B_Throwaway | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Would you switch to a 4-day-a-week schedule if you could?

By law, in the Netherlands, employees are allowed to reduce their work hours. Allegedly, unless there is a clear, critical business need for you to work the entire week, the company is not allowed to deny your request.

I would love to work fewer days per week, and use the extra time to focus more on my personal development & side projects. However, at my current level of discipline, I'd be fooling myself if I said I would use the time productively.

That said, the idea is still very tempting and I intend to do it in the next couple of years. In the meantime, I fully enjoy all of my 24 PTO days and make use of our policy for getting 5 extra unpaid days without justification.

B_Throwaway | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: When is it time to switch from Shopify to a proprietary solution?

It seems you picked a solution and are now looking for a problem. If you have to ask these questions, don't have problems with your current setup and perhaps switching is not really necessary. The better questions to ask are:

- What are the shortcoming of your current site that would require you to have your own proprietary solution?

- Would the cost of implementing the solution be less than the benefit of the move?

Even if it were a commandment and the biblical patriarchs hadn't had multiple wives, it would still be the christians trying to enforce their own belief system on someone.
