London has a special microclimate and pleasant weather all year around. No extremes and less rain than other parts of the country.

True. Generally whatever niche interest people have, they usually can find it in London. As a fellow passenger old lady once put it on the tube: "London might not be the prettiest but certainly the most interesting city". Though p

Agree. Meanwhile the number of cars noticably decreased. Lower noise, better air, significantly more cyclists. The 20mph speed limit certainly helped to achive this. (Too slow to move around with a car.)

Yes. By that age people getting tired of "being managed". Large companies have more management positions though. What should someone 40+ do at a small firm? Start again at BIG Co as developer and wait 5-10 years to become manager

I agree with you that inexperienced (lower paid) or young developers might find the US attractive if there weren't visa issues. The older better paid ones, maybe with families even, would probably still choose the social safety of Euro

The US and California in particular lost it's appeal. 20 years ago it was the dream destination for many. Now, even some Indians steer away. I don't know a single European who would want to live in the US. Not even from Eastern Eu

If you invest time learning Erlang everything around Elixir will make sense and it will be a pleasant experience not only to "write" but to test, debug and maintain as well. I would go through this slightly dated but gentle introd

One problem/feature with email is that that new collagues do not see historical conversations. While the typical chatroom is searchable.

AVAAZ is similar. I supported them monthly for years with a small amount, then this year I wanted to direct my funds to some other cause and they asked me to send an email explaining why I wanted to cancel my monthly payment. Luckily my car

Actually BEAM and Erlang pre-dates Java. ;-) As for compatibility: why is Java 8 market share so high in 2020?

Perhaps AWS Certificate Manager certificates are deliberately large so more outgoing traffic can be charged? Interesting idea from the post: "it could be a selling point for a Certificate Authority to use URLs that are as short as poss
