If I were to guess, they are probably low-balling people. A range of €60k-100k looks suspicious already. I’ve seen this in the past only to be hit with “here’s an offer of 70k” after passing every step of the interview. Oh it’s within the r

It pales in comparison to what the author is talking about, editor support for instance is not good, it took them an awful lot of time to add support for linux-aarch64, it's in general rough around the edges (having to maintain various

I'm going through the same processes as the author, after about a decade of Ruby I'm writing Typescript, Go and type-hinted Python, and I don't think I want to go back to the lack of namespaces/packages and the lack of t

Download Cursor and try it through that, IMO that's currently the most polished experience especially since you can change models on the fly. For more advanced usecases, CLI is better but for getting your feet wet I think Cursor is the

Not everyone has an extra 20 hours a week to contribute to open source, and I'm assuming a project as big as LibreOffice has a lot of non-technical hurdles in place for anyone new. It's perfectly reasonable to donate to people alr
