I get 4 weeks, plus sick days, plus parental leave, various types of training days and charitable days, plus a 2 week carry-over and I’m neither American nor European.

I’ve been using vim/GVim for over 30 years; with only minimal tweaks I’ve used it with maybe 15 different programming languages/compilers, a few of which needed custom configurations written to do anything useful.
While everyone else is struggling to get on with the IDE du jour, I just get stuff done without having to learn anything new other than a new syntax and library set.
GVim is available pretty much everywhere? And it’s infinitely customizable.
It does have a learning curve, but then you get to use that knowledge for the rest of your life.
When I got into IT, I had years of experience with Mac OS, UNIX, a bit of IRIX and VMS, BSD and even a bit of Linux.
And then I spent 10 years mostly managing a Windows shop. I still ran OpenBSD on the internal support servers, but had to support a full Microsoft stack for anything customer-facing.
What will increase your hiring chances is being adaptable and having a portfolio of success stories to reference during interviews.
How many fingers do the dogs have?
It’s the sleeping dogs that lie….
It obviously was never going to be a long-term relationship then.
Two things: I’ve edged my grass with pavers fir the most part, and for the small bits that don’t have that, long handled edging shears you can use while standing.
The other bit is that I don’t have a rolling lawn that needs a riding mower; my grass is interspersed with local plants/shrubs/trees. Only takes 10 minutes to fully trim the grass bit during the season where it’s growing.
I’ve got a reel mower and lawn cutting doubles as exercise without noise or cables or bags. Just have to do it regularly.
But then, I also don’t water my lawn, so it’s dormant for large parts of the year, like nature intended.
The big one for me is: how do we preserve online games? The ones with a server-side component?
Even bnetd had issues, although I think that time is over; but what about when we the public never had access to the game core in the first place?
Yup, including for the largest “in production” regular expression….
It’s definitely a way to get your regex-fu to the next level, especially if you have people to compete against.

“\ “ and [tab] and * are your friends. I’ve been using spaces in Unix filesystems since the early 90s with no issues. Also, using terminal fonts that•put•a•faint•dot•in•each•space•character helps.
Me too… and my phone uses an eSIM!
Can’t do that off the top of my head, but this law firm probably could: https://adobeaudits.com/adobe-audit-faq/
It also disproves your original statements. Most clients won’t care in some verticals. Others conduct regular audits of themselves and all their contractors.
I know someone who contracted for the government and it somehow became obvious during a presentation that they had cracks on their personal laptop.
Their contract was immediately paused until they could provide provenance for all software they had on all their computing devices.
Can’t blame quarterly losses on pirates if there aren’t any….
Really? Both of those countries have tight controls over their intranets.
Kazakhstan, on the other hand, has done quite well with a similar enterprise….
