None of the products you mentioned support macOS environments needed by iOS/tvOS/etc developers. (CodeAnywhere went out of business)

Bitrise has been doing macOS VMs for CI for 10 years, so we extended the existing product to this use-case.

I arrived at the same realization as you--having sales as a skill is beneficial no matter the career path a person is on.

As developer of ~10 years experience, the path I took to get sales experience was to take a job as a sales engineer for a technical product in my software domain. It is the best career decision I have made so far.

My fear was that I would lose my technical knowledge, but I quickly realized that was not the risk I thought it was. I am consistently challenged by the breadth and depth of questions posed by each customer based on their unique needs. As a sales engineer, I learn more in my technical domain than I did at my last humdrum dev job.

And on top of that, of course, I get exposure and practice in this other side of the business and set of skills that was previously an enigma to me.

For me, sales engineering is the best of both worlds.

Thanks for posting this. I have a climate change related project that is getting traction and its needs are exceeding my ability to keep up with the dev work. Hopefully these communities have someone who would like to help. If anyone on HN is interested in helping, you can find details in my profile.

Coal's carbon dioxide pollution can be limited through carbon capture technology. The U.S. government recently incentivized power producers to implement this technology with the expanded 45Q tax credit. We'll see if it pencils out well enough for broad adoption.

Take a look at kotlin. Fully supported by spring. Writes like a scripting lang but has type safety better than Java.

This is the first bipartisan carbon pricing bill to be introduced in 10 years.

This industrial approach to carbon dioxide removal is but one of several in our toolkit, and by no means the least expensive.

Project Drawdown ranks every approach in terms of tonnage of CO2 and cost. http://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank

These approaches get amplified by a price on carbon. If you are interested in convincing your Member of Congress to price carbon, take a look at the most effective organization doing this work: http://www.citizensclimatelobby.org
