As a North American who travels in the UK multiple times per year, I really need you to elaborate. My experience has been nothing less than amazing, in comparison to the complete lack of rail options at home.

My company has developed a spreadsheet based on actual historical effort that spits out a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess). Things are split up into different categories, as building with one technology could be more costly than building with another. It has been remarkably accurate as long as we can stay within the original scope.

I love my Lenovo Thinkpad (X1 Carbon). From the little things like hardware switches for the webcam and microphone to the big things like the excellent keyboard feel and Linux support (I use Manjaro). HOWEVER, get the premium screen, because WOW the 1080p screen isn’t great.

My opinion is that dev docs should always start with common use cases that drill into related SDKs/APIs. I find that they are oddly separated more often than I’d like them to be. Microsoft seems to be getting the picture with their .NET 6 documentation.

My brain didn’t become “upgraded” when programming clicked. It was just another tool that I could use to make the world better. Not everyone can code. Those who can already have the wiring there and just need training.
