Refactored #082: “Roommate Porn”

On this episode of Refactored…

  • Frank follows up on Chris shutting down conversation in meetings. What a jerk.
  • Chris revisits his gear upgrade recommendations for nerds:
    1. Ergonomics first:
      • Adjustable mesh chair
      • Monitor height
      • Mechanical keyboard
      • Mouse that fits your hand
    2. Presentation second:
      • Clean up your background (just make it look tidy - that’s all that matters)
      • Discrete microphone (a starter-level condensor mic is just fine)
      • Upgraded webcam (if you are so inclined)
      • Lighting (e.g. LED panels)
    3. QOL upgrades:
      • Monitor real estate - get yourself too much. Yes, you heard correctly, upgrade to “too much” screen real estate
      • Speakers and/or headphones
      • ACTUAL green screens? The guys debate
      • Frank puts on full display his unreasonably vitriolic hatred of ring lights.
  • Should you work in the healthcare, finance, or defense industry? Or just go straight to pornography? The guys have some thoughts.
  • Everyone hates laptop keyboards. Like, come on. We’re not alone here, right?
  • … and much more!
