I’m 27. Just to give it a reference frame.

My company failed. Worked on it 6 years and ended in a burnout. Thing is I can say I tried. And now I have another few years (like atleast 40 I hope^^) to do something else. Failing early isn’t the Ende. You did atleast try if you fail.

Out of interest: why did you implement SRP and did not wait till OPAQUE is finished? And do you plan to implement OPAQUE in the future (tm)?

Ohhh and before I forget it -> one skill that helped me a lot -> Hosting my own stuff securely on bare servers without docker for example. It helped to understand security concepts, how much resources a website really needs and what I even need to host a website.

It´s nothing against docker, but keeping a bare web server secure and then introducing databases etc. with self build images is nice.

First of all: Awesome! Most people do not try to understand the basics and jump right in to specific frameworks. Understanding the basics will help you in the long run to adapt to different things.

One thing Im personally missed out (now 27; started at 12 with web stuff) is writing. Not only writing blog articles or documentation, but writing for the sake of documenting small hacks or bigger concepts. So that would be one tip I personally would loved to get.

About projects: - either do things like features for small projects (e.g. dark mode for something like altcha.org) - try to fix some bugs - or try to recreate small projects based on a framework or vanilla for the sake of learning stuff.

As a tip for learning more things etc. in the web dev space -> Look into accessibility. Its a huge and interesting topic.

Also "that is hard and might be too hard for my skill level." -> Do it. Get started with something "easy", read papers, do tutorials, write stuff about what you learned. You wont learn if you wont try :D

In general -> Keep on learning. Don´t waste time on chasing the next framework and ask. Asking questions can be interpreted as being annoying. But if you try to understand different view points, different tech etc. you will end up talking with people that will bring you forward.

Languagetools maybe?

They do. You either pay Transit pricing or have settlement free peering (as in everyone pays his costs and the data exchange is free; as long as certain requirements are met).

Thing is: charging the data center/content provider above global average pricing and also charging the end customer for the same service again.

Transit yes; Deutsche Telekom AG is one of the worst in Europe. While telia charges something in the range of 10-20ct per Mbit; DTAG charges 80ct.

For Hetzner as German Company: If it is legal interception no. You can’t demand an answer, without going to a lawyer first.

On the other hand, if it is not lawful interception, I doubt Hetzner would allow it. Because that’s also against law.
