If you want/need a new job I'd tailor it for whatever I felt would be easiest to land while still being interesting enough to consider.

If you're not really looking I'd tailor it for whatever job I'd really really want. You never know, but even if that dream job isn't available a CV like that will emphazise what you're truly passionate about. It might lead to something great

Well, "quite slow" is of course subjective. But compared to 10+ years ago standards it's barely noticeable today. It seems to be mostly an issue with GPU virtualization. So if you plan your hardware and set it up right (pci passthrough) you can get very good performance, even in a VM. To see it (over)done, check out Linus Tech Tips

Learn AngularJS 11 years ago

React even say themselves they're just the V in MVC. Angular is full stack. What you need and which is best is probably up to yourself to answer. I personally found it nice that angular is a working framework, instead of having to piece together a framework myself using react++

The part about "not compatible" is simply not true. You will be able to use angular 1 and angular 2 in the same app.

They mention this was "discovered three years ago", but I was sure I remembered this from years back.

I actually do like this concept. I've always found it cumbersome that online support is a live session where either one of you can get disconnected at any time, or that you might get occupied and can't finish the session there and then. Sonar easily solves that, while giving me the possibility to just pick up "messages" on my phone and ask them something out of the blue later on.

Won't complain FOSS/OSS has its drawbacks, but everything has two sides.

I might be a strange case, but I just have this feeling "real" companies spend their $$$ on meetings in Bahamas and Ferraris, while FOSS/OSS would be more open to security audits/etc.

A company with money on the line can (also) easily be shut down or aquired. I imagine a FOSS/OSS team would be demanding more guarantees for the future of the project, while "in it for the money" companies would take the check and not give a damn if it was shut down the same day.

"Real" companies often seem to push releases/features (prematurely?) to attract new customers. That the new features pass review/QA doesn't necessarily mean they are implemented right (goto fail?). In addition FOSS/OSS have public bug trackers, I'd rather know there are x number of bugs labeled "security" in my os, than not beeing told at all.

Support can (should?) be where open source make money, there are lots of FOSS/OSS projects out there offering paid support/installations/sass.

And the unknown collection of open source developers _may_ be a much better collection of security specialists/coders than in the "real" company. As most of FOSS/OSS is done voluntarily you don't have to pay huge paychecks for top of the line expertise.

Bottom line, I trust Debian (& co) and Mozilla. I don't trust Microsoft, Apple and Google.

This is 100% biased as to what I think. I understand that this is a two sided issue, and fully understand people who think like you sketched out. I'm just not one of those people :P

Buy a wireless charger, trust me it is worth every single dollar (not that expensive for a cheap qi charger on ebay anyway).

I have one at my workstation at home and one at work, and never have to find the cable to charge my phone. Which also mean I'll never wear out the charging socket :)

No, I don't want a smartwatch.

First of all it doesn't help they are in their infant stage (meaning: they suck), I also don't feel the huge need to be even more connected than I am today.

In fact I am doing the opposite. I'm trying to leave my phone more often as it takes away my attention at times when I should give attention to other things / people.

I find it's kinda rude when I'm at a dinner or meeting and people sit there watching their own little screen instead of actually beeing part of what's going on in the real world.

I'm guessing another screen won't make it any better.

Should be a passion, when a developer go into "get by to pay the bills" mode he/she should get restructured to a new project or whatever else can spark their passion again.

Me? Passion. I work from 7 to 15 and code on hobby projects / play with new languages/frameworks almost daily after that.
