I often think that the quality of the product goes against employment incentives. Nobody gets promoted for preserving the good product. Employees get measured of how many changes they make.

What about switching from app dev to embedded? Is an EE knowledge required?

It's not about explaining the process but experiencing it.

You see, wanted to apply immediately but saw that you require a cover letter. Now I have to postpone applying, wait until I write a nice cover letter. Meanwhile, I continue applying and interview processes with those companies who required

It's different from HN, because back than e.g. a license of Visual Studio could easily cost as much as an annual income of a person in some/many countries.

In the East, even businesses and governments used to run on such copies. Microsoft conveniently closed eyes, otherwise nobody would use Windows, Office or any other software from them.

Don't forget that WinRAR comes from 90s eastern European/xUSSR cultural background, where nobody paid for IP, for something that could be copied. Nobody would use it otherwise. I'm pretty sure even the authors used "pira

That always has been my Achilles' heel - I don't play games, I think that it's a waste of time. So just enjoying the tech side of it.

I believe a majority of prospective game developers got into it because of interest in game engine development. For such people, Unreal/Unity/Godot take all the fun out of game dev.

Sure about that? So in 32bit Windows where we still have EDIT, do we also have QBASIC?

Ok, using WinAPI means it is not easily theme-able, unless they provide custom set of controls. I assume it is possible to use Qt back-end for Windows as well. I wish Lazarus also supported C++ akin to C++Builder. Pascal is a deal-breaker m

I wonder why Flutter didn't gain traction in US. It seems to be more or less popular in poor countries and even less in Europe. But in US it seems to be quite a no name. Why US is so JavaScript-centric?
