Very interesting.

I prefer flutter to react any day of the week, but react literally change the game for front end programming. Angular was hard to use, and while I've never been a great react programmer it's relatively easy to get started with

On a sidenote, apparently everyone leaving FAANG becomes an investor. In comparison, ten years in a similarly-sized company in europe might buy you a slightly-larger-than-average house.

Lol. That's wishful thinking. You'd be lucky to get a 2 bed apartment in a not-terrible area with pretty bad sound proofing for that.

Unless you move out the areas where the tech companies are at(which is generally in dense cities).

Nifty. Looks like a ThinkPad laptop keyboard adapted to USB instead of whatever internals the laptops use.

Sadly, I'd never use it (very attached to ergo keyboards these days). But nifty, if only for the nostalgia value.

Very cool. I especially like that it still has the mouse built-in. I hate moving my hand to a separate mouse while programming.
