I’m in my mid 20s so I likely fall into the category of “pretty but lacks wisdom”. But from my experience speaking to folks over the age of 60, especially when it comes to discussing wisdom, has left much to be desired. I used to think and have deep respect for older folks (I come from an Asian family) simply because of their age, but over time I’ve noticed that they seem to lack intelligence and seem to have learned nothing from their supposed wisdom gained from their years on earth, which they seem rather eager to impart. Despite all their wisdom, they are incredibly gullible, less intelligent and more stubborn and their advices for the most part falls flat in the face of real life situations.
I don’t understand, so do they just collect which domains you visit and sell that data? How could they possibly find that information if I purely use a wifi network instead of my phone internet?
In the cases you mention, there is usually years of study (much longer than a CS degree) coupled with the fact that those exams you mention are meant to qualify a person to help save another persons life or their rights under law, not to optimize ad-reach by an additional tenth of a percent
Banks are where tech careers go to die. Expect to be caught in a myriad of "initiatives" that are all fluff. Remember, if you're not making the bank money, you're costing them money.
Always optimizing for Scalability. We are often taught to design applications and systems that are scalable even when they don’t necessitate such design. This introduces unnecessary complexity that becomes more challenging to work around. I am slowly realizing that applications often reside on a spectrum of correctness vs scalability and it is up to the designer to select where within that spectrum they expect their application to be based on the problem being solved and the business requirements

With a lower quality standing desk, you will notice issues with motor over time such as stutter or plain failure. They may also tend to wobble if you lean onto them at a height
I think this kind of architecture would be really useful when implemented alongside a dataflow based architecture where all requests can be "logged" to the database and read subsequently through stream processors
