Well, the CEO of the company I used to work at is still in touch with me and giving me advice. I just tell him my view of the situation and he tells me what to do. I guess at some point I’ll switch from engineer mode to CEO mode (I already “feel” it a little)

Happened to me once in Thailand, I was very surprised.

Truly USA is an overpriced country with the only good thing being that jobs are high paying… and that’s it.

I think the best thing in life is to have a remote job somehow + travel 50% of the time + stay w friends and family 50% of the time

What do you mean, one of your « submarines »? I don’t understand the meaning.

They deter newbies but this is not a problem for experienced developers.

Yes. I am so worried as well. This is why I installed an AI to double-check if the password I entered is correct when logging in. Fight fire with fire

Sentry isn’t really a full on observability platform. It’s for error reporting only (that is annotated with traces and logs). It turns out that for most projects, this is sufficient. Can’t comment on the vendor lock-in part.

Sorry, but what was the change? Adding corticoid inhalers when treating an asthma episode? Curious since I have asthma and didn’t hear about this change yet.

Why do you want to find employment first? I don’t mean to tell you to change course but curious if going to a school first wouldn’t be a better option.

I can’t prove it but I think that it’ll be hard getting a job here without speaking the language unless you’re extra qualified. At least, that’s my perspective in France but I might be 100% wrong since I actually never held an office job here.

Not sure about Germany, but I would say that they speak better English than us French on average so that’s where I would try my luck first if I was you.

… except that German will be useless if you ever want to transition to Spain / Italy. Learning French would allow you to learn Spanish or Italian fast, but German wont.

(This message is definitely a nothing burger concerning finding employment, but I hope it gave you some ideas to consider)

Sorry, English isn’t my native language, but do you want to start studying again in EU? In that case, you can apply for an education VISA. I don’t know what is a blue card, but I’d suggest looking at the country you want specifically rather than looking at Europe as a whole. The procedures will be similar between EU countries but in the end, you’re going to be talking to one specific embassy in America. Each countries have different levels of strictness.

Asahi is not that bad, did you try it out? I’ve been building a Sway configuration from scratch on it since two weeks and it’s working pretty well. Did a ton of administrative stuff with it yesterday without much trouble other than the key bindings being a bit weird coming from macOS.
