Another one is Bazqux. Horrible name, but great little product: fast, stable, no nonsense and cheap ($19/year). Using it daily for years and haven't seen single outage or any problem.

All those rules applies to our new non-side projects as well. I can't even count how many times I seen projects with awesome infrastructure and basically zero functionality after depleting whole budget (and usually some more).

We already have, not if you are France or Italy of course. I do own quite some land, but I was not able to plant in there, because of quota. 70% of wine consumption in Czech republic have to be imported and we were not allowed to plant new

Yes, I did it for about 8 years, all solo. For a few years I did rent a cheap house, which I used to travel back to when I was in between trips, but then I redirect all my mail to my moms house and went full hobo and lived out of tiny backp

70k to 80k in Vienna is still quite possible for average developer. Sure it is not 250k, but cross the border and 30k might be something like dream salary. I am not judging the situation. Companies did use the market condition and do pay go

Great point. I, as a farmer, do own quite a lot of wallnut trees that could be mistaken for public property. I am ok with random people picking random wallnuts, but most of the theft is done by organized groups that resell my fruit on farme

No idea. Contracts I am seeing nowadays all seems to be all about web apps and mobile apps are afterthougts. From about 2012 - 2016 it was all about mobile first strategy.

Delphi is a one trick pony. You should use it for writing desktop apps and this area is not that dynamic anymore. For most databases there are bindings or you can use ODBC drivers, for networking there is good enough third party library. R
