Yes. Previously they mostly used a typical lamp stack in the front end. The php apps pulled data from Java backend services. They had a strict separation policy. The different parts of the bbc where essentially different apps with a proxy i

Agreed. The oldest devs I’ve worked with have to be mid 40’s, don’t think I’ve worked with anyone in their 50’s, they’ve long left. At 35 working in software for 15 years I don’t see any career progression, I’m probably getting my highest p

Yes, I do strength training and also trying to cut body fat. I’m on 2.5g protein per kg body weight which is high as I’m trying to maintain muscle while on a calorie deficit. If I didn’t need to be in a deficit on lower carbs it does look l

I'm doubtful it would be possible but if there was an AppleTV sized MacMini with the Apple ARM chips they would make one hell of a home headless server if you could install Linux on it natively.
