Readit NewsI really hope apps like Ente can step up and get better and native, offer desktop backup + sync both as well. But then there's always the chance that Apple will just find a way to shut them down. or reject their updates, just like they did in the past.
Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait and see what else they manage to screw up with this "move."
This was weirdly exciting and depressing at the same time :)
What are the chances in trying to go for a non-STEM Masters/PhD (or higher studies in general) in Norway (or one of "those" countries) after studying E for UG and then working in E for more than a decade (in the third world) and having no other experience at all? Or anywhere for that matter? Is there a way to go about it? (Now, this might sound entitled, and I apologise if it does, but without having to pay (at least) tuition for that higher education)
But really though, just show up to the interviews, sometimes you're a shoo-in and don't know it.
You said you’re not truly passionate about android dev but you have a lot of experience and you’re good at it.
Maybe there’s a company doing something you like (like maybe you’re a fan of some sport and it’s major league has a job for android dev) or on a mission you resonate with. I’m sure being interested in the mission or product is just as important (for both parties - you and the employer) as being good at android dev. I feel like being a good dev is the baseline, and the rest is the icing.
Hopefully you find the right next job that is a good fit for you.
Best,
Thank you!
I really get tired of working with pretenders, because it is exceptionally clear to everyone else when they are pretending. Just be who you are. If you want to be better at something than you are then dedicate intentional practice towards it until you naturally raise your confidence.
I was laid off for six months last year, and likewise the break proved to be very fruitful for me even if depressing at first and stressful at times. My very best suggestion is to refocus not so much on your prior capabilities, but if you actually want to keep doing that or try something new. I was able to change careers from 15 years of JavaScript/full-stack developer and it has proven amazing. My prior leadership and management experience is actually valued now, I am learning new things, was recently promoted, my time (even during office hours) is highly respected by my leadership, and more. If you change careers or try something new where you are not experienced your compensation might dip at first, but if it increases your happiness it is absolutely worth it.
What did you change to if I may ask? Did you change while you were still at a company, or took the new job/role in the new tech/domain as the first job after the gap? I recently cleared an interview at a startup (all rounds) for a backend dev role but they offered almost 60% of the last salary I was getting (let alone a raise), citing I have zero experience in backend so they will give me slightly above beginner salary.
You seem to have landed in a great place to work. Congratulations!
With 13-14 years experience I'd say you're still in a really good position despite the job market. Demand for senior people remains constant and platform experts are also in high demand while web development absorbs a lot of the entry level developers. There are less positions for mobile but also far less competition.
If only Apple had made reporting of such problems transparent I would have reported this.

And then nothing substantial after this proclamatory hot-take. So let’s just choose to believe le ai propheté.
It’s like quick instructions to PR team style written post (and then asking an LLM to inflate it) from the comforts of a warm and cozy Japanese seat.
Definitely not written by Genini at least. Usually does a better job than this. Well, at least like Zuck he eats his own food that he killed.
Will be looking forward to titles like “The Vehement Duality” &c in the near future.
