I do like apps that have sensible export formats though. Having control over my data is important.
WS auth is horrible though and a bearer token (and tls) in the header is definitely the way to go.
I get that this also is technically a 2FA bypass but the cost is extreme and its really hard to impersonate someone in real life.
"It’s very unlikely you will end up with a hundred categories." -the page
Exactly this will result in about 20-30 folders for most, with any real amount of documents some folders might hold 100-1000 docs.
The advise you should take from this is that forcing structure is useful. Look att large code repos for example.
But I decided that I wanted more so I let my hobbies grow a bit and changed employer. Sure I'm not a million miles from where i was but I'm not in the same place.
Once I took the first steps the next got easier and I started to look for more opportunities. Find your first step, it should be small but in the right direction. Ask to take lead on something at work or push yourself in your hobby.
What I think everyone with kids should have as one of their goals is to get them one step up the ladder. Give them a slightly better chance than you had. Most successful people have successful parents, very few start from zero. My parents were middle class but I'm upper middle class.
But I agree that there's something other that's not ok. Compromised client (probably a computer) or a compromised router is my guesses.
Most business have one here in Sweden and almost all public places like train stations, malls, hotels have one. Most taxis carry one to and can be alerted by 112 (the SOS number operators, 911 in the US) if they are close. Rural areas are the unsolved problem that these drones might help with.
Most projects backend seems to be more complex but backend also get more slack. For example if there is a DB performance problem there is usually a DB-team to help with tuning.
Front end ppl are usually more on their own, since its expected they will have easier problems. That's not always true though. Some orgs are adapting and adding css specialist and design roles to enable more technical front end devs to focus on that.
That said web frontend has had a wild ride the past years. But its really starting to stabilize now, around a few core frameworks (react and angular for example). Sure there is still forks and revamps but its not the big world changing differences (like going from jQuery to react was).
I have not lost a file in 10years. I have a NAS with backup to the cloud, nothing fancy just a single drive NAS with automatic rolling backups. Important files go to multiple clouds.
It also would be a lot harder to profit from ads when you have to pay for lte bandwidth especially with the prices in the US.
I would however love a smart tv with an open stack where I can control the software.
