That'd still be a bargain. Many unions in Iceland pay 75% of psychological help, glasses and exercise subscriptions by doing some collective bargaining magic. They also provide "time shares" type of vacation bungalows and more.

All on top of higher salaries, better working hours and working conditions and will provide legal assistance in case of wage theft which my sister had to use one time.

Basically a quality of life upgrade that pays you money even though it may not say so on the pay slip.

But like, why?

Union payments in Iceland are like $20 per month. I'm pretty sure union workers get at least 20 cents more per hour than non union workers to break even.

You can launch steam games from terminal pretty easily.

Browsing can be done with Vimium on Firefox.

Just tackle the times you touch your mouse one issue at a time and you could try putting the mouse in a different room to create a small barrier between you and using it.

It's a solid mid tier place in a high tier country transport wise. Japan's infrastructure gives still a lot of leeway to cars even though they're a small minority of the public. It's safe to walk there but it's not what I would call pleasant.

Spring on Jupiter is a bit windy

I don't think vigilante violence is a good idea but if some of the murders in the US are targeted at billionaires instead that's fine by me. If the system wasn't fucked this wouldn't have been news.

Not very engaging and hard to care about the characters. They put so many characters and fight scenes that it's hard to care about a any of the even if they technically killed half of them.

I have KDE Neon on my Laptop and Bazzite on my desktop/server but I want to switch it up a bit.

I'd like to get a TuxedoOS laptop with specific hardware fix and I'm also thinking about EndeavourOS these days to try out for a couple of months.

For the server I think I'd probably to just go for Ubuntu because it's piss easy to manage because of the experience I have with or just the Fedora KDE. I really like Bazzite though for all the batteries included.

I prefer manufacturer Android on my phone but I hate it with a fiery passion. I have an uncommon Xiaomi phone and the memory management is abysmal where they kill activities almost instantly after they go away from view. I like it because the battery life is amazing. I'd prefer to use LineageOS but it's not supported on my phone.

Clean Code, in overly idealistic and speaks like it's the holy truth but ideas are generally good. Same with Clean architecture. The guy talks like it's the only way but in my experience it's just a collection of tricks you could do but maybe shouldn't because of time pressure. One off code with a single purpose doesn't have to be that clean and functions almost never have to be that small.

Pragmatic programmer is also good and there are also more books on non-programming part as well. You could also ask ChatGPT since it's really good at exactly these questions.

Still, no use reading this until you ran the gauntlet of building up basic programming skills :)

My journey went codecademy -> codingame -> quitting my job and going to university -> first job

I went to University to get more problems to solve after grinding codingame and decided to overkill them and had fun while doing it. I remember Mars lander, it was really hard, hahaha.
