That is a very high volume, especially for being in development. Here are a few things we have done... * Use local machine learning models wherever possible. * Summarize and consolidate calls whenever possible (i.e. reduce token sizes

I have developed a few small games using Unity and one in pure Javascript but nothing commercially. I have never completed one. I never thought it would be financially lucrative so never took them as anything more than a hobby. Here is one

I agree with 3minus1, you should definitely know why you were fired. New managers seldom want to fire someone without cause and typically have HR hoops they need to jump through to do it. I have never let anyone go that wasn't first gi

I would love to see this happen. Netflix DVD is one of the only reasons I never suspend my Netflix account. We use it to get movies and other content that are not available on any of the (many) streaming services we subscribe to. I don&#x27

At that price it should land too (shout out to BPS)! I am shocked it took them this long to release a Falcon model. And no Falcon Heavy either.

The file system was designed to hold documents and does a pretty good job of it, there are several to choose from depending on what OS you run. Backing them up and restoring them is easy. An API to retrieve documents is trivial to write and

What is interrupting you? My guess is that your side projects and blogging are eating up more time than you may realize. Honestly sleep, work, eating, chores and general health and hygiene eat up the majority of a working persons week. If y

Yes, but it depends on how they are utilized and if they actually do the job as intended [by Scrum]. In my company the Scrum-Master also manages the team members as well as all of the normal Scrum-Master duties. I find that this gives the p

I used to use Squirrelmail and later HMailServer for a while. Both were good but I got tired of maintaining the infrastructure so I relented and switched to gmail for a long while. Finally I decided that something I use all the time is wort

If Scrum is failing developers in your environment, then it is being implemented wrong. Fundamentally it should give more control to developers, break down large tasks into smaller tasks, and help management determine better what projects&#

The higher up on the food chain the better your chances will be. I would shoot for a management role, assuming you are qualified for the role and it is something that interests you. Stay technical though so you understand the systems you ar

Convert an RV or large van into a mobile office and rent a place to park and power it... but really, for anyone interested, I would recommend investing in a home office. It is well worth spending a little extra on your housing if you need t
