Look at levels.fyi, the highest paid E7 is around 250k GBP TC (i.e. base + bonus + shares) and there is one IC6 with 350k GBP TC. But basic devs are in the Glassdoor range, while London is as expensive as SFBA with a much worse weather. Bas

It's smooth. I'd say more smooth than older Androids (<7). Haven't seen any UI hiccups on Xperia 10ii nor Jolla C. Definitely the most polished Linux smartphone experience (outside Android if you still consider that a Linu

I bought a 1TB WD Blue M.2 SSD like the one on the picture and my computer has issues booting from it when all USB devices are plugged in (x299/10980XE). It looks like more people have issues booting from it as well, based on the feedb

That's a bit like saying "your car has 5 gears but you can only use the first one". In practice you have 1 gear.

I've just switched over from iPhone to SailfishOS running on Xperia 10ii (the most powerful device to run SailfishOS officially and the only 64-bit one). Reflashing firmware took about 20 minutes in total, no issues since except for th

Android phones don't have real multitasking; SailfishOS might be a better example.

Buy Sony Xperia 10 ii, then buy an official SailfishOS package from shop.jolla.com and flash it over Android 11 - enjoy a polished mobile OS without snitches, which you fully control, a real pocket computer instead of a future pocket police

GraphQL is extremely badly designed - try to do nested pagination, that's basically unsolvable in a single server roundtrip. The hack of keeping an n-dimensional array of pointers to cover each level of pagination falls apart with any

Any VCs willing to invest into pure Linux phones? It should be a gold mine now with Apple destroying its brand and losing its main marketing differentiation for privacy-conscious people (i.e. high IQ, top $).

The issue is an increasing infantilization world-wide where some group thinks it needs to "protect the others", assuming they are the single source of truth and that it's obvious they are. It's a well known bias which fo

One of the Top 10 CS universities I studied at had some system for that, obviously it couldn't catch somebody who was a good programmer and could reshuffle AST with properly renamed variables. But it was still helpful for less-gifted s

It's tricky to find without networking; get yourself into a-team or a similar remote-friendly contractor agency first for 100-400/hour (interviews might be comparable to FAANG level of difficulty) and then network from there.
