Very similar situation. I have been cancelled, and I can't face going back to employment, but finding a way to earn a crust as a solo engineer is proving somewhat hopeless. At leas…

It's true that (these days) typically, a senior dev will be handy with AWS. It's certainly not true that a senior dev is defined by being good with AWS. I bet Linus Torvalds isn't …

This is cool. I'm actually working on a trivial web-app that will be similar. I'm just doing it as an exercise before I undertake something a bit more ambitious, but I'll be drawin…

You don't need to spend any time or effort memorising a bunch of menus.

Okay..

I've never seen the point in spending time and effort learning and memorising a bunch of vim commands. If I need to do more than simple edits to a file, I'll have a graphical deskt…

I've never heard anyone say that.

I've not tried anything like melatonin. I originally believed that if I normally go to bed at 1am, trying to sleep at 10pm would have me just lying awake, and the only way to chang…

Thanks, I'll give it a listen.

I'm a night owl, always have been, always will be, but we live in an early bird world, and fitting in with that is worth a lot. So at the moment I'm passionate about fixing my dail…

Start using it yourself, raise some PRs, get them to review it, bring up diffs on the screen, just ease them into it a bit. If you're confident using it, that might help them learn…

Basically everything from the age of 11 onward. I can't think of a single thing I'd do the same if I could do it all again, but probably my biggest would be not to go to university…

What do you mean by all that?

Why do women need an excuse? We have free will, we can all pursue the careers we choose.

Yep, it's here forever. It won't go away, that was never on the cards. Thanks again China.

If management aren't on board, and have an aggressive road map, and it's pulling in $20mil, it deserves to fail. Their on borrowed time, and likely they're the reason for the curre…

Dicing with Death A series generally about dangerous roads in countries around the world, but largely focusing on African countries. It gives a view of sub-saharan countries that I…

This in addition to the months of legal work required to actually read all the terms from the hundreds of tracking companies that I'm expected to individually allow or disallow, be…

No

It's the same note, but musicians are anoraks. I know because I used to be one.

I always use UK layout.

I couldn't even get past the legal work to read the article.
