Depends on your need. I've been using ProtonVPN for a while now and it seems good. Thinking of giving IVPN a try. Both are on the same page on privacy matters I think and Proton has servers in more locations than IVPN.

"Limit your commits to have maximum 10 changes"

This is a valid point though. That feeling you get when you gotta review a merge request with 133 changes is soul-crushing.

This brought back memories from a previous gig of mine. The only difference is I didn't ask to be in that position.

Joined as an SE and got promoted to a position where I had to constantly interact with clients. And whenever I wanted a capable hand to handle an issue in production all I had were interns and recruits. So most of the time I ended up working off-hours, spending my day on Redbull and nights on beer. Finally, I realized that If I continue, I'd probably end up a zombie or something. So decided to leave and I'm happy about that.
