It would be cool to do some evening shifts at a restaurant, for the novelty and the social aspect (compared with staring at a screen all day)... plus the work is cognitively very simplistic... quite relaxing compared to corporate life. The problem is, if I have a day job as an engineer, my regular income puts me in a high tax bracket. So, not only would I be earning close to minimum wage, I would be taxed at the highest tax rate on the minimum wage... so it really would be a waste of time. Progressive tax rates are what makes it unviable for high income earners to pick up a weekend or evening job.

Because there is a fiscal deficit which requires borrowing, which means that new money is created. If the new money were spent only in the USA it would cause prices to go up a lot, so the money goes overseas so that the price increases are more moderate (arbitrage). Why is there a fiscal deficit? Because politicians want to win elections. If the fiscal deficit were ended then mathematically there could not be a trade deficit.

Yes, it works. The "git flow" blogpost is cancer.

The faster you can deploy, the faster you can deploy fixes. Also note, you can always roll back bad deployment.

But, using a trunk branch (eg master, main, whatever you want to call it), doesn't mean you can't support a variety of release schedules. You primarily just feature flag the elements that aren't scheduled for release.

1. These prices seem extremely low. 2. Your calendly links are broken.

Why not tell it, "I only want the regex, don't give me the entire solution. I'm doing this to learn, please don't spoil the assignment for me." Anyway, if you want to learn regex there are many interactive regex tools online that you can use to iterate on.

Nice game. Good difficulty curve to be honest.

Wide events are good, but watch out they don't become "god events". The event that every service needs to ingest, and, therefore, if there's new data that a service needs then we just add it onto the god event, because, conveniently, it's already being ingested. Before too long, the query that generates the wide event is getting so complex it's setting the db on fire. Like anything, there are trade offs; practical limits to how wide an event should reasonably become.
