Is the plan to do this in regular intervals? If so, would be great if we could get a recurring entry for the calendar.

OP didn't specify whether that includes bonus or not. Regardless, for 2 YoE, this has to be a huge outlier. I'm inclined to think that this more an exception to the rule - I have a…

This is an old article (22/2). Ever since, he has several times refused to back the EU on sanctions and instead adopted a very selfish/nationalist stance. He went as far as to decl…

I've been a backend software engineer my entire career. Given the companies I used to work for, I never had the time to fully embrace my interest/passion for embedded devices. I've…

Thanks! Are there any 'tech-specific' areas in Switzerland, or is it mostly just the big cities like Geneva & Zurich that have most of the tech jobs?

If one has an EU passport, do you even need a work visa?

I've actually heard this the case for most immigrants, regardless of race. Would you say it's the case in the entire country, or more so the rural areas?

Very helpful, thanks. In London, health insurance is normally provided by the company that you work for (at least all the companies I've worked for). And I can sign up my partner f…

Apologies, should have mentioned - software.

My partner and I are thinking of moving to Switzerland to settle down and raise a family. Are there any engineers currently based in Switzerland than can shed some light on the cur…

There has been a few posts recently on HN where people tell us about their success with side projects/small products that actually make them a decent living. It's inspiring to say …

Assuming OP's story is 100% true - how is buying something off of Ebay illegitimate?

Boxing training starts at a very young age, especially because parents/kids know the kind of money and fame a professional boxer can achieve. That being said, I take your point on …

It's interesting to see that this issue is rather controversial within the Rugby/NFL world, whereas other sports it's almost a given? Boxing, for example, has pretty damaging long-…

The worst part about the UK (specifically London, not 100% sure about the rest), is that even when you buy a property (assuming it's a leasehold), then you're again at the mercy of…

Throughout my professional career, I've worked as an engineer for the buy-side (arguably better work-life balance compared to sell-side, i.e. banks). More often than not, I was wor…

Also recommend the book Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams (same author as the guardian article). It's more geared towards the Average Joe and coping wi…

Hey there, where can one contact you to discuss this further?

Reminded me of 'Stuff Made Here' on Youtube. I always thought that companies in that industry had specialized teams (software team, hardware team, mechanics team etc etc.) and that…

Personally, I'd like to see regulation being imposed on this. I'm an engineer with an IT background, and I can confidently say that most (if not all) of my friends who do not come …

So then the question is justified - how is it that if I go to gov.uk, the first popup I get is whether I accept cookies for data privacy. Yet they will seemingly get to send sensit…

> "it could involve an ‘unprecedented’ transfer of citizens’ private health information to controversial private firms like Palantir" Probably a dumb question, but - if every other…

Sort of a side note v2: Would like to see a similar article/resource for Mac too.

Engineering/Development on the internet most certainly suffers from information overload. On Medium alone you'll find multiple articles on one topic with completely opposing though…
