Technical/Non-technical skills: * Off-grid energy production (Solar, etc.) * Food production on a small scale * Homesteading * 3D printing * And all interfaces of that with technology

Most people don't think about that. Once they realise things change, Brazil also uses Bitcoin a lot because of a lack of trust. Pix would be even more widely used if the government took longer to start using it as a weapon (as it has already done)

Pix has become virtually liquid cash here in Brazil. We use it for everything from tipping a waiter to buying an apartment or house in seconds.

Before the release, when I read about the system, I was skeptical, but after its release (approximately 5 years ago), it has worked seamlessly, and adoption is now nearly 100% across the economy.

Can we change it to unblock only when I do 10 pushups? I would love to get that to my Nephew and Nieces phone

Same here, I know Prime tho. I really looks fun, but sound scary

Your point about the decommissioning is right, this is a hard topic that should be teach for sure.

I am a little skeptical with documentation fully written by AI will not became too verbose

I struggle to see how any open-source project would accept this kind os PRs, the tools seems ok for research, but not a good ideia to push PRs like that open source projects.

I have to say, the maintainers handled it with grace though. Didn't sass the company for it or anything, politely declined the PR, closed it, locked it and moved on.

It reflects back on them really well.

I've never used Spring Boot, but I have to give them credit for this. I don't know that I'd have similar restraint

Spring boot is one of the most enterprise-y frameworks I’ve used.

I’d be surprised if their team wasn’t incredibly professional.

Agreed. This seems like rather shameless advertising at the expense of the labor of the project maintainers.

The comments are worthless too.

Things like a method called Foo that takes a Bar so the comment says (in 3 or 4 lines)

“Foo takes a Bar”

Wow! The future is here!

Elixir is going in a very interesting direction, it may be the Language to I will learn this Year

The work on the type System seems to be going well and the work on machine learn is starting to get attention

I never correlate my growth with the company I am working for; sometimes, you overgrow the company, and it is time to leave.

"Pays okay; 100% remote; very few meetings; low standards for productivity mean I have great work/life balance" seems like a perfect workplace.

What you need is probably a project outside of work to challenge you. I built my own company 13 years ago as a side project (I still run it up to this day as a side project) because I was a Mobile developer and Would like to keep doing Web development.

Today, I am having fun with my Open-source project https://github.com/mateusfreira/nun-db. When I have too many meetings or fight fewer coding challenges in my work, writing my own distributed database keeps me fresh and challenged. With it, I learned Rust and also distributed systems, which made me read books and papers that would never be needed for my normal work.

I see that as growing, and it has brought me great opportunities. Times these side projects become companies, and you make money; times, they bring job opportunities that you would not have otherwise.

You should leave a company when your growth is faster and more than the company can take in. Meanwhile, use the low pressure to go after other challenges personally; that is my way of dealing with it.

Thanks for all the great work; I hope no one has an outage this holiday and has time to enjoy family and alone.

Keep up the good work, folks
