currently I'm on welfare. (enough to not have to use money put aside) If I work (even part time, I will loose all welfare). If I find a job I will earn only 400-800E more than I earn with welfare.

I do agree with this. Here in France I'm currently unemployed and I have a lot of compensation from government welfare. I'm looking for a job and every time I apply to a job, I have a little voice in my head saying : are you sure

I don't know why it's downvoted but it's the hard truth, I just need to be a better engineer and put the work in to improve myself.

> Feeling powerless comes from not taking control. You have many things in your control you can be doing. Once you do that, it'll be a hell of a lot easier on your conscious. Thanks for this one. It really hit me up.

Thanks for your help and explaining your philosophy of debugging. I found the issue, it was ublock origin which was preventing the request. My model name is called "Ads" so ublock think it was really ads ans so preventing the requ

But what do you do when you don't own the code ? It as never been me which had the decision to choose which things to use. It is the manager or the market. The market is looking for certain kind of developer and I need to know how to u

If I unchecked "Use Legacy Vector" I still got the old UI(the one which is too large on large screen) on the english version edit: I do need to uncheck the "Use Legacy Vector" to have the new design. I don't know wh

Thanks the UI is great. I don't know why but since at least a year we have a new design on the french version of wikipedia (you can check by yourself on any wikipedia page in french). But the english UI is bad it's hard to read on

As I point out, they were a small team of developers before being bought by Facebook. And they still scale up to 50 million users.

I do not understand it too. The cost due to the complexity is at least 10 times more. It feels strange to me that nobody in the hierarchy consider it. I do understand that developer like to play with new technology and don't care about
