We use Jira Cloud, it's a proper service, not a tutorial instance. I thought quite a lot of companies use the cloud version. Have tried to setting up Jira server in house but it's not worth the cost or effort.

Edit: We are a small team of <10 so its cloud license cost is quite good for us.

I don't think the Queen has much of a choice. I think it is a binary choice and she has been forced into it - she can either give her consent or not give the consent, she cannot abstain from it. Either way she would be accused of aiding the other side.

This reminds me of stories about coded messages during World War II [1]. This could be used to maybe embed data messages within public broadcasts? I wonder how much data quality could degrade over AM/FM modulations. There is of course packet radio for data transmissions, but I am specifically thinking about public broadcast. A scenario I thought of is a broadcast in distressed areas, similar to the WWII coded messages, but with addition of data layer embedded that could authenticate the authenticity of the messages, for example.

In my experience, companies tend to look for what you have done rather than what you simply know from a degree. Couple of suggestions maybe -

- To start with, identify any specific individual or team projects from your courses and highlight them on your CV, instead of just listing the classes.

- Look for small coding projects - talk to friends, family and neighbors, see if they know someone who might need help. It could be something as simple as helping a local club or mom & pop store to set up their first web page - start from there.

- While searching, on the side pick an area of technology and get familiar with it. For example - if you are not hands-on familiar with various databases: download MongoDB, see if you can configure it, get it running, and build a sample project with it. Then maybe download MySQL, get it running as well and figure out the difference. You could look into web servers, CMS, AWS, mobile apps, and all kind of things.

All these little bits you learnt and did will come in handy on your CV and, more so, if you do land an interview.
