You know what I really like? I like getting into the office every day and having a pretty decent amount of freedom of what I'm going to do that day. I'll probably have meetings. I'll probably have some stuff on the ol' calendar. I'll probably have some team expectations I'm trying to meet. But I also usually have plenty of time to pursue things that are interesting to me at the moment.
Sometimes I'm in the moment to drill through some emails. Sometimes I want to tinker building some demo that sounds like fun. Sometimes I want to write up a thought or record a video. Sometimes I want to plan something out or document something. Sometimes I want to talk something out with other people or do some pair programming.
I'm fortunate that I'm the boss (lol) and I put myself in that position on purpose so I had that freedom.
Hey Chris!
What is your favorite thing about working at CodePen and/or CSS-Tricks?
What keeps you going?
