Performance rating
It probably won't affect your income much, at least not relative to the effort you put into it.
You need a good rating for promotions and bonuses (at my company).

You only get to ask once a year, and they can deny it to you for any number of reasons. Bad economy, hiring freeze yada yada.
In the end you often work really hard for a disproportionately small payoff. I've seen many people waste precious time chasing unsatisfying promotions.
It's easier to spend that time looking elsewhere.

#74How to use a Mac. I've always been on Windows and used Linux VMs or WSL. I think it's time to take the plunge though. Just got one recently. The difference between keyboard combos for text selection and navigation, and window switching is annoying so far, but I'm confident I'll get used to it.
Tell me about it, man… guess where the „@„ sign on the German keyboard is? On „q“. Guess how often I’m closing applications when I want to type an „@„ haha. Outside of that I think it got a lot better though.
You can use https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ to change that. It would either require writing your own complex modification, or maybe it's already somewhere in their public repo https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/?q=german
Other solution would be to use something like Keyboard Maestro.

what is the motivation?
uh, I love Rails, and I get even paid to code with it :) :) and so many says it's even better then Rails. I do really wish to write code that is used by millions (super fast and easily scalable) and not just a small teams of engineers (I write mainly backends for my clients/contracts) Then it is something new: I am so glad I moved to Rails many years ago (10), and now it's the first time I'm tented .... :)
Best of luck!

#76I’ll finally dig into frontend frameworks like react. I’m an old fart (started as C dev) and assumed it was a fad years ago - even thought no JavaScript was the future. Silly me, now I have to play catch-up.
You're fine. C will always be around, and there will always be a need for C people.
