I am very curious if eGPUs would work with Mac instead of windows. I am a video editor with final cut as my main tool and if I could offload to a external GPU, I would immediately do it. Anyone knows if this works?

Yeah that's the tricky part. You can subscribe to job alerts on stackoverflow careers and linkedin and hope for something to pop up. Alternatively I would say find a remote contract job and do that for a few months while being in Seoul

Seoul. The city is so damn modern and the energy of Korea is amazing. It's so easy to get dragged into the fast-paced, high-energy lifestyle just by being exposed to other people long enough. Transportation is cheap, it's very eas

We are lucky enough to work in a very modern field with a different mindset in contrast to other jobs. I'm at my 3rd company in Japan now and while some of my previous experiences were bad, it was really more the fault of the company w

The thing with RN is that, well, either you like javascript or you don't. I don't. I agree that RN is the most sophisticated of the options but at the same time I would rater write in Ruby than in javascript. There are some other
