Would you recommend using Kotlin or Java?

Would you say it's worth getting into native Android development as a junior or they only want seniors to fill these positions.

Would say working on backend projects with languages C#, Java, etc... a good idea if it's not possible to get work experience?

I would do those projects, add them to my cv and apply to backend roles for example.

This is exactly what I'm asking about. You hit the nail on the head.

How would you go about demonstrating that you're a dev that do things properly in your resume?

Considering the code I wrote for work is in private repos, would you have to create an open source project to demonstrate this to future employers?

I have noticed that there is a lot of competition for frontend/full-stack jobs where the tech stack being used is JS based (JavaScript/TypeScript, Next.js, React, etc...).

In your opinion would developing a skillset in another programming languages like Java, C#, Golang or even going deeply on SQL would increase the likelihood of finding a job because of less saturation.

A related question : If you have experience working in a specific tech stack (programming language + specific frameworks) but want to target jobs involving another tech stack, how would you go about demonstrating competence on this new skillset in your CV?

Will adding personal projects with a Github repo do the trick?

EDIT : My question can be boiled down to if "is it even worth it to stay in JS anymore" and not "how do i become a well-rounded individual" like it has been understood by some commenters.

Thanks for making this. I think this is a great idea. I've often come across interviews were I had to solve a problem using React and didn't know how to prepare myself for those kind of interviews.

Is there a point where those AI models could plateau and adding more parameters or data will not improve them anymore?

New comment by nassimsoftware in "Electron Fiddle: Get started with Electron"

nassimsoftware — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 02:35:35 +0000

A reason to keep using Electron rather than Tauri is when you need to make sure the UI is going to be displayed the same way on each platform.

Tauri uses the OS's native webview which means that there can be differences in how the DOM is displayed. It's not the same browser engine being used for each platform.
