I have Win11 on one NVMe SSD and Linux(Pop!_OS) on another. Lately I only use Linux because I can configure it exactly like I want and never had any issues. I use Android Studio for programming and Timeshift for backup. Updates works better than on windows. Win11 I use maybe once a month.

GParted Stable release: 1.6.0 / 26 February 2024 so not dead. I usually boot with a usb nvme disk and then copy partitions that normally are less than 500GB. I have not tested with partition larger than 1 TB

I always use GParted and copy paste all partitions to another disk. Just remember to edit the flags of EFI system partition after the copy. For some reason the flags change when you copy.

Yes, all the time. I just take a break to exercise or take walk with the dog. If I do something else, I can't wait to go back to coding... I've been doing it for 30 Years now.

When I started, you could only have 8 "significant characters" in function or variable name. Nowadays that is not a problem but I still don't like long descriptive function names. I prefer short functions that you can understand with one look.

Try different USB ports, try with all USB cables you have, different computers and operating systems. Go to windows Disk Management and see if maybe you only need to assign a Drive Letter to the drive.

Coding is an addiction so I am trying to limit myself to one function or one feature per day. I consider a day lost on which I have not coded at least once...

I agree. I now have 120Mbps down and upload at 42Mbps with ping at 14ms. Downloading and running a project from github takes 1 minute. A Xcode update of 14gb was a pain before and is now ready while I have a coffee. Of course, now I have no excuse for not working any more..

I have been using Flutter, a reactive cross-plattform mobile development framework for some months now. Hot Reloading where you save and run your app in one second is important to me. If I have to wait tre seconds to see the result, it is already too long. One bonus is that you now can run the same code to compile it to run on native Windows, the web, macOS, or Linux desktop. It is still not perfect but worth a try. In React you need some good debugging tools and state management libraries. For small projects MobX is easy to set up and use. For big projects with a lot of programmers I would use Redux but it has a steep learning curve and every time you need to change something you have to edit a lot of files.

Great book. I started on chapter 3 and after 3 pages I still understand everything. Math is fun sometimes.
