I believe these are pretty tangential.

Remember that you are talking to humans, they are flexible. You were being adversarial. If you could explain them in advance what you were trying to "read between lines", I'm pretty sure most/all of them would have chang

Every next company hires you for your particular expertise that you are able to apply from day one. None of them are interested to invest in your growth. You do it on your personal time.

I was expecting the usage of Unreal Engine. Last time I checked the minimal app was more than 200MB.

One common misconception about senior engineers - akin to "promotion to management", some assume that seniors should be non-ICs (non-individual-contributors), should "multiply" their force "upon" others, organi

Thinking... even code-only usage would be useful I guess, for C++ (like you use wxWidgets/GTK/FLTK). Also, you could visually build the UI in Lazarus, then load in C++ code, if such thing is supported in Lazarus.

Right, the latest version seems to be available through MSYS... I remember there was a huge version gap for *nix vs Windows earlier. I guess I remember the native Windows distribution, which is not available nowadays at all.

Another solution could be translating C++ source to Object Pascal before building. It might not be a full C++ but still an acceptable solution.

Rule of thumb: No first class Windows support, a language never becomes popular enough.

Pro tip: Ageism is rampant. Leave only the latest ~10 years of experience in your CV. Remove PowerBuilder, VB, DOS and similar keywords. Remove years from your education.

Well, I like using C++ for UI.

I wish it had C++ support as well, akin to C++Builder. Pascal syntax is off-putting for many.

Cross-country hiring is done through B2B contracting even within Europe. Contractors send invoices and receive payments through regular wire transfers.

Repetitively translating existing formulas to code is not that satisfying.

Why would someone think that 51 years old engineer can't continue doing driver development in C++ or any other tech tasks? Is it that kind of shop that expected you to "advance" to management path but since you "stayed&q

Please don't do it. Target US clients for US-grade compensation. Advocate your superior talent, not the dumped price. Most people in low-salary locations are used to low quality of life and they just continue living that life. They don

AFAIK the underlying algorithm had been implemented multiple times with accompanying explaining blog posts and articles. So this is yet another iteration, done for fun. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing really useful/new I believe.

I mean, when companies hire remotely worldwide, it is usually B2B contracting relationships. Sometimes intermediary companies are used which specialize setting up entities globally and hiring people as employees of themselves.

Why remote jobs from US shops are US-only while non-US companies that hire remotely hire worldwide? Is it that hard to have cross-border B2B relationships in US? Or is it more like a cultural thing?
