And even then, getting interviews is one thing, but getting offers is something completely different. And there's also the advantage of having a current job, instead of an increasingly larger jobless gap that not only decreases your ch

Having the continuation bytes always start with the bits `10` also make it possible to seek to any random byte, and trivially know if you're at the beginning of a character or at a continuation byte like you mentioned, so you can easil
