It doesn’t really matter… My point is that we’re still in a world where such projects are highly unlikely to become sustainable, no matter how popular they get.

10th most downloaded Homebrew formula and the maintainer makes ~$600 / month. Not very encouraging for people who are thinking to follow the same path…

I was thinking of exactly the same album when I saw this post yesterday :)

By the way, while it’s not really metal, you might also like this live version of Sarah Brightman’s - Fleurs Du Mal: https://youtu.be/cOllWAhZhXY. It was filmed in Stephansdom Cathedral in Vienna and I went to visit it after seeing this video. It’s really impressive!

Re:Ask HN: Where to Work After 40? on Thursday January 02, 2025 @12:20PM (#42576351)
I worked as a software engineer on various unrelated products since 2007 (mostly SaaS backend and infrastructure, some desktop apps etc). I can still do it, but I have been yearning for many years now to transition to a career in research and spend some time in academia. I switched to open source freelancing last year and now I’m looking for some way to get myself into a PhD on computational biology focused on cancer immunotherapy. Would be cool to work as a research assistant for a bit before I embark on that path.

Sure, and all I'm saying is that it's possible to have a software engineer career without putting yourself through such tests. Yes, it's harder to find decent jobs, but it pains me so much when I see people giving up after years of effort just because they're not aware they can get hired and practice what they enjoy doing without having to pass such tests.
