I'm using mostly my e-mail (I was into "inbox zero" before it was a thing to be honest). I have couple dedicated folders for archiving tasks etc. If I have something in my main inbox - it means that it is related to some task that is not finished (and it motivates me to finish it). Normally I have 0-5 messages in my inbox.

I'm Polish and I've learned English by taking a 1-1 class for 1 year and.. Playing games in English, watching movies with eng. subtitles, writing a blog in English - now I've started to learn Chinese in the same way - but it's a bit harder due to learning the alphabet (but it's easier that You've might think about it)

in addition, I've took a look on react/ember/angular etc. but it just doesn't fit me - but at the same time I've took some principles from every of them and use it in my projects (e.g. code modularity)

I'm soo 100% like You.

I've found my own stack of choice - requirejs+jade(pug)+npm scripts(to parse requirejs and ES6 with babel) just do my job - no matter if it is a front-end or mobile one.

I've also add to it Express.js if want to build something full-stack - no front-end frameworks, just jade(pug) and own way of files organization etc. Sometimes I have worse day and think that I'm behind new hyped stuff but then I realise that my way just works without any fancy setup..

exactly! I've bought SublimeText couple years ago, when the value after currency conversion was 4x higher than for someone who earns in dollars - still it was the best investments in dev tool ever!

I You feel good at these all technologies/frameworks and the salary and location are pretty similiar in both of these companies (or You just don't care at the moment about it) I would suggest You to take the 1. offer.

Why?

I'm a webdev and I love building websites. This company build apps using hyped (at the moment) technologies so if something go wrong then You'll find new job easily (I'm getting job offers which requires angular/backbone/cordova experience all the time)

On the other hand, IT security is trending niche, which can be more stable than web development (where market is really huge and dynamic).

But hey, in the end, it's up to You and You should choose wisely what suits You best.
