I'm going to take the first week of the Fringe off. I've lived there for 15 years, work at the place that built half the software, and I've never really been to anything before :)
I'm a generalist who loves problem solving and team-building. Currently obsessed with the practical applications of AI and using AI to assist with coding.
I used to live on the Royal Mile for three years, Fringe time was always mental! But super fun. Never took the week/month off but always caught a lot of shows.
Currently on my 4th week on the yearly holiday, returning to the office next Monday. I try to keep 4 weeks of holiday during summer and 1 during winter and then I'm lucky enough to work for a company that is flexible enough that I can take unpaid holidays to have longer weekends or recover every now and then with extra days off.
Those 4 weeks in summer... is this some Scandinavian thing? I heard, that in Sweden, usually in july everything stops, because who ever can, takes the whole month off.
Yeah, I live in Finland where you get 2.5 days of paid mandatory vacation per month worked which totals to 30 days. For each 5 days of holiday spent, you also lose one extra day (some old rule from the days when people worked 6d/wk).
So that makes it basically 5 weeks of holiday and people usually spend 4 of those during the summer and 1 during the winter.
Going to Florida at some point in the coming few months. Will be the first time our whole family has been back to the States together since we moved abroad a year ago! (Yes, a trip to Disney World is definitely happening.)
I’m a full stack developer who has experience with several front-end tools like Reactjs, Vuejs, and jQuery as well as some back-end tools like PHP, Laravel, Node, and Express.

I’m planning my next 3 vacations at the moment. I spent the last year of my life in overdrive with no break in sight. I hurt people close to me because I got so high strung. I’m not making that mistake again.
At my 30s I found out that there was a developer inside a Political Science Graduated.
I've been COO an CMO for 4 years but I decided to persue my dream and become a Front-end developer:)

I appreciate these new joke threads a lot
I'm planning to take a week off before I take my JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) to get in some last minute study.
I'll probably use the rest of my leave on some time off over the Christmas and New Year's break.

Oh ho! I thought your name looked familiar!
I built a Fringe website that uses the API I believe your company provides.
It's possible... I'm not sure we do the API though, I think we just do the sites.

I'd love to go to the Fringe! I really need to try and do it sometime.
First I read "any time off in your furniture?"
I definitely need vacation.
I wood have said the same thing. 😁

I am actually on holidays from my grade, and it means a lot of free time to... Hard study JavaScript. Hahaha
Me and my partner will go away some days out to Málaga, Spain to visit some friends and spend 5 entire days playing modern boardgames.
Going to Mexico for a wedding in August and to Japan in the fall 😌
Nice!
I’ll take two weeks off on August/Sept.
One to spend with my father (haven’t seen him in over a year!) and the other one I’ll be visiting southern Chile with my girlfriend :)
So right now we’re checking out hostal pricing, plane tickets, alllll that jazz. Woohoo!
