As a native Portuguese speaker I found it very useful when I started to learn English. And even nowadays having some form of “visual map” between English and Portuguese at least for more erudite words - which tend to be the ones that are shared between more languages - helps me write English better.
The similarities between English and German also ended up helping me learn German.
Going by how ortography changes have gone in other languages, I doubt it.
Besides English, if English fix its ortography it’s going to become much harder to learn for speakers of other European languages - as confusing the pronunciation rules and exceptions are, they are caused by writing things similarly to other European languages while mangling the original pronunciation.
I count 5 languages and 8 countries for OTAN and 3 languages and 5 countries for NATO, so if anyone is being entitled and not respecting the plurality is the anglophones.
The worst is the exactly wrong amount of smart. Dumb people usually have a limit to the damage they can do.
I use it as my own personal “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”, and follow up by explaining I’m strongly motivated to find the simplest and most reliable solution for any task.
If the rest of the CV was ok, I would fill that cover letter as a positive in culture fit.

Vim and VS Code are both text editors that can become IDEs with plugins. You can use vim with language servers if you want, as there are plugins for it.
Transactions are for people that make mistakes.
And analytics. And offloading as much computation to the client, because servers are expensive and inefficiency is not an issue if your users are the ones paying for it.
I did and I don’t use subdomains for mobile. Have you tried being good at it?
You mean the Russia-lite in the room?
“The Trooper” intensifies.
What would be the modern equivalent of doing an uphill cavalry charge against artillery? We all know the Brits can’t win wars without doing at least a major blunder.
Being and remaining alive is almost by definition a battle against time.
Sure if you ignore that keeping track of time predates capitalism by several millennia, and that the unrelenting march of entropy doesn’t care about what we think regarding the economy.
Things getting blown up below the horizon doesn’t make for good cinematography.
You’ll still need to buy the games to get the assets legally. EA is just checking if they can offload the modernization of old games they don’t want to remake to the community to keep the revenue stream going without having to invest on it.
It’s a win-win situation if it works.
*below mediocre manager.
Even the average HR person can see a large scale roasting in a work environment would be a disaster.
