Welcome to the Work From Home Forever podcast, and on this episode, we have Bret Bernhoft, a full-stack developer who has been working remotely for the last three years. Bret's journey into remote work is unique as he is neurodiverse, finding remote work to be the perfect fit for his professional needs, especially as someone with autism.
Bret shares his story, highlighting his self-taught journey into coding and how it opened up new opportunities for him. He emphasizes the life-changing impact of remote work, particularly for individuals facing challenges like neurodiversity.
In this conversation:
- Bret discusses the distractions and challenges he faced while working in an office environment compared to the focused, simplified setting of working from home.
- He shares insights into his daily routine, emphasizing the importance of tools like Microsoft Teams and GitHub for seamless collaboration with colleagues.
- The discussion delves into the misconceptions surrounding neurodiverse individuals in the workplace, with Bret advocating for the support and understanding needed to unlock their full potential.
- He emphasizes the value of skills as "force multipliers" in remote work, encouraging others to explore technology as a gateway to remote careers.
Reflecting on the future, Bret envisions continued growth in remote work, fueled by advancements in technology. He dismisses concerns about AI taking over jobs, embracing technology as a tool to enhance productivity rather than replace human workers.
Throughout the episode, Bret's positive outlook and pragmatic advice shine through, offering valuable insights for anyone considering or already navigating the world of remote work.
