Favorite? Kotlin generally speaking, but I use Python the most and like it quite much as well. Can't beat Python's time for zero to something useful running and you will find bindings and frameworks for anything.

C++ for anything performance sensitive, or running anything on my Synology NAS.

Yeah very common in Spark world, but haven't seen it used much elsewhere.

That approach could work in the past, but it won't now. Now we have the internet when even people shamed by their family or neighbors will find support and like-minded individuals. We are only going to be more divided in the future.

Certs for me can be a net negative - if you have one, I expect you to know shit. An answer of "I don't know, but here's my take on it" is a good answer in my book, because we can't all know everything and I'm generally more interested in attitude and thought process than pure knowledge. But that changes when you are certified and brag about it on your resume. That bar goes higher, for no apparent gain to be honest. Example: if you have "certified AWS Foo Bar" and you don't know what a vpc is, that's a red flag for me. It wouldn't be otherwise, even if you had AWS experience listed, because maybe you were just working with ECS and didn't need to know jack shit about vpcs.

About the only situation in which a cert is a plus is when you have close to zero relevant experience. But all of the above still applies.

There's this https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquickcontrols-material.html available as stock style. I don't know about "You" variant of material design, so I can't really say if that's it. There are a couple of style implementations on GitHub as well.

Qt QML works for me. It's declarative, easy to learn, looks good, you can write logic in JavaScript, or have your code on the backend in C++, or Python with PySide. You can easily iterate on the desktop and run the exact same app on the phone, or TV. It's fast too. And given you want to go open source, licensing is not a headache (unlike closed source on LGPL Qt).

Generally it's been my UI of choice for years and I'm pretty happy with it, now with excellent Python support even more so (though I don't know how, or even if, it's possible on mobile).

I use a single dot when committing to a feature branch. I will either rebase or merge --squash anyway, so what's the point really.

e: in my private projects that is, I use a jira ticket number at work, because I have to.

Has no one here ever worked on a new project or even a new feature in a decently sized codebase? Working exclusively in maintenance / minor change mode has to be exhausting.

Same boat. Nuh uh, you're not promoting me. I don't want to have to deal with offshore support, meeting 6 out of 8 hours, making sure Jira board is up to PM's standards and only reading code when any of the devs have an issue they cannot solve by themselves or something breaks. I tried management career path and hated it with all my heart, quit when they wanted to promote me higher. Let me do what I enjoy, I'll deliver.

Bonus points - developers make more than managers up to 2 or 3 levels up where I live, so it doesn't even calculate.
