If you check the docs for how to create a react app the first thing they recommend is to use next.js.

Have you ever wondered where the people who make less than $70k/year live?

I worked for a court and a judge asked me to make a website with a button that would show a green circle 95% of the time and a red circle 5% of the time. I didn't ask what it was used for.

I have a similar workflow. I’m the only programmer in my office and just use git to make my life easier.

If you have to have a full time I would find one that has a lot of downtime so you can work on other things while on the clock.

Yes, I was always interested in computers and video games but never thought to try programming until looking at a list of careers and deciding to study CS.

The first language I learned was Java. It’s one of my least favorite languages now but I think it was good enough to learn the fundamentals.

I download Twitch vods and Youtube videos at home and copy them to my work PC to listen to during the day.

I tried doing this a couple years ago. You should download the source and read the docs. If I remember correctly noobs are recommended to make improvements in drivers/staging. There are "TODO" files with things that need to be done. There is a good post about "wanting to contribute" that used to be at the top of the kernelnewbies IRC channel you can read.

I don't work for a tech company, but my job "requires" employees to use VMWare for everything. I try as hard as I can to avoid using the VDI because it is so slow.

I have to request for software to be installed, and our policy is to only install software on the VDI.
