Did your employer provide a speced up Air or just the base model. Last time I only chose the Pro because it had twice the ram and storage otherwise I would have went with the Air.

A person can apply to multiple positions.

Most of the applicants already have a job. Even if one position is filled a new position is likely to open up to backfill the other.

The problem managers measured by how many people they manage so they incentivised to hire more people.

There is also the Cordless Alliance System[1]. The problem they are all small players except Bosch. Once two of the big players (Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt, etc.) start sharing batteries hen it will make a difference. Bosch don't even share batteries between their blue and green lineup.

Same for me. After my first job (3.5 years) I took a 1.5 year long sabbatical to travel around New Zealand. I even put that on my CV. I think it made me more interesting for the interviewer.

You can use Messenger or iMessage the same way.

Most of the shops in the UK started their sales last Thursday

A lot of people missing the scope.

Getting to the top 1% isn't really hard. There are 8 billion people on the Earth getting to the top one percent means being in the top 80 million. I can think several things that I'm in the top 1% because most of the people newer do it.

The problem with the internet your reach is higher and you can see people who are one in the million or billion in one aspect of their life, but don't see anything else.

I can completely understand your position, but it shouldn't be like that.

I started my carrier as a remote employee before the pandemic. Pairing helped a lot to learn how others are working. Most of the technical discussions where public. Usually on slack or on GitHub (via RFC PRs). If somebody scheduled a meeting usually included the whole team as optional and encouraged juniors to listen even if they can't contribute. We planned our sprints together so everybody know what the team is working on.

On the other hand I joined a new company during the pandemic which had similar issues. I wanted to help solve it, but they didn't even acknowledged it.

How easy would be for you to change employer with similar commute?

Yeah, I wouldn't have problem going to the office if I can afford a penthouse in the city centre, 15 minutes from the office.

I really miss my 2x20 minutes bike ride to wake up and decompress. Also lunches with coworkers.

The problem I would have to live near where I would work (likely in the city center). Which means higher rents and smaller places. Also if I change jobs my options would be limited.

FAANG in London pay way less than finance

No, but I have lunch and coffee break with my girlfriend.

I'm currently working for a fully remote company with colleagues in multiple timezones. I still would be happy to go to an office to work besides my colleagues but only if it would be 20 minutes from my house on foot or by bike and had team sized room with 4–8 desk in it (no open office BS). I enjoy being surrounded with likeminded people, and during lunches talking about project they are working on outside work or activities they did just to broaden my views. But this is a very little upside compared to a typical office work.

If you want to mimic the in–office fast paced decision making then yes in–person works better.

If you adopt a written RFC based slower decision making where people have time to fully articulate their thoughts and have time to respond to those comments then it not worst, just different.

If the house is burning and we need to come up with a solution now the first works way better. There is a reason why the military have war rooms. But for long term changes the second can be as good if not better.

> 1-on-1 mentoring, pairing for debugging or programming

I find these quite easy or even better remote. I just fire up a screen share or even better a Visual Studio Live Share and both of us can see the same thing while we have our own developer environment.

I wanted to buy the Roost V3 as it seems a better product compared to the Nexstand K2, but went with the Nexstand as the Roost isn't a 5-times better product($90 vs $16)

But that state I will be payed for my efforts.

Unless you do something truly groundbreaking or contributing to a cause I deeply care, which makes me to want to really work there, I will just go to the next company where will be a lot of things that also not work perfectly, but I don't have to jump through these hoops.

I get around 10-12 hours on an M1 Pro with docker running in the background.

My girlfriend easily gets around 20 hours on her M1 Air, but she mostly in chrome.

You should think about retirement, but maybe that will never come. You can hit by a bus any day. You could be sick from the stress and won't able to enjoy the money you saved. You have to live a little right now.

You shouldn't have gap in your resume. I took more than one year off to travel around New Zealand. I put this in my resume and I think it made it more interesting. After that I migrated from Hungary to the UK during COVID and didn't had any problem finding a job.

You can say the same thing about health. A year of less stress at age 30 is more valuable than when you are 60.

I have 5+ years of experience and was looking for a Senior Go developer position.

I started sending out my CV on the second week of September. I got more interviews that I could manage. The companies getting more picky and I got fewer offers than expected, but getting interviews wasn't a problem.

As I see here are only a few junior or medior position, but companies are still hiring for senior and above.

Maybe they know your previous salary, but they don't know how many offers you have. You just have to put your foot down and say you won't move if they offer less than X and state that you current salary is irrelevant as they up against other companies not your current one.

I managed to get a significant salary bump even without having a job, because I made sure they understand from the beginning I'm happy to walk away.

I'm a software developer, but I did these kind of jobs when I moved to New Zealand under the Working Holiday Scheme. The minimum wage what I got for these jobs was more than what I earned as a software developer back in Hungary. It wasn't just free gym as we needed the money to support ourself, but it was still relaxing to not care about the big picture and only do what I was told to do without any responsibility.

I think it would help with adaptation.

I tried my friend's Stadia. One time he come over connected his controller to my Chromecast and it worked amazingly. I was sold.

The only reason I didn't buy my own, because I have to pay full price for every game and I was afraid what would happen if they shut down the system. If they would have said something like: If you purchase a game from us you will be able to play it for 5 years if not we pay your money back. They did the same in the end, but loosed out a lot of people like me.

I currently using a Corne[1]. I was never able to fully touch type on a staggered keyboard as I frequently pressed a neighboring key on the bottom and the number row. Now I only have to move my fingers up and down to find the right keys. Also my fingers have less distance to travel.

Usually it's not just 50 EUR cheaper, but a few hundreds EUR cheaper.

Is it worth the risk? It depends. I use it regularly to visit friends and family back in my home country. Usually not a big deal if it gets cancelled. If I have something important to do I flew out a few days early and sped that time with my family.

It reminds me of a saying: "Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands."

Yes, I built my Corne using that.

If you won't like to source all the components yourself there are vendors who happy to sell you kits, but you can make 3-5 keyboards for that amount of money.

I suggest to use the Miryoku[1] layout.
