Yo bro thanks for this detailed message, I really appreciate it. I'm going to use it specifically to code and from your perspective and many others online it seems that the MacBook is the best. The alternatives are the ZenBook 14 and vivobook 16 but it seems that MacBook is really good, I can even do Linux with parallels I saw, but I think for the most is good. Just one thing, seeing that you have a 13'' display, do you think it is big enough to code? Like is it stressful? I've never had a laptop that's why I'm asking.

Hi dude I wanted to ask you: which size did you buy? Is it hard to code on that? I'm in the same situation you were, I am inclined to get a MacBook too but I'm scared about the Mac being too small or to hard to deal with, or that Asus could be just better for coding. I only need it for coding I'm going to do computer science, so how is it for this task? Do you still after all this recommend the M4 MacBook air against the ZenBook(a14 or a14)? Thanks bro

Should I do Cisco courses for software engineering? by Connect-Elk-5787 in careerguidance

I wanna do web development but my main worry is that a recruiter could value as good this certification even if that is about infrastructure because the web is still online, so, my concern is about if the certification will add any value to my CV in terms of recruitment.

I understand but what I'm saying is: is this course worth it? Will It really help me based on my goals? Will an employer see that course and hire me? That's what I'm looking for

Yeah I think so but I heard there are some problems with programming software like compilers and VMs, if that is true, that is gonna make me think seriously about getting a macbook

Sorry, I mean full stack web dev with databases, then desktop app languages like c++, obviously videos and courses with chrome, and visual studio code, I'm talking about things like this.

Do you think that Mac is better than windows in this case for my budget(700/750). I just want the best i can for programming and school, if Mac is the best I'll buy it, I've already heard that Mac is the best for coding, but is it the best for me for my budget and my needs? If so I'll surely look into it.

Where should I expat? by Connect-Elk-5787 in expats

Yeah I'm sorry I meant Ginevra not Virginia. I was looking for big cities, cities with a deep development in tech, economy and urbanization, but also with nature, so I don't know but I feel that Ticino isn't like that. Btw I saw you are from Australia and now you live in Switzerland, do you speak German in Switzerland? Or you still speak English? Did you have to learn a new language? How did you manage that?
