Departing within 72 hours, loads of paperwork went into getting approved to get in. Everything seems to be opening up, but while most are calling for things to open up even further; authorities are pointing fingers again to the rising numbe

I probably chose the wrong time to take time off, and travel to SEA for three weeks. Halfway expecting to land there and spend the next few months in lockdown. Wonder how HR will take it.

My home-office pretty much is a weight (monkey) gym with functional weight training tools. Macebells, Clubbells, Kettlebells, pull-up bars, heavy-bag, and heavy exercise balls. Whenever I am in a meeting, and muted, I am swinging or throwin

If I was in financial duress, I certainly would. However, while I am not, I don't see any benefits in holding two full-time remote jobs. I'd rather remotely freelance or consult for multiple clients. In the long run, that is likel

As I am interviewing for remote jobs, while I am in a remote job, I have been considering it. But it really does not seem worth the potentional issues and complexities. The money would be nice, but it also doesn't feel like it would he

I have prepared by networking and making sure that I can work remotely. Spending a lot of time on refining my skills, and making sure I get noticed. I'll also be moving to SEA very soon, where if its absolutely necessary could live spe

I'm in my mid thirties, and did not get into programming until around your age. Didn't get a real programming job until 2-3 years ago. There is some ageism in tech, but I don't think it starts anywhere near your thirties; or

I know this article is about rents in the US, but in many European countries we are dealing with the same situation. I'm in the Netherlands, and seeing quite some people leave for Germany where rents are much lower. But rents in German

In Europe I have never encountered a leet code style interview; and I have interviewed with 30+ companies for a full remote role in the past 2 years. So far they have all been project based (these are the specs, produce a deliverable within

I'm blogging about the experiments I am running with AWS hosted infrastructure. It could be hosted pretty much anywhere, a rpi would be enough. But I can't run those experiments on Hetzner, they simply don't offer as much opt

I have a pretty complicated architecture that would cost me about 20-35$ if it was hosted just on Digitalocean or Hetzner. Instead its AWS ...soon to be multicloud, and costs me about 140$/mo (which does vary). But it does allow me to

Is Delta still dominant in the US? First time I am checking the US Covid stats in months, and it seems like both deaths and hospitalizations in the US are rising. The opposite is true for most of Europe, where omicron cases are rising expon

I'm working on a +500k loc Django codebase that is a single app (but really should be 20-50 apps). It's a pain in the ass to work with. It is turning an already complex monolith into a more complex monolith. New developers that j

I am flat out convinced that most people who buy into the NFT hype are gullibe at best, and a fraud at worst. If that offends anyone, I am sorry; it is probably going to take a while for the NFT madness to blow over and uncover the true nat

People do it for the lulz, money and some fartetched believes. The online groups are often tight knit communities of people with impresive skills who one-up each other on every chance they get. Most of them believe that they are absolutely

That's exactly what they are doing. Sending money to their own wallets to make it seem more genuine. I did see some analysis being performed on those wallets in the past years.

I constantly wonder whether there is something I am missing about Web3. Am just too old and perhaps out of touch to understand the hype? Sometime between 2015-2019 I probably made upwards of 20.000+ manual trades with smart contracts, and e

I'm still happy we are seeing a overreaction rather than a underreaction with new variants. Imagine a variant that spreads as fast as Omicron, but is more lethal than Delta. With a underreaction we'd be back to January 2020. We cl

There was a time when Bitcoin was super fast, you send it and it's there. We didn't really care about double-spends, so no-confirmation transactions where good enough. I kind of long back to that time :). But yes, at this point, I

From the time I entered the world of Crypto (2012) until now. Both speed and ease of use were major selling points for many, if not most alt-coins. Sure, it's not the core promise of ALL those alts, but I remember a period (Raiblocks&#
