Working on the data structure feels like an intermediate solution on the way to that ai which is not really necessary. Or am I missing something?

Heard it the first time when an American from California said it to their kids

I would optimize the car choice for the 90% use of daily commute instead of optimizing for the 3-times-a-year vacation trips.

- We were able to make 300km with 90% to 10% battery (to not hurt the battery longevity too much)

- Outside temp was -4 to +2 °C

- Inside temp set to 20°C, seat heating 2/3 for two passengers

- So a we made a charging break every 300km, so approx every 2-3 hours

- Recharging those 80% at a supercharger takes about 30-50min depending on the Supercharger-version.

- We had 0 traffic/wait times at the super chargers (we drove both directions on a sunday)

- We would do a 10-15min break anyway every 2-3 hours to grab a coffee or do magic pee, so the extension of the charging breaks over our normal breaks aren't event that long

- All superchargers had a <5min detour from the Autobahn

Overall we spent approx. 2hrs more on breaks as we would have with a conventional car. I think thats a fair trade-off for 2-3 vacation trips a year, figuring in the time saved for normal refilling stops with a non-EV cars during commutes (when you are able to charge your EV at home).

To me, the future of "driving into holiday fully electric" is already possible with a Tesla LR model. With other EVs without Supercharger-Access/smaller battery/slower charging speeds probably not so much.

You can even save more time by using tools like ABRP[0]. This even gives you better charge-planning with shorter, time-optimized stops also figuring in detour times.

I am from germany, and the avg. salary for a decent senior dev here would be between 60 and 80k€ depending on the town you are living in.

Babel is a very complicated piece of software. Even as a senior dev I wouln't feel comfortable to lead-maintain it. You wouldn't find more than a couple of ppl. in Germany who have the skillset and mental strength to maintain a project like that. And those few people would easily be making 150-250k€ as freelance consultants.

I think that 11k$ for maintaining one of the most important OSS projects in the webdev world is more than fair.

If you are already good in react, learn more libraries / frameworks in that ecosystem and increase your day rate. You are a frontend architect now.

I'd start with things like nextjs, Gatsby or Redux saga.

You could also go into the devops side of Frontend. Learn the different approaches of deploying / scaling a Frontend with server-side rendering (vercel, digital Ocean, docker...)

The 16" runs at 67°C with 2500rpm when doing the same task. So its neither quite nor cool doing basic tasks. You can turn of turbo boost to get around it, but I was expecting something in the same ballpark in terms of coolness and fan noise for basic tasks without tweaking stuff like this myself.

Tried a bunch of dell and Thinkpad devices. Configured a t480s with ubuntu. First meeting where I had to share my screen and I recognized that Chrome is not able to share a dedicated screen of my three monitor setup. You need a script for that, which creates a "fake" webcam, otherwise its only possible to share the three stitched-together screens.

Those are things, I just expect to work out of the box without a script or pulling two monitor cables everytime I want to screen share something.

Bought the 16" Mac a week later, also not happy with that because thermals are just bad, but its better than having to script simple things. Clients don't expect you to "have to script something real quick" during meetings.

As long as Linux does not cover ALL trivial multi media usecases, I don't see myself making the switch.

We are a non-profit and our main goal is to make pricing of masks and other protective gear more transparent.

Looking forward to reading your feedback :)
