I had an interview like this, I got annoyed and just responded with "I don't know" to all of his questions. Then the CEO of the company offered me a position, politely declined ofc
I love claude, but looking at google it seems like it will just be a matter of time before Google/Gemini will be a better product. Just looking at how much Google have improved their AI game the last couple months. I'm putting my money on google, I assume the reason they are doing an IPO right now is to be able to cash in on the investment before google surpasses them.
What fixed it for me was to stop consuming caffeine. One month after removing caffeine I noticed my sleep got waaay better and my ability to focus got way better. I feel like caffeine gives you a false sense of being alert and focused when in reality you are exhausted.
Props to encore to writing interesting blogs, also I just want to say I tried the encore product and it's awesome(I only used it for a hobby project but still)
I actually don't use GraphQL in my current position, so I don't think to much about it any more. Intresting tools which I might consider in the future(If I have to write GraphQL).
I enjoyed reading the book "Building Microservices" available at https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/building-microservices-.... The book covers various aspects modern software development, such as observability and resiliency. Despite its title, the book is not exclusively focused on microservices, and the author does not unequivocally assert that microservices are the ultimate solution.
I would also like to add that our taxes are rather high on income but very low on dividends from business. If you own a business you take out a salary which is under a certain tax bracket and then pay yourself dividends using the company profits which is very lucrative. It adds incentive for you to start a business.
We also have a good startup ecosystem, if you are going to start a startup it helps if you have worked at a startup and can bring your experiences. Germany to me feels much more like a country of enterprises compared with Sweden.
For the Americans, we don't worry about healthcare, saving for our kids college fund etc. so we might have more risk tolerance due to this.
I switched to firefox since it has ublock origin as a plugin on phones. AFAIK chrome does not hence browsing on my phone is useless with all the ads I get using chrome
RiF is still working for me, I can't login but I can still read. It's pretty annoying tbh, I got a feed that I absolutely don't and I can't comment posts. Other than that, it's still much better experience than the official app(I'm salty af)
2. Start contracting anything north of 80$ will give you a really solid income
3. Through your business give yourself a ~45k SEK a month salary
4. Pay yourself dividends from the business profit. You pay very low taxes on dividends
This is a model many many SW engineers in Sweden follow, also running your own business it super simple and for finding clients you can use bigger contracting firms(AFRY) which will take a % of your hourly salary.
