Things software engineers will never get tired of: - Building job boards - Building static site generators - Building todo list apps - Building "personal knowledge base" type apps

I will do that one day but I want to blog about it as I build them and I never get my blog set up the way I want it.

That's what the personal static site generator project is for.

I wish these salaries existed for Europe

Be careful what you wish for, unless you want tech oligarchs messing with your governments as well.

We have some of that already.

If you’re looking at a job board for remote jobs and blindly submitting a resume in 2025, you’ve already lost.

There are probably thousands of people applying and it’s like a lottery ticket whether you will stand out enough for your resume to even be seen unless they are looking for a specialized skillset. No full stack or front end development is not specialized.

So low salaries in Europe are because they lack oligarchs?

How do these sort of aggregator sites work on legality of information?

Copyright and terms of sites scraped etc

What will you do about ghost jobs? For example I see Microsoft has a bunch of generic software engineer roles listed, despite them just doing huge layoffs. If they were actually hiring they could have easily shifted existing workers into those. These aren't highly specialized roles.
