Wow, this is amazing, thanks for sharing! Anybody had prior experience attending their retreats? I just started working on my "craft" as a programmer as a side project and definitely would be interested to attend one of these.

It sounds like in comparison to NestJS, Rails third party "gems" (if I am using the right terminology) are easier to use out of the box without too much hustle integrating it with the rest of the framework? Perhaps also the third

In my bubble PHP gets a bad reputation, not sure how much that has changed! About Node, I have been using NestJS[1] and quite like it! Definitely has a lot more functionality out of the box when compared to other options in the Node ecosyst

Thanks for the recommendation, seems that many people share your experience. Any learning resources that comes to mind if you would learn RoR from scratch today?

Too many options to choose from can be paralyzing. Here are somethings that I found helpful. ------------------ Improve one aspect of life at the time. It becomes overwhelming in life if there are too many moving parts. Asking "right n

I would delete posts only if they cause harm. Irrelevant content is very subjective. You never know what somebody on the other end of the world find helpful.

Find a subject or something that is important to you right now. A lot better to learn things just-in-time instead of just-in-case. Questions like "what I am obsessively thinking about or struggling with" tend to be helpful. I keep

Thanks for the recommendation! I also have a Signal group with couple of close friends where we discuss all sort of topics in depth. Really enjoy the conversations but I imagine it is difficult to scale that.

Helsinki. - Public transit is excellent (costs 50-100€ / month). - Studio apartments unfurnished go for about 800-900€ / month. If you do your research well you can definitely do it for around 2k / month.

For those of you who have successfully minimized social media in their life. Where does you go for real conversations on the internet? I sometimes use Twitter for that but feels like the ratio of noise vs. signal is too high!

Good points and personally relate to some of these benefits. I try to keep my social media minimal. No Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, etc... At times has been difficult to use social media in moderation. Feels like I am competing wi

One option is to do become a freelancer. Switching from being an employee to freelancing has increased my income by 2-3x. The actual work is very similar to a day job and projects tend to be full-time and last long. In case you don't h

I see, makes sense as the available options increase. Indeed I imagine it is challenging to compete with eastern european developers on the price. The cost of living there is much lower than where I live for example (Northern Europe). With
