Have you ever been to China? Because they have some of the most beautiful scenery and buildings I've seen and I've been to dozens of countries. Personally I wouldn't go there for remote work, because the internet interference

Tired. Mostly of having to try and explain to people why having an AI reduce software development workload by 30-50% doesn't reduce headcount or time taken similarly. Turns out, lots of time is still sunk in talking about the features

Readability over brevity for maintainable code (I know an interview doesn't require this, but I look for it) While this works, it's not exactly intuitive.

Hopefully it comes across as helpful and not condescending. You're probably looking for "showing it to me" or "making me aware of it" rather than "noticing it to me" as noticing is usually used like "

How is it FUD? If they offered to support higher security on win11 with a tpm chip that'd be one thing, but they're creating a situation where you either pay them for security updates on win10 forever or be forced to upgrade hardw

Assume terrible internet and then anyone with good internet is pleasantly surprised how not terrible your websites are. Youre also opening up to more potential customers in rural areas or areas with poor reception, where internet may exist

Follow up question from someone who's mostly forgotten his university physics. Do photons actually exist, in the traditional sense of physical matter. Or are they just a convenient short hand to describe the transfer of energy via wave
