Hmmmm. I've got a bit (enough!) of an idea what you're driving at. I hadn't thought of that.
Yesterday, I was out with someone buying some sheepskin slippers. At one point of the interaction
I said that if Jule was to get the peach-coloured pair, that she'd be like a pig in the brown stuff.
 Immediately, the sales girl mouthed a frown. Undisturbed, I laughed and said I was talking about mud..
Hehe, that's twice in a couple of days.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Couldn't hurt. But what would make a new job compelling isn't a huge pay raise, crazy fast dev hardware, or awesome perks (although they would be highly appreciated); but sane management, reasonable customers, and less all around BS.

According to data cited from SlashData, Flutter is now the most popular cross-platform development framework, with 45% of cross-platform developers choosing to use it. Now with even more fluttering
Oh good - Flutter for UWP, just as Microsoft is moving away from it.

If technical ability rises across the board, will application development become an expected skill set for tomorrow’s digital workers? If everyone is a developer is anyone a developer?

In this article, we’re going to look at how different groups of Windows developers will be able to adopt Project Reunion. We’ll also look at how Project Reunion, coupled with the Uno Platform, can be used to extend a Windows application across iOS, macOS, Android, Web, and even Linux. "Future events such as these will affect you in the future."

When using an external closed-source library, it can sometimes be useful to understand how it works and debug it like if it were part of your solution. External tools no longer needed
Assuming you're using VS 2019 16.5

Meh. Any programmer worth his salt will debug directly in assembly language, or at least in the IL.
