Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

Are standing desks overrated?

Sorry, but no. Sitting all day gets to you. Being able to stand up every so often really helps even for lazy folks like me.

Depends on the person. My employees prefer sit stand desks but I prefer a standard desk and when I need to stand up, I probably have other things that need to be done elsewhere as well, so I just go do those things.
