    Software maintenance does cost a lot, it’s a full time job. Most people don’t pay foss or any at all ( winrar or total commander case ). Most people won’t be able to maintain or adjust foss on their own… Foss doesn’t work forever ( it’s a pain to deeply depend on foss which stops being maintained ). It’s a reality that 1 year fallback license is necessary evil











  • Software engineering is dying in Switzerland. It’s flooded with layoffs from Credit Suisse, UBS, post covid Google and other faang layoffs in Zurich. IT almost doesn’t exist anywhere else in Switzerland, maybe except from Geneve CERN. Elsewhere they are job positions reserved for swiss if you can play swiss politics and speak Swiss German ( which you can learn only by being raised there )… I spent there 5 years and recently went back to Poland ( I speak both English and standard German but still … dont bank on this that its enough )










  • Nothing interesting for 99% population. Tech blogging is the hardest stuff and most tech youtubers pretty much stopped contributing. What’s the point of sharing knowledge if any gamer on twitch has bigger audience than you maybe 200 - 300 live watchers and it’s the a good number of viewers for a very well known polish security researcher ( ex Google ). So you know why social media is going shit
