Yes sure, already after a few months doing production support and reverse engineering instead of coding, you start getting questions on interviews about why are you not coding lately anymore.

This was a bad look, because hiring managers want active developers for coding positions. I ended up not even mentioning that the position did not involve much coding on later interviews, I left after 6 months.

You are put in a tough position because you will have an entry of 3 to 6 months on your profile, which is generally a red flag for hiring managers as it's too short.

An entry with a full year or more will not raise any eyebrows, but 3 months will. Also, because you leave against their will, they won't give you references to the next jobs.

I did end up leaving it was a real nightware, and never looked back, but to this day I feel that I was flat out lied to on the interview about the job content.

In other interviews at other places, I was left out critical details, like for example that the team is moving to another city in two months, and you are expected to go with them.

So this why I say, you never know what you are getting into with software consulting, it's a shady business.

With the high turnover rates and the difficulty to find developers, hiring managers are incentivized to embellish otherwise mundane positions in the interview process, leading to unmotivated staff and further turnover.
Notice also the decidability of primality in polynomial time, which was proved by some Computer Science graduates (Neeraj Kayal, and Nitin Saxena) in 2011, and led Bombieri (one of the leading experts on Number Theory) to say that Number Theory may have gone astray in theoretical complexity in some fields.

I have only seen it happen in WPF apps with "programmer art", delivered without having designers in the team.
Rumour is Snapchat is one of the world's biggest repositories of child porn, and they don't do much about it because it's mostly sent by the children themselves and core to their business.

I would estimate 100 million pictures of underage genitals go in or out of Snapchats account on Google servers every day.

Google nearly kicked them off the platform for it, but money spoke too loudly...
Since I became aware of it as an issue, which is almost thirty years ago, it seems to me that the question of Europe has consumed a hugely disproportionate (relative to the importance of other matters) amount of time and people in the UK political system.

To answer your question, other issues in society don't get the airtime and deep attention they deserve.

SpaceX are planning on launching a lot of satellites - 2800 Ku/Ka-band satellites at 1150km and 7500 V-band satellites at 340km. Both will be capable of steering a 1.5 degree spot beam.

I'm not saying that you're definitely wrong, but Starlink is designed to provide a truly phenomenal amount of throughput. The V-band VLEO constellation is clearly intended to serve urban areas.

Higher pay than consulting its hard, a consulting job pays usually almost twice as much as a permanent job.

I prefer it to permanent, because besides the monetary aspect you can also get into new projects just starting out more often, and that is were you learn more when compared to maintenaince projects.

What type of opportunities would you recommend other than consulting?

China only bans foreign companies in its domestic markets. Trump is dictating whom third parties can do business with. For example, European firms have to cut normal business ties with huawei, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the US. And the US isn't paying for the cost of breaking their contract with Huawei.
MovieLens [0], by far, my favorite movie recommendation engine, says that the dataset it was based on [1] contained "2,811,983 ratings entered by 72,916 [users] for 1628 different movies". By comparison, its current biggest published dataset [2] contains "20 million ratings and 465,000 tag applications applied to 27,000 movies by 138,000 users. Includes tag genome data with 12 million relevance scores across 1,100 tags".

On a side note, if you like discovering movies, I can't recommend MovieLens enough. Its accuracy and ability to recommend obscure movies still blows me away. On top of all that it's free, as in no subscriptions or ads, and it's developed and maintained by "GroupLens, a research lab in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota".

Usually if someone vandalises an old painting, the gallery attempts to restore it to how it was before; the need for new, modern artworks is fulfilled by different paintings elsewhere in the gallery.

If someone slashes a Rembrandt, people would be aghast if you suggested Banksy stencil over the damage or Hirst submerge it in formaldehyde, no matter how modern and popular those artists may be.

Of course, there are various reasons one might argue the same rationale doesn't apply to buildings.
It doesn't give you much of a rush anyway.

It is certainly a national security issue for China (and the world) to see that the US Government is able to 'flip the switch' on so many critical tech so easily.
Except Kotlin isn't Python, it's Java with modern syntax and coroutines.
Yes its insane LOL Managers were non-coders themselves, and they looked at developers with suspicion.

This happens in a lot of projects, where developers are almost treated like children or assembly-line workers.

I realized through small hints and queues over time that the goal was to take over the maintenance of the project and make sure that we could fix things if something broke, but not add any new features.

They even had a management term for what we were doing. They called it KIR - Keep It Running! LOL
I was looking on how to legally watch Game of Thrones here in Belgium.
It's pretty complex to figure this all out.

Basically you got to have a set-top box of at least 54 euros/month, and add 12 euro's extra to watch certain extra shows and movies (which includes Game of Thrones).

I found a solution without set-top box, but then you stream it on your mobile phone, and somehow need to remotely show it on your TV. This solution is 100 euros/month since it includes internet, tv, mobile provider, etc.

So yeah... I have Netflix, I have Spotify. I never need to download MP3's since they are all available on Spotify.

For movies and tv.... yeah...

And then people wonder why torrents are still so popular? Because it's the most convenient, not because it's free.
i'm sure 600+million collected can help to stabilise it... or where did that money go? ....
I'm also in the "breaking things down doesn't really help" camp, so while I recognise that it works for some people, I do think it's possible that "just break things down even further" isn't necessarily the right approach for everyone. A possible explanation for this is that when tasks are truly bite-sized, the regret of "I could have finished X this morning" just gets more intense. And actually, having some slack time and some time spent standing back and reflecting turns out to be really important to me in itself.

The thing I find most helpful is to make sure that there are always several parts of the system that I'm actually working on. This means I've got a choice of what to work on today (autonomy!) and can somewhat context-switch my way around the awkward bits (which sometimes get less awkward after a few days on the back burner). Don't get carried away with this (spending all your mental cycles deciding what to do next won't help, either), but it's worth a try. It's one of the things that makes me love largish solo projects.
they are planning on putting it back with mauritius as it was before.
