It seems that every software development job these days is remote. I'm early in my career and I'm finding it very difficult to connect with my colleagues. Do you have any recommendations for someone looking for more in person interactions?

I'm early in my career and I'm wondering how I can differentiate/specialize. I imagine that as you progress in your career, the differentiation becomes valuable to employers and allows you to stand out.

Personally, I've been interested in building full-stack and product-side of things, so I'm unsure how I can differentiate myself with these.

This point also ties in with what certain threads were discussing on the LinkedIn gig platform post from today, where they mentioned that in the long run development would become a 'gig' thing.

Hi all,

I find myself running into difficulties when testing and developing for time-depdendent applications. What I mean by that is that certain actions in the flow of command result in states that depend on previous interactions.

For example, how does Uber test their driver dispatch system, and corresponding notifications on the part of users when the driver is getting close to their pickup location? In here, the behavior of the application depends on the driver accepting a request, starting his ride, etc.

I find it difficult to reproduce situations where the previous 'flow' affects the current state of the application and it's expected behavior.

Hope I was able to explain my difficulties clearly.

Thank you!

Do you think Microsoft will find a way to recreate Apple's M1 success? They previously launched an ARM Surface, but that didn't really pan out. Will everyone be left in the dust by Apple?
