The website for the embassy nearest to me just linked to here but I'm not seeing it: https://www.visa.go.kr/main/openMain.do
There's mention of a "Working Holiday" visa here: https://whic.mofa.go.kr/contents.do?menuNo=90&contentsNo=38
But it appears to be for working part-time in Korea, not as a digital nomad.
The one and only reason I am considering office depot as a place to spend my money is because they're local and I can go get whatever cable or thing I need, right now.
Monday morning, minutes before go live we do a couple more tests with staff and discover a critical timezone bug that if not fixed, we cannot go live. Even if our developers were able to quickly turn around a fix and skip formal QA, it still would be ~30mins before everything was updated and another 30 for us to do local tests on site...
So we went around and changed the timezone on every computer in the office. The day was saved, devs fixed the bug during their day, our night and we fixed the timezones the following day.
I've accidentally forgot to pay for things on numerous occasions, the self checkouts don't give you enough room for all your items so your cart ends up being a mix of paid and unpaid items. Multiple times I've went back in the store to pay for it. Sometimes I don't get home until I realize, the last time it happened I was already at my car and too busy and said screw it...
The other day the register kept ringing up my bananas for 0.03, it just wouldn't weigh them, again I said screw it and kept going.
They can continue locking up every item on the shelf too, countless times I've been deterred from buying things because I don't want to wait for someone to get me a screwdriver or whatever, I might as well buy it from Amazon if I have to wait.
A lot of their loss is self inflicted.
You're asking about "the terminal" which has an unavoidable amount of history baked into it.
I wonder if I'd have just started off immediately using something like Java if I would have been as effective? Early PHP's sloppiness (paired with early javascript) gave me a lot of flexibility and allowed me to learn things more deeply.
You can still make a significant impact by putting all of your effort into the highest impact things that are in your control. I wasn't trying to say anything about work-life balance. And definitely was not suggesting you don't put your full effort and best ability into it!
> my CTO is standing above me and won't move. If he could either move at my pace focusing on bigger problems than me, or get out of the way, I could make this work better for both my employer and myself.
Inside every obstacle is a chance to improve your condition. However, is this the obstacle worth spending your time and effort on? Can you get him to move out of your way? Is there any way that you can control that? Maybe there is, maybe not? Maybe you have to do some schmoozing, maybe some office politics, is that worth the return? You can see it as a challenge to overcome or one to avoid so you can maximize other efforts in other areas.
> Until then, I don't know what will be my life's work.
Do you want it to have been wasted on arguing with a bozo? Or designing and building something world changing?
I don't have the answer I'm just offering some perspectives. Wish you the best of luck!
Indeed, and that skillset has given them an advantage in the market. Things working as expected. Does it suck for their competitors? Absolutely. Is it illegal? I don't think so.
Anyone is free to fork android and make their own app store. A luxury thanks to open source. The network effect is real but the market isn't intended to be "fair", it's brutal.
That is to say, I focus on what I can change or improve and let someone else deal with the rest. I've put too much energy in the past on things I can't change, broken processes that everyone else is completely OK with, lack of testing/CI, horrible leadership teams, bad architectural decisions. If I can change any of those things I do, but a lot of time it's political and really difficult, you often have to "boil the frog slowly."
I also try to squeeze the absolute most I can out of the job to advance my career. Any chance I can to gain a new skill or improve existing ones, or just work on something interesting, that's what I'll do.
Take a look at the bootstrap examples: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/examples/
Find one that is roughly what you want or close to it and customize it until it fits.
I tried to watch a podcast on my tablet, while I was preparing dinner using bluetooth headphones and couldn't readily skip ads or fast forward the video. I was subjected to at least 3 youtube ads and maybe an equal amount of ads from the youtuber themselves it was absurd.
Even if I were to pay for an add-free youtube experience, it only culls half the ads in that case!
This is incredibly more difficult than it seems at first glance, having worked remote in asia for several years. I've visited Japan plenty of times but staying there (legally) longer than the permitted 90 days (for US citizens at least) is a challenge. I've looked at every way possible and for me, the only way would be to work for a Japanese company (huge pay cut.) If you've got enough money you could try creating a company in japan and availing the relevant visa but it's region specific, you have to have a physical office and at least one employee IIRC.
I really liked Firefox OS, was an early adopter using one of the ZTE Phones, tried my best to acquire an Fx0 while I was in Japan but they wouldn't sell me one without a phone contract, I also crowdfunded the matchstick that never came to be.
I'm not sure what KaiOS is doing with it now, they're not very transparent.
If a company already has an office near you they may just say you need to come into the office, they will not pay for your internet and electric bill.
If you drive into the office they don't have to pay for your car, insurance, registration, gas, etc.
I think CA had good intentions here, but I think it's going to give employers one less reason to hire remote employees in CA.
Because the US government has a money printer and an insatiable appetite for debt. The day will come for us, our kids, or our grandkids where it catches up to us.
