That's certainly true and they are illegally working. But maybe your image of a student might be a bit narrow? There's a large industry in Europe of language schools. You pay the school/country a few thousand euros/pounds and in return you get a student visa + basic language course. Not all, but many students are coming from pretty bad places in the hope of somehow landing a work visa(Italy and Portugal will grant citizenship if you can prove ancestry for example). The friends of my wife that told me about their lives/this practice, none of them where working for "spending money".

I've only seen this happen to people on student visas that permit little or no working hours.

Fun fact about Deliveroo. A lot of your drivers aren't the registered driver. It's really common practice for a citizen or someone with a work visa to register and then rent their phone to someone desperate with no work visa. So your driver is often making almost nothing while someone else sits on their ass and collects cash for doing nothing and then Deliveroo again sits on their ass providing poor service collecting even more cash.

As newer generation C++ programmer, can confirm I'm guilty of writing things header only when they "probably shouldn't be". But it's not so much I don't understand the old way. Having everything in one file is just so much easier to work with. The price you pay for it is relatively low(for small projects like this library).

A colleague of mine moved to a senior position in Amazon Dublin about 3 years back. He quit in less than a year after being fed up with the ultra conservative attitudes of the people calling the shots there. He also mentioned they're pretty frugal when it comes to employee perks. Also you had to be on call two weekends a month. But it's a big company so maybe he just had a bad experience.
