you can "sort of" duplicate a tab by ctrl + clicking on the back button. I use that more than duplicating.

piggybacking here. I can't do without in-ears. Headsets/devices that cover the whole ear are too uncomfortable and all other options' mic catches simply every possible sound generated in whichever room I'm in.

note that I'm not a software engineer myself (requirements eng.) and don't live in the US

- earn or learn. where the learn relates to how familiar the industry is for me. worked in banking, gambling and now logistics and there is a learning curve, even though the job description is the same. earn has to be the same I'm making now.

- size of the company. worked in orgs from 200 to 4000 employees. I get lost in the org chart somewhere. I think my sweet spot is in the 400-600. there's also significantly less bullshit in smaller sized companies.

- home office flexibility. If I'm juggling sick kids at home, I want to be able to NOT show up at the office and spare me the commute for a month without any explanations.

- location. I actually like going to the office couple of times a week. if I don't have to spend an hour getting there, I know I will.

- has to be an international company. I'm an immigrant and I'd rather be with some like me. also attracts different kind of locals, more open minded.

you take a leap of faith with coworkers and company culture. I peek in kununu.com or glassdoor to see what others comment about it, but it's almost always a leap of faith.

this seems like a good thread to piggyback on. Could I get some links to " official development blogs"? I recently bumped into the one by Etsy (http://codeascraft.etsy.com/) and I'm sure there are many others.

I find the first hand story of how different architectural decisions turn out in real world scenarios are way more valuable than all the blogs out there writing about any new hot piece of tech. I'm curious what you found interesting and even check regularly.

Seems based in Austria (surprised to see it here, I thought it was local only).

Minimum salary as per collective agreement must be displayed on the job listing, but for skilled workers it's a mere reference. I asked 40% more than what was advertised for my current job and got it.

premium plan on a virtual badge, NFT or whatever crap you want. content would still be freely available for everybody but the infra costs would be a bit less.
