A bit off-topic: is only my experience or usually full stack developers are paid less than a frontend/backend engineer ? seems like full stack developers are seen as generalist and so paid less.
I am observing that I am getting much more opportunities once I have changed my role from full stack to front end developer. I think recruiters want experts in one field rather than generalists.
Smaller teams find more value and flexibility in generalists, whereas larger teams are more likely to want specialists. Larger teams typically belong to larger companies, which have more resources and offer higher salaries than your typical startup.
Is not a e-visa...it called e-residency and simply is an ID card for use all the estonian services(like: open a company, pay taxes, open a bank account etc...)
It NOT GIVE a work permit in EU and of course not give a permission to travel in schengeng.
It's simply an ID card. The main difference is that:
- Normally in other EU countries for have an ID card for services, you must live there, while with e-residency you can do have and do all the stuff remotely.
- It's pretty useless, you can google it and see how had a lot of hype, but in real case uses, it's useless (example: yes you can open a company remotely, but if you don't live in estonia, is a mess with taxes...and having an e-residency, doesn't give you a valid visa for live+work there...so often you can't move to estonia to work, even if you have a company opened in estonia)

Pheew, I thought I was the only one with this opinion, given the hype there is about this thing all over the net.
To me the whole stuff seems a lot like the plans of the gnomes in South Park (but in five steps):
1) get an e-residency (please read as "pay us some little money")
2) establish an Estonia company (please read as "pay us some more money")
3) open a bank account in this or that bank (please read as "give our friends a little more money")
4) ?
5) Profit.
The only practical use I can see is to create a new sort of Double Irish:
You definitely aren't the only one with that opinion. If you've visited the card's homepage or tried to register for one, you'll have realized it confers almost no privileges.
Most popular libraries these days either include their own typescript definitions, or the definitions are available vie @types (it is as easy as npm install --save-dev @types/library-name)
If on the off chance that no typings are available, you just write a simple namespace declaration (usually a one liner) and start using the library right away, albeit without smart code sensing / completion. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22842389/how-to-import-a...
I saw that you're from dublin but you looks asian. Sorry for the question, but is important for understand better your situation:
You're a eu citizen or you're on visa ? because could be that companies can't afford the visa cost(money and time)
You can legally search for a job in all europe ? if yes,
send cv to companies in berlin, london, amsterdam too.
Have you tried to send the cv the Kings or rovio ?
Maybe you should learn nodejs/react and try to get a job in different eu countries.
He seems to be quite above average, the issue is the ratio hubris / math skillz still seems improperly balanced.
If my sunday psychology profile is correct, he seems to be passionated and fast to hack around and displeased by big corporations business model + slowness + suboptimality. Thus trying to dig diagonally on his own without the enterprise cruft. So far so good, the issue is that it seems he's lying about his abilities. He managed to do 20% and spins it as 70% claiming he'll be at 100% before everybody else. Without independant testing and legislation of course.
Cruise had lane following and smart cruise control, which everybody in the industry has and can be bought as an option on many high-end cars right now. They hyped this heavily and GM bought it.
That was surprising, because GM had a good self-driving effort with CMU, and had progressed to driving in Washington DC traffic autonomously.[1] That was way ahead of Cruise, and working in 2013. Then, somehow, GM totally blew it and lost that project, with the people going elsewhere.
Every Toyota comes equipped with lane following and smart cruise control. They call it Toyota Safety Sense, and even the lowest priced, $18k Corolla has it.
That's great for software that runs on your computer, it's not so great for software that runs on a car and can kill people. Regulatory bodies exist for a reason, onerous though they may be.
Edit: I'm actually curious now that I think about it. Are there any good examples of hacker projects (or specifically projects that aren't intended to make money or pay people's salaries) that had to deal with any sort of regulatory hurdles?
This is a depressing comment. I'm assuming the parent comment is talking about GNU, Linux, the variety of userspace software from Unix times... not node.js template systems.
Linux didn't become particularly useful or relevant until folks spent a whole lot of very businessy time and money on it. That's why RedHat even exists (not that they were alone, but they survived).
GNU wasn't hackers in the meaning of 2010s hackers. It took smart individuals and years to come up with something tangibles. Same for Linux.
I cannot compare anything in the casual software world, no matter how complex it is, to driving a car in streets. It's bridging physics and AI. Maybe hotz has a point and other SDV module vendors are as fake but that's irrelevant.
