to me, the moment this work from home kicks in, i really enjoy it throughout
i have a newborn to take care in my family. if i go to work, i can't concentrate because i will always wonder what is going on with my newborn. when i'm at home working, i can easily see what's going on exactly.
the commute time is also also another issue. i use to spend an hour to and fro from the office each. now with this situation, i can wake up very late and still be on time for the meeting
did my efficiency drop? hard to say, but i give my 100% even when i'm working from home
if your codebase is already very large to the point that refactoring/rewriting can take ages, then I agree with not using framework from 3rd party
however, for starter pack, it's best to use a existing good framework. There's always a learning curve in whatever you do, but at least framework help you speed up your development.
We will be locked in if we were to take the 80%. So even if there's full exit, we are still required to work inside or can't proceed a startup straight after that.
