My aunt asked us to do the same thing when my father passed away. I was too emotional to decline, but yes it’s fucking weird

It sounds like you already have a foundation to build on. If suggest using chatgpt or something similar to explore concepts you struggle with. “explain git to me as if I knew SVN 10 years ago but have forgotten a bit”

Pretty sure that was a joke. You’re just mean

I work in tech. Most people I work with pick their own hours but are in office during core hours (10-4), some (like me) will do a pretty strict 9-5, I’ve seen some do 6-6 (eew). There’s def a type of people who do more hours to try and get ahead or impress, but I don’t think it’s worth it.

I think if I ever worked somewhere with strict arrival or departure requirements I would leave. I’m an adult and work will get done, too much external control will strangle that.
