No way. I reduced to 30 hours a week and I’m never going back to full time. I use the extra time for my own projects or other things that need to get done. Such a huge improvement in quality of life.

The butterfly keyboard was pretty terrible. They continued selling the model for years before finally removing it. Customers didn’t get any recourse until the recent lawsuit, but that only applies to certain US states. Apple still denies an

I have been a Mac and iOS developer for 7 years now and am moving away. I feel like Apple treats developers really poorly from App Review process to forced updates of your hardware/OS/Xcode.

I don’t have any numbers, but some job postings will say full time, part time, or will have a minimum number of hours they offer. Some will also give a percentage range of hours they offer of part time to full time. If the posting doesn’t s

It’s already common to work part time as a software engineer here in Germany. I work 30 hours a week (6 hours a day) and have 75% of a full time salary. I actually get the same amount of vacation as full time since the vacation is based on

I have a 2018 Mac mini and have problems waking it up from sleep. It was significantly worse when using the HDMI port on the Mac mini, I would get snow on the external display. Switching to USB-C eliminated the snow, but it still takes a lo

Use Yattee, it blocks ads and improves your privacy. I have a developer account and just resign their ipas to install it. Looks like you could install it via TestFlight as well. https://github.com/yattee/yattee

I also had the opposite experience. I used Sourcetree for a while, but the performance became really bad, so I switch to Fork and have never looked back.

For me the biggest change was to switch to working part time. I now work six hours a day instead of eight and don’t get mentally exhausted. I have energy to work on my own projects or do whatever with the two free hours. I don’t ever want t
