing cables, motors, drives, feeders is a whee bit difficult remotely. Maybe I'd be able to fix a plc remotely but I'd have to get someone to go plug it in as there is NO Way I would be allowed to have stuff connected to a chemical process face the Internet, even vpn. Besides it will be more kak than what it's worth as it will be a case of "oh, plc sees no input on 1, get there, hardware fail . Dankie tog no kapow
 
Hybrid. WFH 3 days WFO 2 days.

Best of both worlds. I've learnt that sometimes the odd face to face chit chat with colleagues helps with collaboration and morale/relationships.

So you use a laptop to how does it work?

:ROFL: To be fair, there are many high valued companies (in USD) who don't even have an office.

Work from home. Worked in corporate environments for a number of years and to be honest most meetings could've been a 3 line email. That said, been working from home since before covid was a thing so I've experienced the long term cons of being at home all the time. It's not necessarily always pretty unless you've got the environment and tools to make it a success. In an ideal world, I'd go to the "office" once a month at most. That would be just to have a couple of beers and build relations. Not strictly for work per se. Right now, I can go from working, to fixing something around the house, to going fishing, to working again, to hanging out with the family, to working again. All without having to start a car. That in itself is priceless for productivity.

On this point, I told one of the corporates I worked for (in my younger days) that their laptops are kak and I'm bringing a desktop to the office. When they told me I can't do that, I told them either this or I'm finding a new job. Can proudly say I was the envy of many and still worked there for quite some time. For your own ship, you bear the oar. Life is yours to determine.

Modern laptops are generally a lot better, I'm talking about 9th gen 45W when it started getting good enough (hex cores), and now the 11th gen 25W is also "fine" for large code bases. Ryzen the 5700U is also good, haven't used one yet though sadly.
Issue is a lot of companies give crap i3/i5 turbo to 15W stuff, that's completely useless if every time I do a find usages I have to wait, or auto complete causes lag, etc.
Also helps the SQL code bases are in Azure/on-premises, not on the laptop, only thing running there is IDE and specific app working on, rest is hosted elsewhere.
 
I prefer working at work... I'm strictly productive there. Otherwise my work is practical...
 
4 Days at home, 1 day at the office, can be any 1 day in the week. Prefer Home, cant deal with po3s drivers.
 
Work from Home
1. All meetings are in MS Teams (Whats the point of sitting in an office)
2. No Traffic besides dogeing the cat when walking to the study (Very grumpy when sitting in traffic for 1.5 hrs to get to the office and only driving 30km)
3. House is nice and quiet, Office is noisy as the bar during a Sprinkboks game
