Been tinkering with web dev for the past 5 or so years. Went back to school and recently completed my BS Computer Science in nights/evenings while also working a full time job. Currently working for a small SaaS company as an Internal Tools Developer. Looking for a gig where I can work on something meaningful. Open to position at any point of the stack.
Open a brokerage account and put small amounts into whole market index funds each pay period. That way you are nearly guaranteed to have something in there in 10-15 years. There's really no way to know if BTC will be worth 0 or 100k/coin in that time period.
Shouldn't the assumption at this point be the opposite? Nearly every smart device ever released has either shown ads or tracked your activity and sold that to the highest bidder. Buying a streaming device and expecting the opposite at this point is crazy.

Currently working for a small SaaS company with a jack-of-all-trades type position (customer support, web design, web development, bookkeeping, etc). Looking for my first 'real' engineering gig. Open to position at any point of the stack, though I am drawn toward the back-end and database layers more than the front-end.
It's funny how a form on a Mozilla website asking you to add your voice to the chorus pushing Apple to move forward with the IDFA privacy changes has a form that asks for your first name, last name, email address, and country. None of which are optional...
I'm not a public repo maintainer. I have just my own personal repos, but I will say that for me Hacktoberfest has been only a positive. I think my first ever PR on someone else's repo was because I was spurred on by Hacktoberfest to dip my toes in. Since then, I've become more and more comfortable with git and Github.
I mean Epic, Spotify, and Tinder are wrong here. Apple built the hardware, and the distribution mechanism for software on that hardware platform. Apple has been a closed ecosystem from day 1. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone and they all knew when they decided to create apps for iOS that they were party to a closed system where Apple are the gatekeepers. Don't like their rules? Then, don't do business on their App Store. Simple as that really.
What happens if you are fine with those parameters, you build a business on iOS, and then apple decides that it wants to be in your business, so it makes their own competing app default and non removable? Then it adds hardware functionality to help its own software, but locks the hardware from you, so your business suffers? This is exactly the Tile example on the linked page.
If that happened to your business, would you say "well we always knew they are a closed system, time to pack up and go home"?
If you create an app in a closed ecosystem knowing full well that this is Apple's world and they can do as they please, you shouldn't be surprised when they do as they please.
This whole issue is children screaming because they broke the rules and Mommy and Daddy have put their foot down.
