Anything near to the Canada border? I'm thinking about climate change, and I have changed drastically the idea of " where my future home" will be. In 10-20 years things will get worse I imagine.

I usually wait 5 years. If the tech is still there (and it's stable) and devs are using it, then I start learning it. > The real question is how you decide where to invest your time/energy next? Just learn whatever you think it

I always understood "Buy vs Build" as "buying software is cheaper than building it yourself". In the case of NPM, using most of the third-party modules out there (buying) is more expensive than writing the code yourself

As a SWE, I don't think it's great. I'm more interested in writing product features and fixing bugs. I'm not that interested in writing CDK stacks to create databases or what not.

I have been running Ubuntu (arm: 20.04, 21.04) on Vagrant and vmware (tech preview) on Apple Silicon. So far so good. With vagrant you can share a folder quite straightforward. The setup of the vmware tech preview is not obvious, but it jus

I read it more as "everyone (in the team) should be responsible for the architecture (of their products)". So, it's the duty of every engineer (even junior ones) to get to know more about the architecture of their products or
