As someone with a newborn, thank you for sharing this!

Very slow on a gigabit connection and I’ve seen some network errors. Something is going on.

I would also like to know why. I’m at the salary limit for my role essentially everywhere other than the US and so I’m considering a move.

One easy method, move. I changed country but I need to keep working the same hours so now I get up at 5am The long afternoons/evenings makes me feel like I have the whole day.

Nice one IRS, try again next time :-/

No

I made the decision to keep programming strictly as a hobby and go into a related field.

Some backstory - I started programming at a young age in the early 90s, I was building basic sites by reading from books before I even had internet access. That continued throughout my teenage years, coding almost daily on a range of software and languages.

When I eventually got to the decision on what to do for university/college I decided to go the business route and not CS. From a programming perspective I was confident (arrogant) my local educational institute couldn’t teach me much (I was already helping others on their coursework) but mainly I didn’t want the enjoyment I got from programming to be sapped away in a day to day job.

For me it was the right decision and instead I landed in product. I get to work with engineers and I’ll happily have technical conversations where necessary but for me I still get to enjoy programming as a hobby and I don’t think of it as work.

The fact they would do this at all is what stopped me from using the browser the first time around. More for the reason, what else would they do to make a profit.
