For someone with no experience installing and supporting linux I would recommend an 8gb Raspberry Pi 5 instead. Mainly because they are all the same and if the beginner has problems there is a wealth of information about that specific devic

This is interesting! I'm curious how you accounted for the layoffs at the FAANGs? They dumped a bunch of engineers on the market and anecdotally companies seem to be filling their hiring funnels without advertising. On the 3ed page the

The second list only matters once you've checked the correct box. If you go to a .NET shop and say "I've never used Microsoft products before but I'm a quick learner, look at these haskell projects" your resume is g

With 250 employees[0] and $20MM yearly revenue[1] a Buc-ee's can pull numbers a many startups would envy. I'd imagine managing all of that is not trivial. [0]: https://financebuzz.com/secrets-about-buc-ees-from-emp

This is a big problem in New Orleans, where short term rentals require a license. The hosts don't have that license so to keep the city from finding them they show a different unit and pull this switch.

It's the cost of failure that's different. If you loose a hackathon everyone gets a high five and goes home empty handed. If you loose at your job(in the US) you have no income, a very high COBRA payment, and possibly a major visa
