To put this in context - The kid is 17. My daughter is 17 and she goes to school (11th grade) in Germany. I am an immigrant here so not sure how common this is in Germany but I assumed that kids at this age usually are in school. Kinda feel

Klarna is not payday loans by any means. There are no loans involved. It is a BNPL company (which also offers a credit card and a bank account). Even with BNPL, there is a lot of leeway given to how you want to make a purchase (split in 4 e

Ban everything you cannot control / understand! That is the classic Indian bureaucracy reaction. For example, They also banned tinted windows in cars after an assualt happened in a car. Then, there was a time where they banned somethin

Ruby's entire programming model was based on the premise that language speed does not matter since most of the time you are waiting on IO / Network. Well now, both on Node.js and JVM we have programming models which say that - whi

Not sure of how well this will work with Linux. I had a AMD4 "5XXXG" CPU and there were contant freezes. The Linux kernel does eventually catch-up but it takes time.

While some of the points in this post are valid most of this is just copy-paste non-sense stated in multiple articles. Of course "Scrum" cannot fix your problems if you have bad engineers who are happy to just "close" ti

Great summary. One thing I would add is, tech salaries are much lower in EU, you cannot easily get multiple offers of 100K+ salary even with a decade of experience. But as mentioned in US you can get a much higher salary but you also will b

Fair enough. Respect your opinion. All I know, in Delhi I was using 1 inhaler in 1 week, in Germany it is 1 inhaler in 1 year. That is worth something to me.

That is just your experience. You say as if things in India are all bed of roses. No major city in India (forget small towns) can boast of breathable air, manageable traffic, potable water from the tap or 24 hours of electricity. Women&#x27

As a person born in India, I learned about St. Francis through numerous schools named after him. A lot of those schools were also shelters for animals, that is how I learned about the saint's love and compassion for all living things.

For Indians in India it is also about visa, then taxes, regulations etc. If an Indian startup registers in Dubai, it is relatively easier with the paperwork. Plus visa, office space etc. is much easier. I would imagine that doing the same i

Not sure it this is a great reply. Some valid concerns were raised, and in summary all you are saying is GraphQL is awesome because it has types, schema and defined queries / mutations. This is of-course the basics of GQL, there are a

Just to add my opinion, 60-80K is an expected decent/common salary for an experienced programmer across EU (UK salaries are higher). Programmer salaries above 100K are very uncommon outside a few companies and US/UK.

Yeah, outside of Mumbai I have seen very few "homeless". In India there is always a room to stay depending on the budget or how much you are willing to "travel". India also does not have a huge drug problem, and of cours

The answer is simple - there is no functioning city level garbage collection/disposal system. Outside of a handful of cities, there is no system to regularly collect garbage and dispose it properly. This is due to the sheer size and po

Exactly. At one level, the Indian political system is a politician-criminal nexus. The politicians are supported by money flowing in from shady systems, the politicians allow shady systems to run and use the money to win elections. Rinse an

Same problem exists for JS/TS projects btw. You can write anything, anywhere in any style suited to the developer. I guess that is why coporates like Java so much, it commoditizes developers, but can also rock the boat on the other sid

Given your criteria, Go might be a good choice maybe. It has a bigger or shall we say a more "successful" backend story. Regarding Swift I am not sure how popular it is for the backend, you might not have a lot of libs for example
