Wait you guys actually contemplate your "status"? This seems overly dramatic and does not match my experience at all. Software development is a very young profession and will continue to change. I genuinely don't understand t

Yes there are and it's infuriating. Colleague of mine had problems with integrating some code into an app that was built on a newer version of a framework because "there aren't a lot of examples yet". One web search and

And the osrs wiki is pretty special too imo since there is custom code (like calculators and integrations with RL Plugins). Best wiki I've seen.

Not a dig at OP but putting "senior developer" on your resume after only 2 years of experience really sets expectations.

Always thought we'd go the way of our phones being thin clients - doesn't even need to be powerful right? I previously did development work on a VDI which ran on some cloud. Expected it to be laggy but it worked perfectly.

Some people aren't allowed (rental) or cannot afford built-in AC units. I've got a mobile one in my attic where I WFH because otherwise it gets to 30c+ and that's just unbearable.

For photos I recommend Immich ( https://immich.app/ ) - recently switched from nextcloud to immich and it's ridiculous that this is free and opensource software - it feels so premium.

You seem like a super intelligent guy in regards to your profession, though (and perhaps it is my own bias) also super contrarian. I'd genuinely always pick the person who is easy to work with than someone who might cause conflict -

MVC is a frontend paradigm When you're talking about a table of Users you are talking about an entity of User. This can contain extra stuff that's not relevant to the frontend - like the password or lastUpdatedDate, you name it. I
