I dislike Python too. But I use it because I have to - a lot of the stuff at work is in Python.

What did you write your SPA app in if you dont mind my asking. Web apps and "full-stack" is not my area. Based on what I have read online I was under the impression that it is all Javascript and ver had a motivation to learn it. I

It is because of things like this and more that I decided not to live in the US and moved home after grad school. Of course many of my friends and (then) countrymen/countrywomen decided to live in the US and chase the dream. For me it

Yes I am aware most startups fail. Risk appetite for each person is different. For anyone considering a start up an assessment of the degree of risk and rewards is essential. So if a startup does not offer me enough information to make that

All good reasons. But an engineer/employee considering moving from a stable publicly traded company to a startup is justified in asking for the data. I am evaluating options now and one of the reasons I am not so keen on offers from st

On the personal front my 2012 MBP still works. An old 2004 PPC MacMini is still going strong though it runs OpenBSD rather than the last version of Mac OS X it supported. My experience with Macs as work and personal laptops has been very go

I agree. Also, most companies need a lot fewer middle managers than they have. I picked a "management" path because promotions are easier. But I still do technical work - I write code, review code, create and review tech documents

I have seen this from 2000. Large corps had 5-7 interviews. Smaller ones then had about 3-4. This is for full-time non-intern roles Edit: My field is not pure software dev

I already have a OpenBSD firewall with no Wifi and connect my Wifi Router to that. Since the APU models advertise WiFi I was wondering how good their range is

My experience with Macs has been good in most aspects except one. In the years I used a Mac I stopped tinkering and OS/systems related hobby projects. I continued to use Linux at work. I recently set up a home firewall with OpenBSD and

Length of use really depends on the user. I typically use any computer system or Phone for 5-6 years at the minimum. Usually with a battery change after year 3 (or 4 if I am lucky). As for desktops, I use them for even longer. I still use a

Fantastic. Thanks for the effort and for making it accessible to many. A friend and I are writing a book on Low-level programming. We are still working on Part 1. The plan is to make it available (along with programming exercises) for free

Apple hit it well and truely out of the park with their M1 and follow ons. No other company makes their own CPU cores. They license them from ARM. I suppose Qcomm or NVIDIA could take an ARM core and make a great Laptop/Desktop SoC but

I can degoogle except for gmail and maps. Apple Maps in my country sucks. There are no good alternatives to Google Maps. Gmail - I have too much stuff there to move away.
