That's like picking a plumbing job because you get to work with hex instead of torx screws. As a professional solution-provider, you're free to offer only work with a specific set of tools but don't expect jobs to magically a

I understand very well as I'm German. Anybody who is usefully skillful and economically useful will be earning north of 57k. Anybody who is all that and earning less than the equivalent German is a means to keep salaries low. There is

It's even worse. The company I'm working at is discovering "near shoring" in countries adjacent to the EU, like Serbia. Much cheaper than local labour and no less qualified . For me to say, the contractors we're wo

This is why I use fixed price offerings for personal projects. A large bill is probably chump change for someone like Troy, for others it's a year or two of savings. The risk is not worth it.

Jenkins is security game over if you overlook a small crucial configuration option or if you install any plugin (and it's unusable without some plugins), as plugin development is a free-for-all and dependencies between plugins are many

Where I live (Germany) this is completely unfeasible and untrustworthy for yet another reason: telcos and ISPs (the big telcos here are ISPs as well). There are not many industries where contract agreements are handled by electronic and man

Don't worry, in Germany you can't even financially afford to have full LTE download speeds without data cap on more than 1 or 2 personal phones so you can be sure nobody else will pay out of their arse to connect everything to 6G

A huge part is companies rejecting simpler solutions. For example, you can use latest systemd to basically replace all of docker and then some. It provides advanced sandboxing, resource control and job control for units and even manages &qu
