A bit off topic, but I bought a Burmese kitten for around $600 and now I have a best mate with me all day and apparently I’m going to live longer now xD

Pretty awesome breed for someone looking for a house cat. Lots of meme worthy quirks too

For me:

- Philips OneBlade (use it weekly and have not needed to charge in 6 months) $35

- Large desk pad $20

- Shooting hearing protection with white noise (drowns out pretty much all other noise while coding) $100

For me, this topic falls along the same lines as distro ping pong.

I’ve tried many, but have ended up with Cloud Run. It’s been great and costs next to nothing.

Since you run within a Google Cloud Project, you get all the Google tools to use if and when needed too.

GitHub actions usually handle my deployments etc.

I’ve never made more money before than I do currently with Go, Python and Kotlin.

I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve.

In general, it would be more beneficial to learn supporting topics like building distributed systems, database internals etc than purely just another language.

Before spending the last money I had on a coding book, the cashier could see my hesitation and said "don't worry, investing in yourself is never a waste of money".

It had a profound impact on me.
