Everytime someone in the EU shares their salaries as a programmer someone always compares it to US salaries.
Please stop. It's not even the same system
It assumed we
1:all wanna move there
2: all can move there
I don't wanna make 250k while most people work three jobs

being "familiar" with some topic really means knowing enough to know what/who to ask for help

It's easy to fall into a trap of going "oh no everything is interconnected and I have to fix everything if I want to fix everything" when instead you could be thinking "Yay there are so many positive feedback loops here that fixing anything makes everything else better".

“This means that Apple knows when you’re at home. When you’re at work. What apps you open there, and how often. They know when you open Premiere over at a friend’s house on their Wi-Fi, and they know when you open Tor Browser in a hotel.” 😞 sneak.berlin/20201112/your-c…

programming only requires "a certain kind of person" in the sense that you have to sit/stand in one place and put up with 8 straight hours of bullshit. which fast food workers are already better at

I feel like 90% of software engineering is spending time answering the question "How do I get at that bit of knowledge that I currently need?"

A 5-step process for nearly anything:
(1) Explore widely. Find out what is possible.
(2) Test cheaply. Run small, quick experiments. Sample things.
(3) Edit ruthlessly. Focus on the best. Cut everything else.
(4) Repeat what works. Don't quit on a good idea.
(5) Return to 1.

We focus so much on HTML, CSS and JS...
It took me a while to learn, but clients, start-ups and business owners don't really care what technology we use, or how good or bad the code is.
They just want a website and something that works.
We should try and understand that more.

What happens when you’re stuck on a problem?
Do you dig deeper for a solution?
Or
Do you give up and try something new?
— hint the second option doesn’t work IMO you never make real progress. I’ve found curiousity to be a friend through the pain. Then the solution a reward.

Lesson I'm slowly learning:
Waiting to reply because you don't have an answer yet (or you don't want to share bad news) makes the situation worse.
Silence frustrates and confuses people. It's better to say, "Hey, no update yet. Still working on it."
Try to over-communicate.
