This is exactly what I've been wondering... The developer page doesn't really provide much insight into things either. Other than their development environment is based on React Native...
If you want to see what it's like to actually drive an electric big rig, check out the Electric Trucker[1] on YouTube. He's German but has invested a lot of time in documenting what its like.
Same here! I always like to say that software engineering is 50% knowing the basics (How to write/read code, basic logic) and 50% having great research skills. So much of our time is spent finding documentation and understanding what it actually means as opposed to just writing code.
The lack of API doc's for the c version is kind of frustrating. It makes it impossible for someone to evaluate whether or not your library is suitable for something they need. Or if it is, how to use properly.
This is pretty cool. Just needs clients for iOS and Android and it would be a rock solid replacement for a lot of large enterprises, or privacy minded companies.
Privacy, data ownership and reduced reliance on public clouds were definitely motivations.
A Java/Kotlin client is certainly on the short-list. We recently added one for Swift. There are also clients for Dart, TypeScript, and C# in case you're more into cross-platform app development (Flutter, React Native, and Maui/Avalonia respectively)
I couldn't agree more. Yes there is some utility to things like Electronc and React Native. They are great for small startups that don't have the money to hire a team for each platform. Or they just need to get something that they can demo to investors. But really when it comes down to it, they should take some money and hire some people that can write the app natively.
Yeah they evacuated the entire town from what I heard. So there is no danger to any lives. I'm pretty sure the city has accepted that as long as no one dies, that everything else can burn.
I've been a software engineer for nearly 20 years now, and you know what I do when I hav the time? I blow glass. Honestly I enjoyed writing code much more when I was a teen and in college in my free time, but now that I do it 40 hours a week I need something else. Sure I have some programming projects I do outside of work. But they are needed for something else I help run. Besides now that I'm nearly 40, I have a house and family to look after. I barely have time to take care of those with my full time job.
About 15 years ago I noticed most devs w/ an online presence invariably had a side hobby they were quite passionate about - more often than not it was photography w/ thousands of photos on Flikr, esp. for those who spoke at conferences and traveled a bit.
Found some article discussing the phenomena of those engaged in knowledge work having a hobby like this, acting as a relief valve when things get too intense - whether up-skilling in knowledge or pushing through a slog of a project, or perhaps they're in a somewhat Kafkaesque situation in regards to political structures at work/academia to avoid burnout situations.
Been working with it for the last year or so and the looks are alright but I just completely loathe the way tkinter is designed... it just feels so old.
