A single server can host an awful lot of cat pictures. Especially if you apply a little compression. In fact: I'm sure there are many cat image sharing sites out there. A random search landed me here: https://www.funnycatpix

Unless you need to make a really complicated UI, do you really need Qt devs? I did a custom widget for editing petri-nets in Qt (no QML), you just need competent devs, whether you have Qt, GTK, or winforms experience doesn't matter.

You're assuming no wars or other inefficiencies... In practice there is probably plenty of inefficiencies to go around. Maybe less today, but 14 centuries ago.

Yeah, getting a foot in the door is probably hard. (Not impossible, just hard) I just mean: there actually are lots of pipelines like paid internships. That doesn't mean people aren't lost. I've experienced companies blinding

How many times have your house burned down? Events worth insuring against are so rare that you can't use experience from the last time to pick a better insurance company. Hence, why the market is regulated. Actually, I think my both r

I'm guessing it's a good way for recruiters to gauge your interest too.. You're not going to take a call from someone you couldn't imagine working for.
