I second the Bob suggestion. Thought it could to be to silly at first but it's really well rounded.

Leatherman Squirt. I used to carry a small pocket knife but realized the squirt was smaller than it and had a lot more functions.

I'm getting the same thing.

I've been on a software development hiatus for about 8 months now and it's been pretty restful. Not ready to get back to it just yet though.
I was having issues resting and resetting day-to-day and that burnt me out and I found what I'm doing now (whatever I want) to be the solution.

Bear mace and a taser probably. Spray the mace and back out of the area (read: run), if they continue to pursue you shoot the taser at them.

NCSU has something similar to the OMSCS. I took a few courses and had a positive experience: https://engineeringonline.ncsu.edu/grad_degrees.html
For those that need some background in Computer Science (say you have a B.S. in something else but want to learn Comp Sci fundamentals) there's also the programming certificate course: https://engineeringonline.ncsu.edu/PS/CPC.html

I've had an account on 4 Dimensions for (wow) 18 years now. I log in every now and then to check things out but don't play regularly anymore. I do see some of the same people there and I they still update and improve as far as I know.

Have you put what you read in Danny Flood's book into practice? I'd be interested in hearing your potential success story if you'd care to share it.

What about the T460p? Looks like it has the WQHD option but I can't seem to find info regarding the RAM (soldered or not).

Are you able to sponsor developers from outside of Ireland? (Like the US)?

I work at a Smart Grid company and we make devices and software that help conserve energy and natural resources. I'm glad to have found the job because my previous job didn't have what I perceived to be a benefit to society and that really bothered me.

My home office setup (where I try to spend most of my working time):
Desk: StandDesk adjustable standing desk with bamboo top
Chair: Standard leather office chair from BigBox store
Monitor: Dual 1080p 5 year old Acers. This is next on my upgrade list
Keyboard: CODE Keyboard with Cherry MX Clear switches
Hours: 9/10am -> Until ~8+ Hours worked
Bonus: Box full of baby chickens and heat lamp. They moved in a few weeks back and I'm waiting for them to grow big enough to be moved outside. Them being around has prompted me to go into my work-office and/or work from another room these past 2 weeks. They're cute but it'll be good when they move out! The cheeping isn't so bad but the heat lamp and the temperatures they require do not align with my preferences.

Is Surge actively looking for subcontractors?
