European Commision's laptops run on Windows 11 and then they need to pay for AWS to do any kind of meanigful work... And then some devs still pick Windows to run on AWS anyway!

Same experience here. I too bought Keychron M6 and have the same opinion, it feels like a supermarket trash device.

I now have 4 Logitech mice, two went through RMA for failing buttons, the other two failed outside of warranty period. I know that I can fix those myself, but I'm also too lazy to do it. I'm not buying another Logitech, but I also don't know what will I buy next time.

I can lock in into almost anything that interests me in any way and most things that just have to be done. The problem is always starting and not being pulled out of it by some distraction.

IT people hate computers.

This. Sometimes it's enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.

I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.

Rarely, but it happens.

But I can't shake off the feeling that in most cases recruiters completely misunderstood or misrepresented requirements for the position to get me to the technical interview stage. Like scheduling me for an interview with a team heavy with functional, big data processing while I barely have any purely functional experience.

Non-technical people doing recruitment work is a scam.

My project is doing 12 of those. Guess who has another job interview round next Friday?

Whoops, I fixed the link.

I was at first slightly hesitant about recommending this channel, but InRangeTV (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUNM9NqJqZXfRNeuW4_2sg) is a clearly supportive channel and they do showcase guns. They did collaborate a lot with Forgotten Weapons in the past. I'm mentioning in case that's something you don't like.

How is FW a fascist? I'm genuinely curious, I've been watching this channel for many years and didn't catch any hints. But I don't follow him outside of YT at all.
