Everytime someone in the EU shares their salaries as a programmer someone always compares it to US salaries.

Please stop. It's not even the same system

It assumed we
1:all wanna move there
2: all can move there

I don't wanna make 250k while most people work three jobs I wanna give back, im okay with that

My mom had cancer on minimum wage back in Portugal and we didn't pay a fucking cent

Some of us don't want that much capitalism.

My mom is allergic to most medication because she had leukemia a couple years ago and it made her allergic.

This means she cannot take the vaccine.

Her only hope of never getting COVID is herd immunity

If you can please take the fucking vaccine! Seriously I wanna visit my mom next year.

Also my mom is fine except this, we don't want any condolences, we want you to take the vaccine

And wear a mask, for the love of God! They make you look way cooler

Buy a black one, you'll look emo

Okay y'all I wanna share my experience downloading tik tok and if your are an iphone user know that you do not need an account on android to use this app.

So I downloaded it and all was good and I started seeing portuguese content

I mean I am portuguese, it makes sense no?
👇 That's where it gets weird

I downloaded the app in Germany, with a phone bought in Berlin and connected to the wifi in my house that's also clearly from berlin.

I saw no German content and I don't speak German

I finished my book 🎉🌈

Sometimes it feels like you need a literal map to navigate the React ecosystem! In this book, I share all the stuff I learned over the years and my opinions about pretty much everything

"The Opinionated Guide to React"

📖 opinionatedreact.com I go through folder structure, styling, state management packages, TypeScript, and all the things in between.

There is also a very big chapter about hooks and explaining them.

I have recently found out I most likely have ADHD and that does explain a lot of my life

ADHD friends, what resources do you recommend for me to understand my brain better? I should say I have no issues focusing on code since I fucking love coding, so 80% of the time actually working is not an issue because I like my job and actually get hyoerfocused

Let's talk about racism in Europe

In Portugal arround the time I was growing up there was this widespread rumor that if you as a child went alone into a store owned by chinese people they would steal your organs.

This was a thing!
Most kids parents would not let kids go alone Tell me again there is no racism in Europe

It's everywhere, don't act mighty for being European

Two things to clarify:

Since who I work for is from the Netherlands. It means I am a small company

Because I make more than 50k and have public health insurance I pay 843 Euros every month of it and that makes about 10k a year

This will be an appreciation thread for the Cologne Airport Look at this pretty boy

Some things added/fixed on CodeSandbox in the last couple of weeks we haven't announce anywhere.

A super thread 👇 Added support for `netlify.toml`

This means you can deploy functions and everything from inside CodeSandbox. Also added TOML language support. You can even see your functions in the sidebar

You know what I think is dumbest thing ever? People who tell you you shouldn't compare your salary with your peers and that you should know how much you are worth. I don't know how much I'm worth, most people don't
👇 I never had an programmer friends growing up and my mom makes minimum wage that is about 550€ in Portugal so when I was in an employee I thought I made a shit ton of money because I made almost three time what she did. I didn't fucking know
