You have to be careful with the interpretation of the graph. It tracks the number of files where all tests pass.

I often find interesting books on the book lists from Bill Gates (https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books) and Derek Sivers (https://sive.rs/book).

And of course there are many good recommendations here on HN in book-related threads.

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a long break (~10 years), during which I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market. But in the end, I failed to make it sustainable.

In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) at an engine research company, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a high-growth web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.

For my comeback, I have been learning Rust the last few months, hence I'm looking for a job as a Rust developer. I'm also open for opportunities that are unrelated to software development, but where my background could be useful.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a very long break (~10 years). During this break, I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market, but in the end I failed.

In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) in the industry, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.

For my comeback I'm looking for a job as a Rust developer (if you have a "return to work" program, all the better). On the other hand, I'm also open for opportunities related to what I did the last 10 years.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a very long break (10+ years). During that time, I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market (sounds fancier than "reading most of the time"), but in the end I failed. Meanwhile, programming took a back seat, and I often didn't do much more than the annual "Advent of Code" challenges (in Haskell, resp. Rust last year).

In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) in the industry, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.

My focus right now is on returning to software development in a backend role. However, I'm also open for other opportunities as I'm currently at a point where I have to reinvent myself anyway.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi,

Are those jobs open for remote-only from Europe (outside of Ireland/UK)? The postings listed as remote say they are remote in North America only, and the European postings just say "this work can very easily be done remotely".

What skills do you want to improve?

Thanks for this link.

I guess the resources there will keep me busy for the next few years: "all of this together takes our students at least 5 years of intense study".

Yes, it's simply for the sake of curiosity, and I don't intend to getting into these fields. My goal is to bring some structure in my learning, because currently I just pick a book here, a book there, and that doesn't feel very effective.

I guess looking at the curricula of some good degree programs is the way to go.

That's not true, population growth in Switzerland has been above 1% since 2007: http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/en/index/themen/01/02/bla...

In Switzerland there will probably be a voting about introducing a basic income. At least if the initiators manage to get 100'000 signatures for their initiative until October (so far they have about 90'000 valid signatures).
