A helpful guide for designing backend systems was published on github: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer

Make sure you really learn TCP and the unix toolchain for digging into network problems e.g. tcpdump. It's always important to isolate things: is it the latest push causing things or is it network problems?

Just installed it on ubuntu using sublime text 3 (installed from sublime-text_build-3047_amd64.deb). I get into vim mode when creating new files; however, when opening existing .py files on disk I don't get the vim editor.

I'm working in Norway currently. For what reasons could your pension be denied when you become old? (Assuming you are a permanent resident by the time you want to collect).

I've found in the government jobs, the <= 40hr week is pretty much guaranteed. I agree that the waiting times are a little crazy--I had to wait 3 months to see a specialist after a recommendation from my fastlege.

no.indeed.com indexes all the major norwegian job sites. I suggest going there and just searching for "python" or "java" in the "hva" (what) field. Also, ARM has a branch in Trondheim and last I saw they were hiring software engineers.
