  • A lot of it is vaguely described. I could probably apply and argue I meet all of these as it depends on what level of experience they really want.

    Communication skills - whatever, many jobs asks for this.

    Data migration and APIs - HR don’t know what an API is but I have setup software that uses them and I can copy data from a server easily with rsync.

    SQL - I passed a SQL test in an interview despite having never used or seen it. Only had some HTML, CSS and bash from a few home projects. Now used SQL a fair bit.

    Cloud - yep, used GCP to run a factorio server when I didn’t have Ethernet for a stable connection to run a server

    Train staff - generic, sure.

    Deploy security solutions - yeah I can probably install an antivirus.

    Software/hardware/user issues - I worked in a computer repair shop, got that coveted.

    But 100k USD isn’t enough of an improvement over 29k GBP. I’ll stay here thanks.






  • Wish I thought of that. What survives is what I will grow next year is a decent way of finding out what grows well. I did plant a mix of things in different spots though.

    So far best vegetable crop is rhubarb. Nothing else even really compares which is a bit annoying because I do want to grow more than just rhubarb. But at least it is a start I suppose.

    May look into more fruit, usually I forage for plums, apples and blackberries which are incredibly abundant. So growing it in my limited space feels a bit like a waste of the space I have.

    Kale would be nice but kept getting eaten. Maybe I need to get nets for it, don’t really like plastic everywhere though.




  • Rhubarb is over £10/kg. In a single year rhubarb plant should be able to produce a few kg of rhubarb.

    At least that is what the internet tells me, I only got it a few months ago so the yield so far is zero. Oh and it keeps growing year after year and I plan to multiply it to grow even more. Tough I might buy a few more rather than go with just 1 so its a bit faster to get a decent sized patch of then. I also plan to make rhubarb wine and mead. Which is worth even more.

    Herbs are worth quite a bit too, grow them to make my own herb salt mix for roast potatoes.
