I have a System76 Lemur Pro 10, while the hardware quality is poor (poor speakers, poor quality chassis, poor trackpad), it has been pretty solid otherwise for the last 4 years, with PopOS as my daily driver which I really love.

For work, I use a 2019 MacBook which has great hardware, but I am not a fan of MacOS. Will soon ask for upgrade to an M1. (My perfect laptop would be Apple hardware running PopOS).

My next laptop will likely be a Framework laptop unless System76 rolls out their own hardware which is much much improved than their current lot. I hope my current laptop will probably last 2-3 more years, if not more. (btw I use Steam Deck for gaming needs)

I’ve been studying BSTs recently with the book “Algo & DS in Python by Goodrich-Tamassia”, this article seems to be the next thing to read. Thanks for sharing.

yes, not gonna quit without a signed offer letter in hand…

Yes, that crossed my mind. I can also use that time to prepare for interviews while keeping an eye on the job market & pick and choose an opportunity that’s better for me.

chota means “small” in Hindi/Urdu, so I can proudly declare: I have a chota Chota

Good idea, my employer covered my AWS cert, I’ll try and see if they cover CCNA.

Thank you for insightful response.

I do have AWS Solutions Architect Associate cert. I will eventually get more AWS certs. But networking has been one of my weak points when working as well as learning other stuff, so decided to focus on networks for a bit. Will continue the course, and if my employer agrees to pay the fees, will attempt the exam.
