I've written some R both for small interactive scripts and running in production, it wasn't the first language I learned - R gets some things done very well; it also has some idiosyncracies, there is stuff that is clearly patched

It's interesting how it varies across countries. In the UK Amazon is great - good options, decent quality, fast delivery (next day with Prime, sometimes even same day). It's much better than the alternatives in my experience.

How is the additional recruiter visibility useful given that - they just got offered a job and won't be on the market in the near future - they can clearly get a senior devops job anyway ?

Considering that you have a CS degree and your current title is software engineer, it's just a matter of applying for software development jobs and interviewing well. It's hardly a big pivot.

This is different from being poor in the financial sense. It goes deep into the poor mindset and pscyhology and how it can stick around even after you're doing okay. My parents are working class, I'm an immigrant and I had a minim

It's important to note that Rust is not used nearly as much commercially which means that most of the people who use it are enthusiasts who like the language. So when you have a metric like > % of developers who are developing with
