Set up Akasha out of interest and it does seem really promising. Thanks for the tip!

In the same vein, I'm curious about the workflow and tooling here. Being used to Visual Studio+XAML kind of WYSIWYG editing, is there anything similar in Kivy? Or do you write code, run app, close app, repeat?

Solid advice, thanks!

Hadn't really considered that the company might like to replace me with another, cheaper student. I do, however, consider my position guaranteed for at least the year's end, but I suppose that's what everyone says before they get let go..

One of the main advantages that I see in zero-hour contracts (=less time spent on the job) would give me more opportunities to participate in i.e. open source, since I'd probably not be too exhausted after a work day. This, I think, would contribute more to my growth than stagnating in the current job too much. Of course, there is the risk that the increased spare time would not be spent on anything even remotely useful.

I agree that it might make sense that it could be best to change the company, but that's something I'm not ready to do, at least in the near future. The current projects are too cool for that

I read in a local science magazine that (paraphrasing) no matter if all the cars were electric - as long as people keep flying, the amount of benzine produced would stay roughly the same, since making kerosene for the planes requires such huge amounts of raw oil. Benzine and other oil-based fuels were said to pretty much just a side product of kerosene production

We have been using http://rocket.chat at work and it works beautifully. Slack was never an option for it was not self-hostable
