I work remote, I have a separate room as my office. My real commute is around 20 meters, but I make it a habit to go out and get some coffee before heading to the office as a mental separation
I walk down the stairs to my desk in my basement. YAY remote work, the shortest commute ever.
My current role is remote.
So, my commute in the morning is walking from my bedroom, to the other side of my house (omg, so far!) to my office.
Some mornings, I detour downstairs to let the dogs out before I log into work.
Went from 2hrs commute each way, down to 10min. Wish I did that years ago.
About 3 seconds. I'm fully remote right now. I eat, sleep, and code in the same room :D
10 minute cycle
About five minutes, if I hit the light. It takes longer to put on my motorcycle gear than it does to ride it to work. Sometimes the ride home takes half an hour or more. I can’t figure out where the extra time is coming from.
I spend approximately 2hrs max on the road, to and from work. Without traffic it is about an hour to and from work.
A 10 mins of bike ride with my wife and with our 6 and 2 years old children to the kindergarten, then 15 mins to our office. Same in the afternoon when we pick them up.
We work in the same company, just on different departments.
The distance between my home and my work place is 25Km. I can't go by public transport because it is even more worse. So i have my moter cycle, every morning i leave before 1 hour before the office time and while driving i listen to podcasts and music. In the evening the traffic is worse, if i leave at 7 pm then i will make it back to my home at 9 pm. So i leave late. That's how i commute.
I'm a 5 minute walk from GitHub HQ. Or I work from my kitchen a lot, whatever I'm feeling like that day. 😎
I would say a terrible, a terrific thing... but my commute time defined me as a developer. It was:
Today it's 1 hour commute by bus, where I also could code what I want, giving me +2 working hours I could dedicate to OSS and self education.
And... That's not quite enough for me. I haven't read a single book in a year, as long as I don't have "dedicated" time for it.
I get up at 7:20, head out for at 7:38 to catch the 7:45 train (which I never pay for cause I already pay taxes so no double dipping) and arrive at the office park at 8:00am and walk about 5 minutes until I'm settled at my desk. Might grab some breakfast at the cafeteria first.
I worked in a different city 250km away and had a second appartement there for workdays. I drove there on monday mornings, stayed until thursday and drove back the 250km to my hometown.
This was a great lifestyle and I really like to travel. But at some point in time my girlfriend and I decided to move in together and I wanted to spend more time with her than just on the weekend.
So I switched to work from home 3 days a week (commute from bedroom to homeoffice) and was in a office for 2 days a week (two offices 250km and 350km from home).
After almost one year I got used to homeoffice, organized myself better and built the required discipline.
So today my commute is from the bedroom to the homeoffice (room) and 1-2 days a week to an office of my choice :)
In the morning 15 minutes by car, in the afternoon more like the double, but it depends on the season.
As I'm not a native French, instead of listening to podcasts, I'm listening to the news radio to enhance my vocabulary.
