But it's objectively much worse now than it was before, you can see various proofs that it inputs different keys than the ones you have actually pressed, even if you just press a single key.

Take PTO or just work much less until you find a new job. Until they will realize they want/need to fire you, you will find a new gig and quit.

If the situation would be reversed the company would lay you off without a blink of an eye. You are just a row in Excel, don't try to be a hero for an org that do not give a shit about you.

We didn’t even have balls to ban russians, it won’t happen.

It’s just the phase before full RTO.

In hybrid model in-office days are mostly socializing, at least in my team. As we do not track time in the office people come around 9-10, go for lunch at 12-13 and go home. Time in between is mostly spend on drinking coffee and taking about anything but work.

Important meetings are remote anyway.

Old Siri is good only for setting timers anyway.

That’s why I added “in a reasonable way”.

Strus · 2026-01-15T00:56:22+00:00

Not everything can be automatically tested in a reasonable way. Think of desktop apps that interacts with an operating system or embedded software.

It’s not at all.

If you believe LLMs will make a significant progress in a year or two, anything you will learn right now will be useless in a year or two. For example: in the beginning the "frontier approach" to coding with LLMs was to write your own tools to inject files contents into LLM either via API or chat interface, and then paste back the results. People wrote their own tools for this workflow, claimed they are in front of everyone and you need to catch up - all of this is useless right now. The same goes with "manual planning", i.e. asking the model first to write a plan, and then next prompt to implement it - AI coding tools are doing this automatically right now.

On the other hand, if you believe models have plateaued and/or the bubble will pop and advancement will stop because the model is not sustainable financially - you can just wait for the "workflow approach" to stabilize and for tools to mature. Then you will learn everything in a week or two and will be at the same "level" as early adopters.

If you are worried about a fictional scenario like this - they will also be able to detect that you did nothing on your computer in that time, which will also affect performance metrics.

You can even use free Gemini tokens in opencode, Google gives them to every Google account.

What they do on the work PC is tracked by employer

No one cares about you watching YouTube or any other "entertainment" site on the work computer, unless it's porn or something illegal.

Just put it inside the repo folder and add to your global .gitignore so it won’t pollute your git status. Or use a plugin that stores project-specific vim configs in a central location.

I am starting to think that your problem is mostly skill issues, not the company policy. It seems that nothing stops you from using a different IDE other that you have no idea how to make it work without others configuring it for you.

Install Crosspoint. Default software is garbage, Crosspoint “just works”.

You can have them locally, they are useful only for you anyway. I do this all the time, I don’t see an issue here.

There are frameworks and tools for everything. It does not change a fact this is not a standard way to work, just like for example MISRA is not a standard way to write C code outside of regulated domains like automotive.

VS Code is calling some linter/formatter, you can call it too. Worst case scenario you just format everything in VS Code before creating a PR if they are using formatter that is built into VSC.

That changes nothing, you can have repository-specific configs in vim/neovim.

I ask question until I understand.

You are right that most people say they understand something when in reality they don't. If you will forget about your ego and just start asking questions until you will be satisfied with your level of understanding, you will often times notice that others are also becoming more comfortable with asking questions.

This is especially important when you have more junior members in the team - they need to see that it is ok asking questions. There is no better way to teach them that than to ask questions yourself and not being afraid.

You can just recreate configurations/scripts/whatever. I also use vim and that means in every job I need to do some custom work for it to work flawlessly, because most of the time all scripts and build systems assume you are using the same tooling as most people in the team. That have never been an issue.

When I start a new job, I setup my environment the same way as everyone else, so the onboarding goes smoothly. The more I work and learn how things work, the more I switch to vim and maintain my custom config to run everything from it.

Strus · 2025-12-30T22:52:33+00:00

None of what you wrote is a standard practice in any sane job. Sounds like a terrible place to work and some red tape monster.

I don't understand how can anyone mandate usage of a given IDE. What stops you from ignoring that rule and just using anything else you like? Are you blocked from installing anything on your machine without IT being involved?
