god this is written so poorly it's hard to follow

"nauseous"

well that's a little dramatic

Sorry but is it really a monopoly when the reason you're a "monopoly" is that your products are just plain better than the competition?

Well, maybe they are better because competition doesn't stand a chance due to anti-competitive practices?

why

> I built something similar - A set of scripts that generate SQL statements from typescript types to wrap a PostgresSql db.

If you think these are similar I don't think you understand what this is / what it's actually doing.

Yes, I only meant similar in the sense that it attempts to use typescript types as the primary source for the definition of the database schema.

I agree my wording could have been better.

I have personally saved _thousands_ of dollars in addition to hours of my life not having to commute.

There's an element of seriousness in your sarcastic comment for more than just companies.

The hours of your life saved not commuting will instead be used to work. Think of the savings, seriously, not even sarcasm.

How? I start and finish at exactly the same time as in office and after hours I am not contactable other than a phone call which has never happened.

On if you let yourself be taken advantage of.

your effective hourly rate just dropped, yep.

Y'all need to log off at 8 hours worked. I used to work 8:30 - 4:30 (read: get up at 7, shower, bus at 8, in work at 8:30). Now I work 7 - 3 most days (literally roll out of bed and sit down at my desk). If I'm tired, I'll snooze my alarm for an hour and work 8 - 4. My life is significantly better working from home.

And I have spent many thousands more renting more space for my WFH office (upgrading our 1bdr) that normally my work would be paying for

for you, maybe.
