I have told clients they are entirely within their rights to work with another contractor who probably charges 1/3 of my rate from a cheap "developing" European country. It's up to them to assess if the additional costs

The fatalism culture is probably one of the biggest problems to overcome. A family member told me of witnessing a terrible car accident in Bahrain and the first thing which happened, instead of tending to the wounded, was to get down a pra

I've been using it for years and will continue to do so for as long as I can. Plus the Xmas hat and snow on the famous orange traffic cone icon always makes me smile each winter :-) Thank you!

Just last week I was starting the process of migrating a client (6 users total) from Bitbucket/Trello over to Gitlab Bronze. Not any more. That price hike is nuts and well out of the grasp of many small startups watching their cashflow

You have described precisely the reason I support artists on Bandcamp - my single €5 purchase is worth 1000s of streams. Although I'd argue artists are promoting merch because selling albums/EPs doesn't pay the bills. It&#x2

For my friends and I it was a social event at the same time each week and all our partners knew we would be unavailable (with the obvious exceptions like illness, partners included). I used to meet another friend every other Tuesday afterwo

Buying an external 56k US Robotics modem was a giant leap when I was a teenager. It opened up the internet as I only had a winmodem at the time and RedHat 7.3 didn't play nice.

Scheduling meetings with friends is very common in the Netherlands as it's seen as an efficient use of everyone's time. I always met two friends on a Thursday for a meal and when I moved away we still video call each week at the

Ireland also requires a TV license for each home. If you have any device _capable_ of receiving a signal you're required to pay.... even if you only use the TV for games consoles or Netflix.

Being a cyclist I loved the infrastructure but got so bored with the landscape it was one of the primary factors for leaving the country. It was a great country to boost my career but the lack of hills/mountains/nature (not desig

From experience it's very efficient especially dealing with Government, banks and other large institutions. The public transport network is superb too - OVfiets opens up a world of exploring on two wheels!

Wait until you try to move away from the expat circles and start integrating with the Dutchies if you plan on staying long term. It's a famously "tolerant" society yet incredibly difficult to break into Dutch friendship cir

Booking are kind of an exception to the rule given their clout. They pay astronomical figures because nobody wants to touch Perl :) There's a huge startup ecosystem in Amsterdam and €100k is approaching CTO salary. Often the dev teams

The EU and US have vastly different top end salaries. Best bet would be to compare countries like Ireland, UK, Netherlands, France, Belgium, Nordics, etc. In Amsterdam the top end was around €80-90k, then it's the management path (pri

I don't use streaming services because I disagree with their insulting revenue for the artists. Fortunately I've always been one to seek out more underground artists, and platforms like Bandcamp have been amazing. Not only do the
