It's hard, and it's even harder if you're looking for a remote job. I've been trying to land a remote position, and I have applied to over 500 job postings in the past month but have never made it past the interview. I'm looking for other comments in this thread for some tips.

I tune into my playlist when I feel sleepy or dizzy

I have 4 too

Depends on the kind of animations. If they are Lotties (basically JSON files), you have to rely on lossless compression algorithms (gzip/brotli). I'd recommend Cloudflare, imgix for images (imgproxy by EvilMartians if you want to self-host, its open-source), or use object storage such as a S3 bucket (quite inexpensive).

As a developer, I always check https://caniemail.com for feature support.

It's hard to predict, but I believe Threads from Meta might sunset within the next 5 years (I might be wrong here) along with the wannabe Twitter rival Bluesky, and I'm very uncertain about the future of Twitter/X. Also, I believe that all those low-effort ChatGPT-based AI products will soon become obsolete.

At my startup, I'm using Rust (Warp, Actix), RabbitMQ, tonic (gRPC), Redis, Postgres, Go (a small portion), React (TypeScript) and Next.js

Skiff, for cloud storage and free mailbox on my own business domain.

We use "our blogging platform to blog on our own platform". It's similar to Medium but with the paywall-free and collaborative features.

Yes, I have been working on adding a newsletter feature to user blogs. The product is available at https://storiny.com.

I usually write about programming: https://storiny.com/zignis

I'd not use it yet for photorealistic avatars, but they work great for something like a sketch or even a pixel-art (only for non-professional use).

I've never had the opportunity, but I'd love to relocate aboard. The only reason that haunts me is homesickness.

Not until Mr. Musk tries it on his mother.

Seeing how the AI industry boomed with the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 (less than 2 years ago), I feel we'll see major changes in the industry in the upcoming decade. Regarding AGI, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. The relevant technology is still in its infancy stage and requires a ton of supervised learning on bulky machines.

To fix my horrible typos in emails and assignments.

I use macOS. By the way, you mentioned that you use iPad and iPhone; they run on iOS, not macOS. They are two distinct operating systems.

Depends on what I'm building. My very first choice is Rust - performant, safe, clear and concise.
