Monzo have a lot of their support team working remotely, especially useful for them as they offer 24hr support so the shifts often vary.

I hope that one day when Qwant is big, this is cited as the first use of 'qwanting'

If you want something that doesn't require any other distractions (HTML, CSS etc) then Node.js is a good choice. How about writing a RESTful API or something else self-contained? A while ago I wrote a thing which tweets train delays in a few days https://github.com/dcrichards/gordon to try out some recent Node.js features and libraries.

This could be interesting for things like Pebble which is based on FreeRTOS, would be great to do some modifications on that level

Re:Ask HN: How would you improve Stack Overflow?

Inclined to agree with this, I totally understand trying to maintain a standard of answers and being able to quantify expertise in some way to ensure quality content, but I feel like it can be more of a hinderance than a help. Reddit is a good example, although it's often littered with poor content, there's an overall high quality of discussion amongst more focussed threads and subreddits and those with expertise and knowledge to offer are for the most part respected and drive some good discussions.
