   Well, in the US cars _always_ have the right of way (technically, it is illegal, but who cares, drivers think they are entitled to it). So, nobody stops for you at pedestrian crossings, unless you already are walking on it (and you can even

    Shameless plug: I have a library for server-side react-like components ( https://github.com/Bloomca/welgo ). It does not help you with client side, so it is more like composable templates, but they are async, so you can

    Thanks for writing it! I think it is a great way for long-time "car camping". I don't think it is a good idea to live like that (but everybody is different, of course), but it is definitely interesting. I have an old truck wi

    Europeans have more public holidays than americans (on average). Also, general work culture encourages better work-life balance, and people rarely expect you to do anything outside of your working hours.

    I don't think there is such a great divide. The greater divide is between people who own a car (or cars) and who do not, however, seems for USA it is a divide between New York City and the rest of the country. Also, I can comment on on

    It depends on your problems. Small companies have different problems in mind than big ones, so it might work pretty well for some smaller companies. In big companies, as GP said, it is often a utopian idea of full transparency and automatic

    My experience is that if you can afford it, allow yourself 2–3 months sabbatical, and after some time (for me it is about 2 weeks), you'll start to produce creative projects. I personally write down all ideas and when I have time to im
