friends, you don’t have to always be productive. leave the agent on the computer and take care of yourself.

For many people, that's exactly why this is useful: less time on the computer, more time doing other things and occasionally checking in.

In those scenarios, the goal is not "work at any time" but to "be anywhere at any time", or, rather, to "be able to work from anywhere, doing anything".

Sort of....I guess.

I love how all these software engineers are willingly walking into a productivity trap where they will be exploited.

I’m not a swe but damn, I’d hate to be one.

Very interesting. How are you computing your badges? What is you source of information?

Thanks! The play-by-play is scraped from si.com into a SQL schema and the badges and stats are compiled from there. It's all done with a background worker (Resque).

Anything it takes to get more women in these type of fields is a good idea, imo. There's a slight perspective difference that I find really beneficial when working with women in tech. Besides the other obvious benefits.
