    Sidefact: Bigger corps work around this by building holding structures etc, which is a legal soft-tax-evasion way to do this. But all the smaller businesses get hit hard, so as usu…

    Yes, Kyiv, Ukraine (lived there for family reasons). Air strikes are very common, mostly during night. I live and work in 11th floor (self employed, mostly full remote), which is n…

    please add the tech stack, not just "software engineer", as there are literally hundreds of different job types in that exact field

    Yes! In my bubble, we just need "code snapshots" or versioning, but not for the whole repo, more for each function / file. It's surprisingly hard to get juniors into git, there are…
