Same here. It's my only Windows machine and the only one that reliably prints some PDFs. If they cared that I'm printing out MLP RPG sheets to play with my daughter I'll have that conversation.

I Never have work email on any other device but works.

I'd forgotten all about this and used it for something once but I can't remember what now, but I liked it.

I'm all in on prettifying... If it's done automatically. I find it such a good tradeoff to not have to think about it that I'm happy to accept the times when I think my discretion would do it better.

That said, I've started to develop strong views on some eslint rules. Usually around things being errors that should be warnings in development, like logging messages or debugger or unused variables. I like to run in CI with max warnings being zero to catch them then.

Is opening the computer a possibility?

It's under the desk, hidden away.

I'm excited to try this. I've tried xstate many times and always struggled with the typescript, if this Just Works I'll be v happy

We're constantly working on improving the TypeScript experience with XState; there are some new things like `createModel()` that might help!

Actions defined in options are the killer for me at the minute (and guards, but actions are more important generally). I've had to resort to using enums (+ type guards + coercions) for everything. Have you any idea on if/when can get these in the model API? At the minute the API is nice, but not particularly useful with only context & events. The type gen library seems to be a sticking plaster more than anything else: it's clever, but building an NPM package on the fly seems super fiddly (and flat out doesn't work with newer Yarn setups), so movement forward on inference without it would be great

Oooh createmodel is new to me - will check it out!

Oh, I need to try that too!

I've listened to some of the podcast and it is really good, even in the car where you're highly unlikely to have devtools open.

Same here, a happy customer.

I don't think 'the game' refers to video games here.

I know that. What I'm saying is not to take things lightly and for granted.

Tea and coffee ought to be a baseline in any office environment imo. I think it'd be worth it for companies to just pay for it, otherwise employees set up a tea club, spend work time doing it and fall out over it.

Terence McKenna used to remind people that tea and coffee benefit an employer more than an employee - it's not a break to rest, it's an employer encouraged chemical stimulant to make you work harder. As an employee, you're hyped to work harder - which isn't necessarily a benefit to you at all.

That companies have then reframed it as an "employee perk" is a very slick PR move.

I agree with the idea that many employee perks are actually detrimental to employees. But this one is pretty 50/50. I'm going to drink two cups of coffee every day no matter what, so employer-provided coffee benefits me. After-hours coffee I agree with.

If the company puts too much emphasis on the free coffee they provide, it's a red flag. It means you will need it.

I've often thought that instead of an expensive coffee machine, ping pong table or playstation, I'd like a tea lady (or tea person as they would/should be called now)

My previous company put emphasis on the free coffee, but it was a pretty chill place to work at.

Good point!

I was thinking of it more as the human right to a cup of tea (not meaning to belittle real human rights struggles)

Interesting, there's no tea/coffee club at my office - my company doesn't provide tea/coffee/beverages, but does provide keurig machines. People either bring in their own coffee machines/coffee/french presses or they bring in their own k-pods. I am perfectly fine with it myself.

I used to work with someone who had been a manager in 80s Britain (high unemployment) and he said they threw any applicable in a brown envelope in the bin.

It wasn't about skills or experience or culture fit, but about getting the hiring done in a sane amount of time.
