I would be really happy if the Inbox application had multiple accounts since I also use Fastmail and yet another account for work. But I guess the "postpone" feature would be impossible to have without access to the other servers.

> rspec + capybara is much more enjoyable and maintainable

It looks like it's limited to testing web sites and is not really useful for me. Gherkins can be adapted for all kind of tests (even if I agree that it's far from perfect).

Courts of which country? There are a lot of countries out there, some of them allowing reverse engineering (especially in Europe for example).

> the reverse engineering is prohibited for ages

Not in some countries. Oracle would be against the law in that case, that's why people are unhappy.

Which is incredibly stupid, and forbidden in most European countries: you cannot use your horn unless it's an emergency. Finding your car is not an emergency.

I actually have the completely reverse experience. I've been writing software for more than 15 years and C++ always got me a job.

When I was unemployed, I always had at least ten potential employers calling me for my C++ skills. And with C++, you can get a lot of various jobs like multimedia, systems programming, security, banks (even if you know nothing about it, they will teach you what you must know whether it's a big bank or a company doing embedded devices). My resume is rather generic and I don't have any specialization.

It's definitely not a useless skill. It seems to be a bit rare and I'm sure that's why I always had companies hiring me to write C++ code.
