Im living in NL also, and after interviewing and reaching the ceiling for a web engineer (80k perm contract) I really would like to get into contracting for an US company. Was there a particular website that you used or any advice you could give me ? Thanks!

I used to care a lot about this kind of things about two years ago when I switched from mac to linux. But to be honest, you just kind of get used to it after a while and its not really that much of a deal breaker anymore. I spend most of my time in terminals, and I use i3wm so most of my workflow doesnt involve using the touchpad at all. The only use case i have for it is when using chrome, but even so theres vimium and similar things to help you navigate around without leaving your keyboard.

A bit offtopic, but whats the reason you would like to move away from them? I just created a dropplet for a nextcloud server and the experience was painless

Back in 2012-2013 I was learning about javascript and nodejs was the new kid in town. I started learning about express and mongodb and within a few weeks I manage to create a scraper for torrentz.eu to index a bunch of movie torrents and fetch their metadata from imdb/omdb and trailers from youtube. I built a pretty UI and publish the website in the chrome store as an app. It quickly began to grow and was averaging around 600-700 visits a day and even made it as a featured app in the store.

One local blog from my city in argentina picked it up and wrote an article about it and got a call from a big local company that they wanted to talk to me. Thats how I landed my first job as a javascript developer.

A year later my app got removed from the store because "it did not comply with their policies or terms of service".
