Personally, I’ve been happy running a Linux droplet (VM) on DigitalOcean. Costs me around $15/mo.
I have experience as a Linux sysadmin but I feel like administering a server is easier than it used to be with generative AI to help figure things out. There’s lots of good documentation now!

I kind of assumed they were marked like national parks here are or something, but is it a bit more arbitrary than that?

My understanding is that metal detectors aren’t illegal in Ireland, but using them to search for archaeological items without permission is! Non-archaeological use should usually be fine.

Yeah, basically: “Are you human? What’s the name of the person you’re trying to email (which is mentioned several places in the form and site).

The honeypot field is a neat idea.
What I did on my contact form that eliminated 100% of spam is that I require people to fill any variant of my name into a field. I suppose this could confuse a few people, but if they can’t figure that out, I probably don’t want to hear from them anyways.

Going with your real name always seems like a safe bet. I think people know it and it has brand equity. Heck, you're even mentioned in Ash's new book for that reason!

In such a case I'd probably make more money than most actual professional engineers do here. Neat!
It still feels wrong to me, though. You can't call yourself a doctor just because you read a book about drugs or something, so it kinda feels similar to that. 🤷🏼♂️

By these standards, I am definitely not a "professional engineer". I have a BSc., but not an engineering degree. I haven't fulfilled the four years of experience under a licensed engineer, etc., etc. But I guess with my 20+ years of experience I could get a job as a "Software Engineer" in the US...

My stepdad, ex-gf, and some friends are professional engineers. In Canada, that means something very specific: You need a specific education, 4 years experience working under an licensed engineer, have to be a member of a professional eng. association, etc.. You're also obliged to wear an iron ring.

Twenty-some years into my career as a technologist and there are days I still feel I have no clue how JS works. It took me a decade to feel like I was pretty competent (given it wasn't what I mainly worked on most of that time). There are SO many things to learn and much of it takes a LOT of time.
