Linus Torvalds’ Advice on Working From Home during Coronavirus Lockdown
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
While many of us are self-isolating indoors amidst the coronavirus outbreak. [ZDNet][1] had a special feature discussion with Linus Torvalds on his opinions or thoughts on working from home during the Coronavirus lockdown.
|
||||
|
||||
If you didn’t know already (how could you not?), [Linus Torvalds][2] is the creator of Linux and [Git][3] as well. And, he did all that while working from home. Here’s a video from 2016 where Torvalds shows his home office:
|
||||
|
||||
So, in this article, I’m going to share some of my key takeaways along with his responses from [Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols][4]‘ interaction with Linus Torvalds for ZDNet.
|
||||
|
||||
### Discard the fear of missing human interaction
|
||||
|
||||
Torvalds mentioned that when he first started working from home years ago, he was worried about missing human interaction that included going to the office, interacting with people, or simply going out for lunch.
|
||||
|
||||
Interestingly, he did not seem to miss any of that anymore- he preferred his time at home without human interaction.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, isolating yourself from human interacting isn’t the best thing – but it looks like that is a good thing for now.
|
||||
|
||||
### Take advantage of working from home
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Just like we at It’s FOSS operate completely remote, you can do a lot of stuff without actually being at an office.
|
||||
|
||||
Not to forget – you can pet your cat as much as you want and I have 6 of them, I know it’s difficult (*giggles*).
|
||||
|
||||
And, as Linus Torvalds mentioned, the real advantage of remote work is “flexibility”. You do not necessarily need to sit in front of your desk working from 9-5 or more. Technically, you are free to take breaks in between and do whatever you wish at home.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, _**Linus suggests avoiding re-creating an office at your home**_ – which is worse than going to an office.
|
||||
|
||||
### Efficient communication is the key
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose to have several meetings (video conferences or audio calls) in a day – but is it really necessary?
|
||||
|
||||
For some, it might be a big deal – but you should try to minimize the time spent on a meeting by clearing things up in brief.
|
||||
|
||||
Or, as Linus recommends, it’s best to have email lists to keep things on point and that’s how [Linux kernel][7] runs.
|
||||
|
||||
**James Bottomley**, Distinguished Engineer at [IBM Research][8], and a senior Linux kernel developer, also adds a suggestion that you should re-read your text to make sure that you’re sending precise information that no one will potentially skim through.
|
||||
|
||||
Personally, I prefer texts over voice for the very same reason. It saves you time, fact.
|
||||
|
||||
But, keep in mind, that you need to convey only the necessary information in a proper manner without overloading the information that you send via texts/email.
|
||||
|
||||
### Track your time
|
||||
|
||||
Flexibility doesn’t necessarily mean that you can work less and lurk on social media platforms, unless that’s your job.
|
||||
|
||||
So, you need to make sure that you are making the most out of your time. To do that, you can use several tools to track your time on what you use and the duration of it on your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
You can even write it down on a sticky note to make sure you reach your goal of spending the allocated time for work efficiently. You can opt to utilize [RescueTime][9] or [ActivityWatch][10] to track the time you spend on your computer or smartphone.
|
||||
|
||||
### Play with your cat (pets)
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Not to discriminate against other pets, but that’s what Linus Torvalds mentioned.
|
||||
|
||||
Just because you are at your home – you have a lot to do while you schedule your work or try to efficiently utilize the time.
|
||||
|
||||
Linus insists that whenever you’re bored, you can head out to get essentials if necessary or simply play with the cat (or your pet).
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
While Linus Torvalds also mentioned that no one will be judging you when you’re at home, his suggestions seem to be on point and could be very useful for people who struggle with working from home.
|
||||
|
||||
Not just for the coronavirus outbreak – but if you are planning to work from home permanently, you should keep these things in mind.
|
||||
|
||||
What do you think about Linus Torvalds thoughts here? Do you agree with him?

Linus Torvalds 关于在冠状病毒禁足期间在家工作的建议
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
在冠状病毒爆发期间，我们中的许多人都在室内自我隔离。[ZDNet][1] 特此与 Linus Torvalds 进行了专题讨论，讨论了他在冠状病毒禁足期间对在家工作的看法或想法。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你还不知道（怎么可能不知道），[Linus Torvalds][2] 是 Linux 的创建者，也是 [Git][3] 的创建者。而且所有这一切都是他在家里工作时做的。这是 2016 年的视频，Torvalds 展示了他的家庭办公室：
|
||||
|
||||
- [video](https://youtu.be/SOXeXauRAm0)
|
||||
|
||||
因此，在本文中，我将分享我的一些主要要点，以及来自 Linus Torvalds 接受 ZDNet [Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols][4] 采访互动时的回应。
|
||||
|
||||
### 消除对人际交往缺失的恐惧
|
||||
|
||||
Torvalds 提到，几年前刚开始在家工作时，他担心过缺少人与人之间的互动，包括去办公室、与人互动或哪怕只是出去吃个午餐。
|
||||
|
||||
有趣的是，他似乎并没有错过任何东西了，他更喜欢在家中没有人际交往的时间。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，将自己与人际互动隔离开并不是最好的事情 ，但在目前看来，这是一件好事。
|
||||
|
||||
### 利用在家工作的优势
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
就像我们是完全远程操作一样，你可以做很多事情，而无需实际在办公室。
|
||||
|
||||
不要忘记，你可以随心所欲地养猫，我有 6 只猫，我知道这很困难（*哈哈*）。
|
||||
|
||||
而且，正如 Linus Torvalds 所提到的，远程工作的真正优势在于“灵活性”。你不一定需要朝九晚五甚至更长时间地坐在办公桌前。从技术上讲，你可以在工作中自由休息，并在家中做你想做的任何事情。
|
||||
|
||||
换句话说，Torvalds 建议**不要在家中重新建立你的办公室**，这比去办公室还差。
|
||||
|
||||
### 高效沟通是关键
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
虽然你可以在一天之中召开几次会议（视频会议或音频呼叫），但这真的有必要吗？
|
||||
|
||||
对于某些人来说，这可能很重要，但是你应该通过简化整理内容来尽量减少会议花费的时间。
|
||||
|
||||
或者，按照 Torvalds 的建议，最好有个电子邮件列表来记录事情，以确保一切正确，这就是 [Linux 内核][7] 的运行方式。
|
||||
|
||||
James Bottomley 是 [IBM 研究院][8]的杰出工程师，也是资深 Linux 内核开发人员，也建议你重新阅读你的文字以确保发送的准确信息不会被人不小心跳过。
|
||||
|
||||
就个人而言，出于同样的原因，我更喜欢文本而不是语音。 实际上，它可以节省你的时间。
|
||||
|
||||
但是，请记住，你只需要以适当的方式传达必要的信息，而不要使通过文本/电子邮件发送的信息过载。
|
||||
|
||||
### 追踪你的时间
|
||||
|
||||
灵活性并不一定意味着你可以减少工作量并泡在社交媒体平台上，除非那就是你的工作。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，你需要确保充分利用自己的时间。为此，你可以使用多种工具来跟踪你的时间用在什么地方，以及在计算机上花费的时间。
|
||||
|
||||
你甚至可以将其记录在便签上，以确保你达到了将时间分配用于高效工作的目标。你可以选择使用 [RescueTime][9] 或 [ActivityWatch][10] 来跟踪你在计算机或智能手机上花费的时间。
|
||||
|
||||
### 和猫（宠物）一起玩
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
不歧视其他宠物，但这就是 Linus Torvalds 提到的。
|
||||
|
||||
就是因为你在家中，你在安排工作或尝试有效利用时间时要做的事情很多。
|
||||
|
||||
Torvalds 坚持认为，每当你感到无聊时，可以在必要时出门获取必需品，也可以与猫（或你的其它宠物）一起玩。
|
||||
|
||||
### 结语
|
||||
|
||||
此外，Linus Torvalds 还提到了当你在家时没人会评判你，但他的建议似乎是正确的，对于那些在家工作的人来说可能很有用。
|
||||
|
||||
不仅是因为冠状病毒的爆发，而且如果你打算一直在家工作，则应牢记这些。
|
||||
|
||||
你如何看待 Linus Torvalds 的想法？你同意他的观点吗？
