Looks very complete, another alternative can be nextdns (I use that myself, and it's only $20 USD a year, almost free if you never hit the quota). https://nextdns.io/

Nice! however, it says not available for my device (Galaxy Flip 4). Hopefully at some point it will be?

Sorry to hear that! It's a rough but beautiful profession.

Haha, it's a more practical take!

Something so minuscule! 100% agreed.

That's a calling for sure, is where you mind sees it self finding a conduit for self expression. Do try it! It's a beautiful art form! And don't have to drop everything to make it, it can be a hobby (for now), but try it.

The romanticize take is a calling for life. But we humans are changing machines, and what's true to some it can be so different to others.

I had "burst of interest" to make fermented food in 2018-2019, like a crazy fever to understand kombucha/sauerkraut, etc. I freaking love it.

Now in 2022-2023 it's the compost calling. A compost is so simple, but if you want it to have it in the shortest time, with the best quality, and without any stench, you actually have to put some thought into "what goes into it".

Anyway, silly examples but hope that helps in some way.

Yes, you're 100% correct, I do consider Software Development an art form (self expression).

I self expressed the most with drawings in my childhood, and I had this association in my mind with art/drawing/architecture.

In my late 30's I've taken to drawing again and consumed more architecture content to settle this matter in my head.

Short interesting story: My mom is an Architect, one day when I was about 8 or 9 she said: don't be an Architect, you won't get paid fairly (developing country). It got burned out in my mind, like a command. And slowly moved to "Don't do art stuff". I stopped drawing and started using computers more and more.

Only in my adulthood I started to explore Architecture, and ooohhh boy, I freaking love it. And I would have loved worked with my mom, taking clients, etc.

So, just be careful on what you say to your kids about a career, or how you say it.

I'm not complaining btw, just a fact of life from a very simple comment mom made one random day.

Finally understood inheritance concept (OOP) using the examples in the documentation of Delphi 7 (I miss .chm files).

"TObject is ancestor of all objects and components", it all made sense just with that.

I fought inflation in SimCB and my economy produced 440944 . -0.5% interest rate to reduce inflation, 90% of the time.

I'm not American, and I'm part of their target :)

Avoiding the high fees of remittances when families send money to their loved ones back home.

I did the switch 2 weeks ago, I'm actually enjoying it!

He is probably using Crouton : https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton

Full time, took two years.

Well the main one was just learning, know more people and I thought I would learn how to start or make my own company.

Look, the best part was knowing a LOT more people, learning from them, and just getting all that business stuff/crap/insights... But the single best and most important advice I could give some one that doesn't want to take a full MBA, it's:

1. Learn finances, OMG, just do it. Loan payments, ballon payments, how interest works, credit lines, bonds, leisures, etc. Just LEARN IT, its really usefull, no matter how, just learn it and really well! It's one of the single most important things you could learn as an adult.

2. Learn Marketing. Not just the social media crap, but the "Emotional Branding" stuff. OMG, GO GO GO. Learn to creat "experiences" with the senses, to manipulate prices, learn the marketing lingo and feel the bliss of learning how to sell your producs. DO. IT. NOW.

Anyway, I'm getting my degree in about two weeks. It was hard. It was fun, and actually cheap (third world country yey!).

Any more questions? ask away.

Interesting, I'm a Programmer (Systems Engineer) with an MBA, and right now, I don't know where to go.

Money quote right here: "Time wasted on learning what all the other 4 year olds know is time that can't be spent learning what they actually want to learning that will make them a unique member of society", you sir, are absolutely right. +1

You forgot about: cloud first, mobile first, and that I hold more Microsoft shares than anyone other than index funds and love the mix of profits, investments and dividends returned in our stock. It's right after cloud first and mobile first.

It's... it's like a really, REALLY long chess game... that's AMAZING!!!

"OMG my youth!!!" hahaha, great thanks for the link man!

The capital of El Salvador, it's the largest city of the country :|

I'm a full time developer Java/SQL, finishing a MBA... and I still make < $20k/year. It's ridiculous in USA, but in LATAM it's sad reality.

> "The fact that Yahoo! is even part of the tech scene discussion is an improvement."

Right on the spot sir.

Indeed, inequality is one of the biggest factors, and the gangs (maras) that are all over the place in Central America.

EDIT: spelling

A little outdated... The Salvadorean "Colon"[1] isn't used in that country since 2001.

Hello!, I have a few suggestions:

* This is linked to Twitter ID/Profile right? then why not add some ratio of following/followers to avoid spammy Snips?

* Add a "flag" for reporting unapropiated Snips.

I like the idea, it's devilishly clever.

EDIT: format.

"Most software isn't hard to invent; all software is hard to maintain." -- Now that's a "money quote".

Ah, you beat me to this!, haha :D
