   But 5 months out of 12 (from November till March) it gets dark at around 3-4pm... which is quite depressing in my opinion.

   Perhaps you are taking it too seriously. Sometimes "deadlines" are not really deadlines. I once work on a team exactly like the one you described: I was the new one and I was coming from a company that was obsessed with delivery s

   Agree. I do have a GitHub account, but I do not link it in my CV (nor I link my personal website). I like to write "toy" software that more often than not does not leave my laptop. In the rare occasions I believe the software I wr

   Then just add such buzzwords to your cv. Recruiters know very little about our industry. Once you pass the recruiter layer, you'll get to talk to engineers (and chances are that they will value your wide range of experience)

   I'm using Docker inside a Vagrant virtual machine in my new M1 mbp. Works great! (I use ubuntu arm vagrant boxes available at vagrantcloud, but you can also bake your own image using, for instance, packer). Biggest advantage for me: I

    I was in a more or less similar situation (old 2015 MBP). My main concern with the new Macs were mainly: can I run ubuntu VMs via vagrant? I bought the M1 pro (32GB ram). So far, so good. I'm using Vmware fusion (tech preview) which is

    In my experience: 1. read a lot. Design patterns, architectural patterns, microservices patterns. There are good material out there 2. apply what you have read in your day to day job 3. stick with a job for more than 2 or 3 years Points 1 a

    But that's a very human-centric view of reality, isn't it? Sure, we are humans, so we can't (don't want to?) think in a different way. Other living entities in this planet do not experiment all the 3 points above (or at

    No OP, but: 1) Telemetry that is ON by default is what I don't like. Not being able to opt out makes me uninstall/disable/unregister it. 2) I don't want to read documentation about a "feature" I couldn't c

    I was once working at a place which was heavily invested in CoffeeScript (at that time, the syntax and the handy sintactic sugar were awesome compared to what JS had to offer). A few years later after I left the company, I had a chat with a
