  • A friend of mine had a job where she worked remotely most of the time. She would never interact with any other of her colleagues unless if she went offline on Slack for too long or didn’t get her work done. She managed to make some pretty nifty Selenium scripts to do the whole thing for her and delayed it to her usual working speed. I’m pretty sure she spent most of her time working there playing OSRS instead and I think she did actually go away on an extended holiday too.










  • I’d love a UK based version for the major chains.

    I refuse to shop at Sainsbury’s since they started having gates where yoy physically have to scan your receipt to leave. They have also started doing nectar card prices where they charge more if you don’t want them to track you. Tesco does the same. I’m not sure about Morrisons and Asda. Waitrose just costs more no matter what.









  • I had a job like that and powershell was a godsend. I let it slip when I accidentally set the multiplier for the delay randomiser too low and it did a months work in a morning. I ended up writing a guide for the others there when I left but sadly everyone but me had computers that supported newer versions of Windows where the scripts ended up broken. They asked me to come back and update it the Monday after I left. I asked if they would pay me to do it. They said no. Then I said no.
