☁️What’s on my mind
I remembered my first job. I had a desktop computer and a 40 kg monitor. Working from home was virtually impossible due to the extremely poor connectivity (256 kbps at the workplace and 56 kbps at home). Laptops were the exception for the wealthy rather than the rule for business use.
Now I carry my workplace with me in my backpack. I have 150 GB of data per month on my 5G network on my mobile plan. I can work from anywhere.
This comes in especially handy now that I am still healing my Achilles tendon injury and running from physician to physiotherapist.
I am very happy to be living in 2023.
Have a really nice rest of the week,
Matic Z.
