Fun thing but do "winners" feel superior to others? Is that what em dash is about?

I can only recommend Zola as well. I’ve been using it for past 4 years or so and it’s been very stable. Like you, I feel the docs could be a bit more deeper (+more examples) but I’ve always managed to figure out what I need to do.

I'm a web dev so naturally, I'd pick something I know well to implement UIs. Second, distribution is a big one. With native mobile, you have to go through lot of hoops to get your code onto the device easily, usually it means dealing with certificate, licenses etc.

Software devs doing wood working is kind of a meme nowadays, isn’t it?

This feels really amateur-ish. I am a customer of Kagi and I wish them to succeed. So what were they doing up until now? Tax fraud? Paying for search is uncommon for regular folk, I was hesitant to pay for it as well but $10 felt like a good spot for the value I'm getting. If the price hikes again and gets to $15 area, I'm switching back to DDG (I have no use for AI features so it's not a big differentiator to me).

You can do this if you're in US, salaries elsewhere for tech jobs are more inline with salaries for specialized professions (doctors, lawyers). They're still larger than other jobs but it goes nowhere near the levels of western/eastern US (exceptions exist ofc).

Then there's a question when you start a family, that's subjective and something you can control but the model of creating career and then having kids (in late 30s/early 40s) seems more common in US. If you have your first child in mid 30s, then few laters 2nd one for example, you still need to be very hands-on, attentive and provide at least until your late 40s/early 50s.

I have an idea to make any documentation rendered in HTML to be processed. You could then have an application that could parse it, digest it, store it for offline access and have some kind of notification mechanism to let you know it changes.

If you're not a technical type you will not be bothered with setting up a website so that's why I think centralized services will always win. It's similar to why people don't make their own websites but just post to social media.

I can imagine a 1-click solution that would set up everything. But bandcamp also has this functionality where labels can list their artists etc so I think it wouldn't work that well.

I picked up Dart in a week or so and felt very productive with it in less than a month, the language itself is very easy to understand if you already know Typescript or Java. Flutter has a learning curve as well, you need to understand the concepts and the built-in widgets but even after month or so I was able to code up basic cross-platform app for iOS/Android. Ended up spending almost a year working on that project and gradually evolving it to support offline state, geolocation and real time updates.

nice I like it

Whats the game?

Is this still the case? I checked few registrars and they seem to go around $10 nowadays but maybe I missed places with better deals.

I get the reason why that would attract spammers. Bummer for people who would like to use it for legitimate reasons.

I mean especially .ninja, .work etc

Yeah but I wonder if all of these others would get flagged as well.

I have been using this for few years. It's great and I think it fits well how developers want to configure and backup overall.

It’s cool. I tried reading the code but man, the HTML file is over 2k lines since everything is inline. I understand your motivation to implement this without build tools and frameworks but you could have used at least stylesheets and put JS into separate files. Or even use ES modules to split functionality into modules. All of these are native to modern browsers and do not need any build tools.

Switch local storage for IndexedDB. Good library that wraps it is PouchDB: https://pouchdb.com/

It can sync browser db to remote database.

That URL worked for me Would you mind opening issue on GH or just sharing the details what exactly happened? Thanks.

Cool I’ll look into it and fix it.

I thought that I might learn Javascript while doing this but yeah getting shit done.

I was more concerned if my tools are good for the job Ok let's say Django + MySQL.. how do I can I implement Google maps for the app? Or should I just go with OSM?

Yeah I know I don't "need" it but what you're suggesting is actually what I've been doing for past year or so. I need a push to turn this into career, hence the bootcamp (they also say they set up interviews after bootcamp).

Yeah I hear you. The problem is, I kinda like both (but know already some stuff about web). The reason why it's so hard for me to decide is that the cost of the bootcamp is pretty steep.

I come from post-soviet country and the tutor fees are basically my whole life savings (purchasing power/salaries are basically 5-7x lower than western EU states). That's why I'm so hesitant to choose one or the other.

Anyway for anyone who stumbles upon this thread I found some bootcamps (Ironhack) that are in EU via bootcamp.in

I'll look into that but I'm looking for something even more intense.

On that note I'm going to ask specific question. What kind of VPS set-up would I need to comfortably run 3-4 very small websites and still have a little headroom for experimenting with web apps etc.?

The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of getting rid of web hosting and put everything on VPS.

I'm considering the same thing but I don't know if ISTQB has any value in the real world ? I do have practical experience with Python programming and nosetest framework. I'd suggest trying that too.

Well i'll be buying the keyboard to last me for at least next 5 years. So far I like Code keyboards the best. Don't know much about switches though, I want something tactile but if it's super loud I don't know..

that does look really nice. thank you

cool thanks. should I start with the first one? i just need to emphasize that I'm still fairly beginner so I want to be sure that I can understand it and go gradually from easy to hard.

No I'm glad Outlook is mentioned, I haven't even considered it. I do have one account in there, although it's not the main one. I'm just thinking if I should move from one big corporation to another, I feel like supporting the small guys. But hey, I'm gonna check it out - thanks for mentioning it.
