Maui!

Lol

I bought a chromecast with google TV specifically for this purpose, with it you can download “SmartTube” and watch youtube completely ad-free

You lost me at Nazis lmao

Please don’t water down the word

Microsoft open-sourced all of dotnet core, which is arguably the largest and most well-maintained (with exceptions) collection of tools/platforms for developers that exsists to date. So, I don’t really agree that they’re just “making face”

This just isn’t true though lol, python is one of many.

I just dual boot

It’s perfectly fine to stay, just saying you don’t have to buy it haha. I bypassed the CPU restrictions to upgrade to win 11 because it had updates that I genuinely wanted, like tabs in file explorer etc. It’s genuinely fine, as long as you move that damn taskbar to the left

It’s a free upgrade

Where are you located? Personally I am located in Sweden and have some tips and tricks here, but my knowledge is limited outside here sadly. Personally, I applied to a coding bootcamp and worked my way up because I knew for certain that I wanted to become a developer, and didn’t want to mess with the “other stuff” that a university program implies. I had some very limited previous experience with coding. Most countries usually have something more “job specific” and shorter than a uni program, and in that case I would recommend something like that!

Most important of all: Please just DO IT. I worked as a lathe mechanic for years longer than I should have. I was just scared of change. Now, I am happy every single day to go to work, because I remember how hard my life used to be. Take my advice and don’t be afraid, if you feel like a job in IT would fit you better!

As someone that used to be a blue collar worker but now is a software developer, people like us REALLY need a reality check. Working from home is a privilege that most people will never experience, and I am forever grateful for having the opportunity.

I used to use Mac with rider on my last job, and it worked nicely! Sadly it’s not really an option working with legacy stuff

I’m a .NET dev, I wish lmao

No not edge, firefox!

Case in point

Lmao we’re still as capitalist as ever. Americans have a skewed sense of what capitalism implies due to your super-duper-mega-unregulated-corporation-shareholder-moneymaker3000 type of ultra capitalism

They seem to have them in stock for a week about every other month or so, I usually skim through their newspaper to see if I find anything interesting

If you tie your shoes using the “runners knot”, which most sporty shoes are designed for and eliminates heel slip, you will have a hard time getting them on without a shoe horn or having to re-lace them every time.

You won’t find a house in Scandinavia without a shoe horn, it’s fascinating how rare they are in the US and most of Europe
