    It begins: Ethiopia set to become first country to ban internal combustion cars

    Ethiopia is busy receiving billions in grants from the US - wonder if this isn't just political grandstanding to keep the gravy train going. Governments would never do that, would they?

    Webafrica to acquire Mweb

    Anyone got a reference to when, around 2010, MWEB was the first to launch true uncapped ADSL and WebAfrica was one of the most vocal critics, saying that it was "unsustainable" and bad for the industry? Weird how it all ended up working out. Edit: Nevermind, found it...

    South Africans crave a 4-day work week – but it will come with a cost

    Have instituted a 4-day workweek* for our organization, and I feel like it's been very successful. We don't use any objective metrics to track productivity, but I am satisfied with my team's velocity (I've found people tend to really make an effort to get tasks done before Thursday). Getting...

    Is software development the only way forward?

    Streaming, writing, graphic design, 3D modelling, general office work... plenty of options if you want to sit at a computer all day. Programming is the way forward if you enjoy and/or are good at programming. If you're neither good at it, nor enjoy it, I doubt you should do it. I clicked with...

    Concerns over beggars regulating traffic at busy intersections during load-shedding

    Drove past one of these the other day. Dude didn't have a pair of white gloves, so he improved by using white socks over his hands. Only marginally less silly than if it were a sock puppet with googly eyes.

    BSc:Computing | UNISA | PT or FT while working full time

    Computing in this case means double major in computer science. Or computer science/information systems, depending who you ask. The other BSc "Computer Science" offerings from Unisa come with a second major like statistics, applied mathematics, informatics, etc. Seen the same in some European...

    In search of thock - Keychron K8 Pro review

    Have the Keychron K1 - it's a low profile variant of the ten keyless types like the K8. With red switches. Best keyboard I've owned so far - but my next move is going to be to Das Keyboard.

    What the law says about side-hustles and moonlighting in South Africa

    Friend of mine is working three jobs. He's a highly competent senior developer, but works three intermediate dev jobs. He can push out high quality code quickly, and without the demands of "senior" type work (i.e. lots of meetings), he manages his time well enough to keep three employers happy...

    Junior to Mid-Level C# full stack developers needed

    I fit that profile pretty well, and exceeded your salary around when I crossed 1 years' experience. A colleague of mine with about 4 years exp and no degree took an offer for 90k after getting multiple competing offers. Also, your post doesn't say anything about the role. With forcing...

    Teraco gets R11.8 billion loan for expansion plans and solar build

    Jeez that's depressing. All these billions and still 4 years to build 100MW and another 8 for the next 100MW? They trying to compete with Eskom on how slow can you go.

    How much do you tip your waiter?

    The pandemic made me a bit more sensitive to the plight of these kinds of workers. Even when service ain't great, I can't help but think they're still a person like me with their own struggles and they may just be having a bad day. 15-30%

    Advice Needed

    Making an assumption here that you're a young person trying to pick a career. I would advise to go for the Comp Sci degree, if you have the opportunity, time and resources to do so. If you get the degree, the paths you mentioned are not mutually exclusive - you can get into many types of...
