I did. Having been used to working on Linux, I found it so painful to work on a Windows laptop, only to deploy the same software on Linux. I'd rather have my local setup close to what we have in production, Linux based OS.
I am currently in the market, and I reject any job offer where I know that the company is using Windows.
VCS could be a proxy for other issues, a (non-code) smell if you will. A company that calls itself a "startup" but is using SVN and PHP 5.6 (actual company that I evaluated and turned down last year) is not likely to produce a productive environment nor happy, satisfied workers.
I wouldn't put either the VCS nor the laptop OS as a mandatory requirement, but rather as another straw on the camel's back.
This is obviously a super subjective question, but from my own personal experience I have had a lot of friends who actively refused a job or didn't apply somewhere because of a particular tech a company used (I won't name which but they are very common ones which people "dislike") and then on the other hand I also had developers reject an offer which I made when I was a hiring manager because of laptop/OS enforcement. I also know a lot of people who don't care at all, but it's not uncommon that someone doesn't take a job because they let's say would have to use Windows 11 when they have been developing on Linux for over a decade for example.
I had to work in secure environments where we had to use Windows and no possibility for local admin, it can very much impact the desire and ability to do the job
I suspect these signal other attributes about the stack. If you started a project recently, you very likely considered and chose git for version control. If you are using a different/older system, it could mean the project has lots of legacy code and hasn't kept the dev stack up to date. I.E. poor developer experience.
Same is true for opposite perspective: "framework of the week" could also signal a poor fit.
laptop OS would definitely be a factor for me. Maybe not a deal breaker if the rest fits. The general tech stack matters to me, but some things are more important than others. The VCS would probably not make me reject the job unless the VCS is "main_final_1ab.py" ;)
There’s numerous videos pouring in of individuals going into local businesses to harass and threaten employees while flaunting they aren’t wearing masks.
These individuals likely don’t represent the majority. But it doesn’t feel like just a few bad apples.
Story time: It depends on the hardware at your disposal. I'm now on the new T-Mobile Home Internet service, the router+wifi device supplied (a Nokia 5G LTE based unit with a SIM on one side) firmware has basically no configuration - you cannot assign static DHCP, no bridge mode, no port forwarding - it has UPNP on or off, that's it. A truly sparse webUI, frustrating no-config device at 1.0 firmware level that doesn't even show you what the DHCP ranges in use are. My G-Shock watch has more configuration options than this thing does. :-/
Could you elaborate on what part of the maintenance would be messy? I was under the impression that maintaining this would be quite easy because there is no physical server present anywhere in this setup.
Not OP, but I think you should be fine. It can get messy if you're using it as a backend for an application that may at some point have different versions in the field (or dev/testing/staging) so you need to support multiple versions of your APIs. It's not impossible, but it can get messy. If anybody has some good rules/frameworks to organize that kind of thing, I'd appreciate a reply.
While the high price of an A7 probably slowed new customers rushing to Sony over Olympus I think the primary reason customers stuck with Olympus was "vendor lock-in" with lens mounts. People likely bought multiple m43 mount lenses to go with their Olympus or Panasonic. A customer would be more likely to buy another one of these brands if they had an existing lens collection over switching to the A7.
Note: I am reluctant to use the term vendor lock-in as the idea behind m43 was to have multiple camera manufacturers adopt a common lens mount. The fact that Sony and Canon have their own mounts is a net negative in my opinion.
I have no strong opinion but I really hope that the fact that the US is not dense, and people are not very tactile, compared to European cities will help us.
From my experience in Germany, it's 50/50. There are fake human reviews (Vine Club being a large part of it...), but there are also clearly auto-translated reviews (though they might be posted by humans). It's mostly on low-price items that are FBA'd or shipped directly from China.
yeah, real humans blast past captcha and enter real heart warming text about how great the product is but don't mention they are being paid to write this review and pretend the product is good. Let's tackle the real issue and like connect wires from the human to the computer and like lie detector style measure their blood pressure, heart rate, sweat, or...
