I can have a big positive impact and make the startups I tend to work for better places AND get paid well and be respected. It seems the "potential" here is a result of a lack of care and maintenance for legacy codebases, and not,

Several of the job boards linked don't have any job listings, most don't provide a salary range, several require advanced degrees, and none specify whether remote work is possible. If I can get a better salary and working conditio

My completely non-scientific hypothesis is that sign languages were the first languages. I base this on the idea that hominids have been constructing tools with their hands for millions of years, but, as far as we know, modern human vocal c
