I don't ask challenging questions in interviews because I know I won't get hired if I ask them.

Sidecar is only possible if your Mac and iPad are fairly new models. Also, it doesn't allow one to use e.g. another MacBook or iMac as a screen.
I use YAM display[1] with a 2012 macbook and an ipad mini from 2015, which works great!
I don't think you can use another mac as a second screen though.

I am a full-stack developer with a strong background in building great software, back-to-front. I got my start building production mobile apps, web apps, and backend software when I was the sole developer at HungerPerks.
I am the kind of developer who gets things done. I am able to enter a situation, understand the core business & product goals, translate that into a software specification, rapidly self-educate and fill in any knowledge gaps, build, test, and automatically deploy useful software.
I have a prototypical background. I started programming at 15 and started a software company with my friends in college. We raised venture funding, and I built 2 mobile apps, a web app, and automated deployment infrastructure (knowing none of those things beforehand) by myself in 6 months flat. I communicated the development implications of business decisions with founders and stakeholders, supported customers, and rapidly iterated. The company failed to validate, so we moved on.
I learned a lot, and since then I've been building great mobile apps as a freelancer, but I'm ready for my next challenge. I'm looking for a team that is working on something cool and is looking to add a remote mobile, web, or backend developer (or all of the above!).
I also blog and help people finish their programming side projects at http://WeeklyProject.Club/

Alright, I have many thoughts on this.
In summary, this article says: "I like side projects! I have done a bunch of them, and here are the reasons why you should do them too:
1. You can make money
2. They're a gateway drug to entrepreneurship
3. You can learn new skills, including business skills
4. They look good on a resume/when networking
5. You can learn about yourself
6. Work with friends/make new ones”
I don’t think there is anything _wrong_ with this article, but I think it misses the mark a bit.
In my experience there are 3 reasons to work on a side project:
1. Learning- picking up a specific skill you didn’t have before.
2. Experience- doing more programming in total (making you more experienced).
3. Fun- sometimes programming is a fun thing to do!
I think if you don’t really hit at least one of those, you shouldn’t be doing side projects. On some days I take the even stronger position that unless you are trying to make a career change or you really find programming fun, you should not be doing side projects.
Making money can be part of it, but as the author says it can't really be the driving force of a side project. If making money is your goal, I would argue that that isn't a side project, it's a small business and should be treated as such.
It’s also worth thinking about what value you get out of which parts of side projects. You can hit all those goals without actually finishing and releasing your project. I see a lot of devs not bother starting projects when they hit all 3 reasons, because they don’t want to polish their project into a full product.
I don’t want to go off too much here, I blog at length about side projects at https://weeklyproject.club , and I wrote an article recently about this phenomenon at https://weeklyproject.club/articles/finish/
If we could have fast delivery with rested, happy workers, then I see no problem with the fast delivery itself.
The question is, why are people doing these jobs if they are exhausted and miserable? Is the pay good? Are the (flexible?) working hours better than elsewhere? Why is it preferable to other jobs?
