This is the best answer, but even if you didnt want to go through this trouble... just create a new repo in git, lock down svn and assume from that day on, if you need to see older history, go look in svn. Over time the need to look at svn for history will dwindle.

They make security devices which is essentially a collar on each side with steel cables between. Makes it virtually impossible to cut it off. It instead requires you to first take off the device then cut off the cat. This problem of cat thefts have been a problem in the us for a long time.

We have 1 primary office and then a couple of smaller offices in different states.

I generally live by your basic rule. I actually respond better than the majority of the people in the office.

There are two types of people i have noticed that are challenged the most with working remote. Those that need lots of social interaction and those with smaller kids at home. One simply hates the isolation and the other is usually too distracted.

I have worked remote for the last 3 years and in the office for the 10 years before that at the same company. I can definitely say I will never work in an office again if at all possible. Remote work is definitely not for everyone, but for those of us that prefer it, its more important than pay or benefits. I won't rehash what others have said, but i do have an experience that may be different than most.

I work for a company of close to 3000 that has maybe a dozen remote workers. Most of which are sales people, a few workers that work on site all over the country and then me, a developer/analyst.

As a general rule, the company allows occasional remote work for select teams (mostly just IT), but as a whole, it's against remote work. I am the only developer (or IT for that matter) that is full remote.

Working for a company that is NOT a remote friendly company is an absolute challenge. Here are a few of the additional challenges you deal with above and beyond the normal remote work. - missed conversations. they happen way more in an office that doesn't have remote workers

- no advancement possibilities. I'm already sr. so I don't care)

- jealousy issues. not a real problem aside from I can't tell people I am working in another state for the winter

- you are an inconvenience to everyone. every meeting requires the phone or remote desktop just for you

- all processes have to take into account 1 remote worker

- missed team events, although I attend most of them since I only live 1.5 hours away (most of the year)

- VPN... if there are issues, I am the first to know

- expectation of 8-5 m-f. Although I actually prefer it because routine is good and sets defined work/life time

Ultimately, if you are not sure if you would like to be a remote worker, I wouldn't recommend it at a company that isn't at least 50% remote (or at least the team you would be on).

I agree. Its memory usages is a fraction of atom or slack. not sure what MS did to make that happen, but what ever they did.... its working.

Yes, insomnia can export/import.

This is probably the best advice I have ever seen on this topic.
