Be honest! Do you work on the weekends?

@arthurakay It definitely depends on the workload!

@fabian_maume I’d like to lay in bed if the weather is terrible, but okay 😅

@cagdas_ken_demirel Delegating is something I struggle with a lot actually! I like having responsibilities even though I may need 48 hours a day to complete them! It has been proven by so many studies that working less actually means working more, producing more quality work. So, maybe we should all try the 4-day work week trend!! Maybe you should clearly and directly point out that you don't want to be connected on the weekends. If that doesn't get people understand your intention, I don't know what will.

@software_guy Let me give some background info first: I'm a seasoned backend developer, I've tried frontend technologies and loved them! But didn't have the chance to work with them professionally as my career advanced on a different path. My 8-years old son has trouble tracking his daily routines, I built him a task tracker, which he gains points by checking off tasks. He wins badges with those points and so forth. I've built this with Dgraph (as backend), React, and Tailwind and learned many things: Discovered Dgraph, for one thing, it's amazing (already using Hasura, and found it to be a much simpler and a better fit for certain projects) and learned the basics of React and Tailwind. Since it's almost done now, I'm exploring ways for integrating BeforeSunset (soon to be launched on PH) with Slack.

@gokceno Hi, would like to know more about your pet project like what all does it include.

@gokceno @software_guy I am curious too!

@jas801 I agree! You need to refuel your mind and body by resting!

@brennen_barney That's something to work on!

@kartal_erkoc1 Getting ready for the week is something I also do on Sunday afternoons!

@qudsia_ali Did someone say work-life balance?? Great for you!!!

@tori_lazar1 It's nice to hear that you have your limits when it comes to working on the weekends!

@xgeng666 Do you give any breaks?

@gizemnurkeskin I mean usually, I spend half days for work. It depends on work load, maybe 1 full day. Rest of time, you can take a rest or stay with family.

@gizemnurkeskin I used to work in startup which is pretty busy. We have to work harder to compete with others.

@xgeng666 I know the struggle but wouldn't you say the startup world is really exciting?! I am in the same shoes right now!

@gizemnurkeskin Yes, I really enjoyed the startup working environment and pace. Think about that you have a chance to build something new from scratch based on your experience. If you work in a big company, you many only focus on very small spot. I prefer the startup. Don't think about it's struggle, think about it's a chance to build something new, to improve yourself. I used to work in Zoom as an earlier employee, right now it's Visla. Love this.

@testifi At least you try to find the balance!

@satish_kumar_veluri Thanks for being honest!! I agree!

@liz_obee since you made it work for yourself, I believe, it is great!!!

@anish_banerji Same actually!

@dan_yes If work excites you, then it's great!!

@dan_yes lol! I think work-life balance for founders (at least first-time founder who don't have much cash to hire a big team) doesn't make sense! If you really want to have that, it is better not to start a company and get a 9-5 job (just my personal opinion).
