Right there with you.

Mikrotik.

pick a single platform to build expertise in. start coding. don't change the platform.

Or precious metals

Duh.

Uber owns a huge software platform. Checkout how much it costs them to maintain it.

That's one of the funny things about accounting…

In some countries development costs can be captalised, and the depreciated over future years (when that software is earning revenue)

Sort of ignores the fact that software is always a depreciating asset from the time you first start writing it

> Checkout how much it costs them to maintain it.

Thats Operational Expenditure (OpEx) not Capital Expenditure (CapEx) usually. Unless they own servers, or bought licenses to software, etc.

It's science!

To learn a language, read and understand its specification. Then learn the tooling and libs that come with the compiler. Then just start reading other people's source from wherever while you write your own stuff. Reading the standard lib is helpful, ad is reading the source of any framework, but you have to know the language spec well for it to make sense.

It's much more productive to just start writing and reference to the spec (if they have any) along the way than start writing after reading the spec.

We'll see in another ten years

100% of employers lie during the hiring process. What's your point?

and if people don't lie they are going to be superseded by liars?
