   The spec is super basic, so I would do the below in a weekend (for an MVP): Frontend: * Use a pre-built React theme (maybe MaterialUI since it has a basic login page already). Make a few tweaks where required. This will probably take 5ish h

   I completely agree with that. However, it's not always possible to go down the rabbit hole of inherent human rights during a casual lunchroom conversation while you're making a coffee. These "quips" have their place. Hop

   I like this argument. My normal response to "I have nothing to hide" is: "Cool, can I take a look at your browser search/reddit history?".

    I hope that's the case, but I have trouble seeing a future where centralized applications (mostly Facebook, Instagram, and iMessage) will be thrown aside by the masses. People still use Facebook after multiple proven privacy scandals.

    I was in your exact shoes. Like multiple others have said, Git is everywhere and you could be hurting your career by avoiding it. I bought a physical book (Pro Git, which is also open source: https://git-scm.com/book/en

    It depends what I need. If it's just basic REST, I reach for Express.js. If I'm working on a more advanced prototype, Django.

    Australian here, so sorry if this is a stupid question. I read PTO as paid time off. Does this include public holidays (e.g Christmas, New Years, etc) or is PTO excluding those? In Australia, we get roughly 10 public holidays per year (depe
