   Looking forward to Loom so that I can stop having to work on these async codebases. I have no idea why people looked at nodejs and thought it was a good framework to copy. (Sure maybe there is some high performance computing unlocked but mo

   I know people in their 20s in Sweden, Italy, Singapore, Greece and they're all struggling and/or living with their parents. The main point though was that developers dont earn loads in those countries.

   Dev wages have to come down. The last 10 years have been crazy. Lots of devs are paid like doctors, without the limited supply or years of expensive training. It wasn't going to last.

    No one else has mentioned it but my last role was applying on the website of a company I wanted to work for. I chose 20 big companies, applied for 1-2 jobs each. This relies on internal recruiters that in many companies do nothing but some

    I personally do not know much about JS other than some light projects, but I have worked on an application that was C# both front and backend and the productivity was higher than anything else I've worked on. Using the same language, s

    We have lots of config in git, which requires code reviews. 90% of PRs are trivial changes. its especially annoying if you're working on your own. Also as a senior I often have to get managers or green newbies to approve, neither which

    Depends on the job of course. Probably more technical problems and tuning. Often code is low level which is interesting if its your thing but not if you like business problems.

    I did the same, I thought C++ was heading for obsolescence. Now a master of Java, Javascript and can write great full stack apps. Meanwhile HFT C++ jobs are paying double, I'm thinking of going back, even if the systems are boring.

    This seems just part of corporatization of nearly all jobs. It isn't just doctors, its restaurants, pharmacies, taxi firms, clothing stores, law firms, home builders. We used to have lots of small independent firms doing this, now peop

    Have you ever left a job with a Haskell codebase and then the organization regretted it? Usually niche technology becomes difficult to support and often ported out.

    You should try one of the free CDNs like Cloudflare or Netlify. Usually they're free for small sites. Integrates with static generators and git and makes the whole thing very simple.
