> That's insane. Does the Sun sets at 10PM? Umm, in Southern Europe, in summer, you get around 10 days or so where the sun sets at around 10 PM. It's great. I actually enjoy it.

UV umbrellas for summer. People love getting tanned, and you'll see almost nobody protecting themselves against the sun in summer. In 20 years, with 50 degrees Celsius during summer for consecutive weeks, you won't get out of you

I always had the crazy idea of "infinite entertainment": somehow we manage to "tap" into the multiverse and are able to watch TV from countless of planets/universes (I think Rick and Morty did something similar). So

Macbook pro M1 with 32GB of ram. Pretty damn good. I usually have running: - 4 ubuntu VMs via vagrant - docker desktop - 2 Jetbrains IDEs - chrome with tons of tabs - safari with a few tabs (youtube included) - iterm - VLC or apple music pl

Oh man, that's the trap. I do like to learn new things, I swear. But at work I want to focus on what I do best: feature development. Sure, I do know terraform and k8s and what not (because I play with them via my side projects), but at

If only it were more developer-friendly (like Vagrant). Nevertheless, UTM is good.

You mention "frontend team", "server development", "backend code"... But it's all just programming, we are all just programmers (or problem solvers). We can use HTML today, Python tomorrow, and SQL on Frid

International English. I like the L shaped return key. To type, for instance, ö, ó or whatever, I just press and hold the o key and select the adequate version with a number.

> To stay focus, I've tried to work in coffee shops This always puzzled me. The most quiet place to work is usually ones' house/flat. And even if your place is not that quiet, I bet coffee shops are way noiser.

And it doesn't happen all the time. I have 2 MBPs (one is 7 years old, the other is brand new) and with both I have felt the "buzz"... But not every time. I cannot tell under what circumstances it happens. I have never used c

Would be interesting as an experiment: send to the same recruiter a copy of your CV with a different picture and different name. Make sure you add a gender that it's not that common for the given invented name (e.g., invented name = Ro

Exactly. We are building these incredible open source tools... but they grow so complex that we need to pay others in order to use them effectively? What would you say if you had to pay Google if you want to use Golang in an effective way (

If you are not willing to work outside 9-5, if you are not willing to sacrifice your scarce free time, then you must produce perfect bugfree code. Is that? I have to give it to the companies and to the whole devops/agile movement. They

> If the pain falls on others, will they still learn? I think that depends on the seniority of the individual/team. In my experience, of course one can still learn. To give you a real example: years ago one of our systems went down

A sincere thanks. As a software engineer I couldn't care less about what happens to my company's services/products outside the 9-5 time range. Don't get me wrong, I give myself 100% at my job, keep myself educated regul

I don't think many companies out there will let you play around with frontend, backend, system administration, databases, pipelines, etc., all by yourself. Companies nowadays usually have frontend teams, infra teams, backend teams. Eac

Looks great! Is there a company (e.g., LLC) behind this? I don't see any information about it in the Imprint section.
