I thought I'd give him a treat - or annoy him 'cause he missed it, I'm good with that too!

Any thoughts on what would be the best way to develop for Windows, Android, iOS, MacOS, and Linux with as few technologies as possible, especially using HTML-CSS-Javascript?
I like Electron(electronjs.org), but Electron doesn't support Android and iOS. I'm thinking Electron for Windows, MacOS, and Linux desktops while using React Native for the mobile devices.

How heartless! It's nice and warm in there! And then someone comes and drags you out into the cold again.
My poor mother had to live in fear for years that a Texas rattlesnake might pay us such a visit. Never happened, but her most fearful encounter was with a tarantula that was still cold and stiff from the night. She poked it with a short stick to chase it away. Until I told her how far a tarantula can jump.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I have expertise on such creatures, so I know exactly what it is.
It's "lunch", if you hit it right.

OMFG! Did you not say you live in Holland? There are no notable snakes there! You probably have snacked on someone crawling home after smoking the wrong weed!

Nope.
I did live in Holland for a while, but now I live in a different province of The Netherlands.

usually even driving over pythons that large wont do much damage,
so when it comes to "hitting it right" I would suggest minimally a shotgun or 44 pretty much point blank to the head, anything less and YOU would be lunch.

Are you suggesting odd driving would do more damage ?

I start studying for the CSSLP certification exam. I plan on taking it no later than the end of March (maybe earlier).
I'm only doing it because my job requires it (my personal opinion of certifications is that any half-aware monkey can pass the tests, and the only reason we have to get them is because someone in the government is getting kickbacks). Test is 4.5 hours, and costs $650 (artificially high price).

No comment..... not disagreeing but still. Microsoft has so completely f'd up things why anyone would want, correction, need a cert in MS anything boggles my mind.

Requiring a certification indicates to me a position I would not want.

My last position required a MCSA cert. I got the cert but was still not given admin permissions on our db server. Why was the cert needed? Because the federal government still doesn't know how to write IT contracts.
The CSSLP is "Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional". It's a *management* cert that all federal contractors and civilian software developers must get. This is the DoD 8570.1 chart. I have to have Security+ (I already have this) and CSSLP.

Certifications helped me get my first job. It was a way to show employers that I could code even though I had no experience yet.

The only reasonable thought I came up with for "me" to get anything certified from MS would be something along John's answer - contractual. Or perhaps I might learn some secret back door feature that would help me solve a customer problem. Doing battle with MS for the last 10 years, it is evidently clear why my customer is rapidly accelerating away from MS and heading to Android. I'm sure there is crap over there as well, but maybe, just maybe a little less of it.
Microsoft reminds me of Digital Equipment in it's denial phase.
Sorry, I'm ranting...
