Dangerous for their business model I guess.

I am an owner of a Glove 80 and I cannot overstate how benefitial it was for me. It improved my typing speed and overall comfort. Also, it forced me to type correctly, using all my fingers and place them in the correct keys.

To this day I think this is one of the best pieces of hardware that I bought.

Maybe the new Glove Go60 can be considered here: https://www.moergo.com/collections/go60-keyboards/products/g...

I have a Glove 80 and I'm really happy with it.

Locating: One direct referal from a former colleage, and another one from LinkedIn (I applied to it)

Interviewing: I just treat the interviewer as partner rather than a rival that is stopping me from getting the job or something. Being honest and know what you are talking about is key.

Surviving: Didnt really need to, all the companies I worked in were good enough.

I went down to the path of split, tented, columnar keyboards and bought myself a Glove 80.

Despite expensive, I think the purchase was definitely worth it. I use it every day for 6-8 hours (I have a very keyboard centric workflow) and I have not a single regret.

I assume that the universe is almost infinite, so I belive that almost every creature that I can think of has existed, does exist or will exist somewhere.

I tried those 3, and decided to go for bottles. The configuration needed in order to run Windows programms were really really easy, and I like the fact that I can keep all the Windows programs neatly organized in a single place, not only games (as Lutris and Heroic are intended to).

I also tried just wine, but Bottles is a handy wrapper.

RaaS, nice one

After something like 15 years, I'm building again my pc from scratch. I'm learning a ton about those new technologies and how all the pieces fits together. It's a lot of fun.

Most likely you will have to write a lot to communicate effectively what otherwise would be some quick in person chat. Also, is more complicated to be aware of what is going on in general. Non verbal communication is basically non existent and is really important to know the temperature of a meeting, for example.

Also, having a space dedicated solely for work and without distractions goes a long way.

Set a PB on 5K, learned some Nim and gamed a lot. Outer Wilds and The Witcher 3 mostly. Also, I did my first ring muscle up in months.

All my jobs has been pretty average, but I know which one is the best: the one I'm currently on.

Small sized company, with a very horizontal hierarchy, effectively acting as a worker cooperative. We have really good WLB, the payment is not bad, the job is interesting and the colleges are smart.

Everyone here feels a sense of purpose in the company and push to be better, because it directly affects our payment. For that reason our priorities are mostly align with the company's which makes everything run smoothly.

This kind of projects are really good for finding interesting blogs and obscure sites.

Disagree with Cobol being USA-centric language.

In Europe, fintech has a lot of legacy systems in COBOL, with no plans of getting rid of them anytime soon.

I wouldn't consider the head a limb to be honest.

Even if I can learn programming concepts in spanish or any other language, I will need to use english to communicate with my peers. Building a jargon for concepts that I cannot communicate is a lost of time. No one will understand me (maybe not even other spanish speakers) if I refer to a stack as a "pila". So yes, even with high quality content in other languagues, I stil be refering to english version.

That said, if in the future that status quo changes, and chinese dominate the programming world...well, then I'll be reading in chinese (and I will have a hard time doing so)

I think having a lingua franca have way more advantages than drawbacks. As a spanish native speaker, I know is easier for me that for someone whose first language doesn't come from latin, but is really not much of a hassle.

Even coming from one of the most used languages in the world (and having a just enough english level), is very rare that I search of read something programming related in other language than english.

I use a Glove 80 and I don't think I'll ever change keyboard model.

I think the combo of ortholinear, concave shape and multiple buttons for the thumb skyrocket my comfort level. Also, splitted to keep my hands at shoulder width is something I really appreciate.

But I guess that the key feature (that many keyboards share) is the ability to create multiple layouts. A dedicated numpad withouth moving the hand, a symbols layer, improve a lot the typing experience. I go with classic QWERTY with some minor tweaks, and is good enough.

I guess the key difference is the amount of branches that you can make at any given level.

Calling a folder citron instead of 2, gives room to have N amount of folders at that level instead of just 10, which I think is the constrain that made this system manageable.

Southern europe, that shame may happen if you dont prioritize family, but it doesn't happen with work.

In fact I'm prone to belive that informing others that you exercise/meditate/others instantly increment the perceived "value" and successfullness. Just like dressing good, but with actual health improvements.

I use a custom config on Dark Reader extension in all my devices. Having the same color scheme in all webpages are much better UX than what any web can implement by themselves.

No, but at the time we were using a monorepo for both backend and frontend, so is feasible to keep an action that checks that the models in the front and the back are aligned on each pull request.

It looks like your disenchantment with computing is more of a symptom of the other bad things going on in your life.

I just suggest keeping up with exercise and focusing on your mental health. If you are in a dark place, everything becomes dark.

Give yourself time to heal from the breakup, recover from depression, and I'm sure you will find joy again in doing your job.

Well that's exactly the stack I used for some internal applications in a job I had.

Is a little bit tedious to set everything together, but other than that, is fine.

You most likely will lost some good DX stuff like same types in front and back (like with using tRPC and the like), but in general is pretty good: logic in python, UI in js/ts.

Haha didn't know about this.

Honestly this is the tone that should have all release notes!

Not really. I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google so Im not sure how crappy is it nowadays, but in my experiencie I used a search engine about the same amount.

The major difference is asking first in a LLM instead of searching for a StackOverfow result. Other than that, not really a change.

But really, the one that had most direct impact in my life was Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall. Not in my vision of the world but in my lifestyle.

Wow, 8 months to achieve this animation reflects a sheer amount of perseverance.

I would buy a Glove80 again instead of going through the hassle of building my own keyboard.

Maybe I would lose some personalization, but I would keep my sanity.

I used Edifier WH950NB and I really like it. I used them every day for at least 3 to 4 hours for almost 2 years now, and they are like brand new.

Very comfortable, good sound quality (not an expert by any means) and the battery duration is good considering that I used them always with noise cancelling on.

It sounds good on calls and without ANC environment sounds are ok to keep a conversation.

PD: I realize this looks a little bit like an ad. It is not, I just like the product.
