    Annual cleaning of the workspace and customary sharing of the workspace picture. Recently bought a Dell Dock which has cut down the use of jugadu cables and extenders by about 40% - though it is not a 100% with the Mac ecosystem - but still better than nothing.

    Does anybody else feel the current time tracking tools out there suck big time? I feel time tracking tools should help me achieve my goals rather being a burden?

    I’ve been in talks with an Indian company about a full-time role and they have a compulsory BYOD policy. You can either use your existing device or you can tell the device that you need which would then be bought for you and the company would take instalments for it from your salary. Other than this, everything related to maintaining the system totally falls on me and the company won’t spend a dime on it. I’m very much against it as I’ll either be using my own device or “buy” a new one through them and use it for over 9 hours daily for the their work and then not even get paid to maintain it. Also, maintenance for Macbook’s are a pretty costly affair like an original charger would cost around Rs 7k, battery costs around 28k and so on. I’m planning to not go ahead with them primarily due to this policy and their data related clauses around them. What are your thoughts on this policy?

    Hello #tribe Is there a free alternative to
    krisp[dot]ai
    ? I know that Krisp is a wonderful tool, but I am not in a position to pay for its services currently. Its free version allows for 120mins/week, but I would be needing more than that.

    Tribe, A recent conversation with a team mate, we went back to the 2006-2007 time, talking of the state of the internet, the google, what was life like then etc. Reflecting back, I was a school going kid, hyper curious, always questioning, spent every week on my friends newest shiny PC playing flash games, exploring windows office (word and excel), building cars out of cardboard boxes and all that stuff. Would be fun to know the tribe, what all were you upto during this time frame.

    Tribe, is there a particular website which specifically lists jobs from South East Asian countries which offer remote opportunities for India based candidates as well? In most of the traditional job sites I have been browsing (wwr, stackoverflow, linkedin, remoteok, remotive) I see jobs posted from EU, US mostly while SEA countries are missing.

    Hey Tribe. I am looking for a Monitor. Don’t want to spend too much (around 11-12k would be sweet spot but I can go till 14-15k if it’s awesome). I do want a height adjustable stand and don’t really know enough about how to choose the monitor. Any help would be appreciated. PS - Macbook Pro user so Type C to HDMI cable recommendations also needed. 😅

    Hi Tribe, Interested in working remotely from a Villa in Goa? I am planning to book a villa on airbnb (5-7 ppl) to work out of during the month of January and February next year. Cost would be around 20-30k per room per month. Let me know if anyone from this forum is interested in joining as well. Here are some of the options that we’re considering https://www.airbnb.co.in/s/Goa--India/homes?adults=7&refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&tab_id=home_tab&ne_lat=15.633181010626503&ne_lng=73.9030563298362&sw_lat=15.357257492873917&sw_lng=73.5899459782737&zoom=12&search_by_map=true&search_type=unknown

    #tribe Under what circumstances would you be ready in sharing your current/past CTC to the potential employer? I know that revealing that takes away the bargaining power while negotiating for salary, but I want to know if there is any upside in revealing it?
