Build a network. LinkedIn may be cringey at times, but it's vital to build a network. If you do things right, at some point, you will be hounded by recruiters. And on that note... Connect with recruiters, lots of them. They can mean th

As the joke goes, there are two types of countries: Those that use the metric system, and those that have been to the moon. All joking aside, the metric system is widely used in the US for guns and drugs.

Seems to me your first problem was trying to use a service like Nopecha in the first place. That immediately strikes me as a great way to get banned from whatever service you were planning on using it on. The fact that GitHub banned your ac

Using data-test-name or data-test="name" for e2e automation is the right answer. Data attributes are not going to conflict with your classes or IDs, won't get mangled, and they are tolerant to DOM, style, and backend/for

The Steam Deck is a handheld, but blurs the line between PC and console, since it runs Linux (or Windows) and can play most of the Steam game catalog. It's not a flagship console in the sense that developers target it as a platform (ye

Vine launched in 2013, Periscope in 2015. I'm sure there are others. TikTok definitely takes advantage of the new hardware with their filters though.

You seem to misunderstand centrism to such an extent that you're essentially attacking a strawman. Centrism isn't an imaginary middle-point on a spectrum between opposing ideologies. It's essentially just a pragmatic selectio
