Five for Friday – April 23, 2021

Kind of a lot going on in the world of the Weasel this week, but I found a few things worth sharing.

  • This came out well before FfF was a thing, but apparently my boss recently listened to this interview with me from ~6 years ago. I’m moving to a new manager at Unity, so figured I should post this for posterity soon.
  • A month or two ago, I posted an article from inkommon.com with the results of a study of working from home during the pandemic. They published a follow up this week, which is equally as interesting.

  • I’m now running Hirsute Hippo (Ubuntu 21.04), and so far, all is working quite well. Someday I’m sure I’ll use a different distro, but for now, it’s been great.
