There are still so many devs who don't want to deal with types, and they love Ruby and Python, as well as JavaScript without types.

It is quite difficult to work on large Ruby or Python projects; interfaces are not determined, and figuring out what's happening is painful.

Still, so many devs love it, and they wanna keep working with Ruby and Python in this way.

I kind of feel that experienced devs move on, and give up projects without types.

Waking up when the dog wanna eat. Going back to sleep, waking up when I had enough sleep, making a coffee and reading Hackernews, Guardian and Reddit until noon. Having a brunch outside. Enjoying life and not worrying at all. ;)

Taking a magnesium vitamin pill before sleep helps a lot. Try it out.

Ember.js is nicely adopted the bests from Ruby on Rails, and Ember.js is still one of the best JavaScript framework out there, IMHO.

I always wanted to be a programmer, but coming from a poor family and from Eastern Europe, it was not really an option in my twenties. Of course you learn programming from books and blog posts. It worked. However, I never gave up my dream, so I just ended up in a master program when I was 40. Finished it part time and got my Computer Science Master when I was 45. Also, having real world experience helped a lot learning the theory, because you already know how to use it in practice. ;)

To be honest, when I was in my twenties, I just wanted to work and being "serious" grown-up. Being student when you are 40+ is much more fun and you really enjoy every second of it. Exams are amazing, home-works are challenging, a lot of fun!

You don't have to do everything right now. The most important is that always do what you would enjoy, do things what you really like. Life is long!

Ember.js is an excellent choice. Check out the codebase how clean and easy to follow. It is just beautiful as always.

Running sqlite in memory as a test db speeds up your test runner as crazy. You can do this if you use an sql query builder library, because it can translate your queries to the specific database.

There isn't any tip in New Zealand and Australia. Everybody get proper salary. The service is always exceptional. How is that possible?
