This is exactly what I've been wondering... The developer page doesn't really provide much insight into things either. Other than their development environment is based on React Native...

I couldn't agree more. Yes there is some utility to things like Electronc and React Native. They are great for small startups that don't have the money to hire a team for each platform. Or they just need to get something that they can demo to investors. But really when it comes down to it, they should take some money and hire some people that can write the app natively.

Yeah they evacuated the entire town from what I heard. So there is no danger to any lives. I'm pretty sure the city has accepted that as long as no one dies, that everything else can burn.

I've been a software engineer for nearly 20 years now, and you know what I do when I hav the time? I blow glass. Honestly I enjoyed writing code much more when I was a teen and in college in my free time, but now that I do it 40 hours a week I need something else. Sure I have some programming projects I do outside of work. But they are needed for something else I help run. Besides now that I'm nearly 40, I have a house and family to look after. I barely have time to take care of those with my full time job.

Thanks for posting about this. I had no clue it existed and I have to say I agree I really like how elegant it looks.

I use this a lot for quickly testing things out when I am not entirely sure what I need. It's incredibly powerful, and give you scopes so you can verify things work. It may be very old and look ancient by modern standards but it's much more usable for me. Also I don't need sonmething to simulate an Arduino, I need something to say test a op-amp summing amplifier.

I work for a Fortune 500 on a pretty large app, and we use C++ as the core language for all the platforms we support with the UI layer being written in whatever makes sense (Swift -> iOS/Mac, Kotlin -> Android) Its not new new but its been this way for about 5 years now.

For me I think this misses another issue that may or may have not been pointed out: The bigger issue isn't people or resturaunts using gas, but the gas pipelines themselves leaking and emitting green house gasses. Natural Gas isn't going anywheres anytime soon even if we switch over to electric. So why isn't the government making sure leaky gas pipelines get fixed and maintained?

Would you consider adding support for PostgreSQL instead of just MySQL. I realize that it can greatly complicate things, but PostgreSQL is generally a much better DB.

This is so relateable. I generally reply to all recruiters from NY/NJ and tell them I don't ever want to talk to them. I have no desire for hedge fund backed companies. Another thing that always get me is when so company wants x number of years experience with y technology, but x is larger than the total time since technology was available. Worst thing I had a recruiter do to me was send me an email, and instead of BCCing all the candidates they CC'd them thus disclosing all of their recruitment efforts. Also they're emails.

This is a bit of a loaded question. It greatly depends on what kind of IDE you need. iOS/Mac apps Xcode, Android apps Android Studio, Web stuff vs-code, atom or anyone of another handful of apps. Each one has specific markets.
