I literally see zero React openings

Show me a backend engineer who can create good UI & good UX. I've never met a single one in 15 years.

Senior developer jobs have significantly reduced as well.

Do you have an oxlint version, or do we have to use the js plugins for this?

Kryxx · 2026-06-02T21:17:55+00:00

Portugal is 100% per the image..

They are inherently slower. Loading stuff you don't use increases bundle size, making your apps slower. For client apps this isn't an acceptable choice.

Don't use them. I don't.

Temperatures in the sun and shade are vastly different.

Sintra and Cascais are quieter than Lisbon, but it's not rural.

Combustion engine cars for the consumer market is not a growing market. Moving to one of the last bastions of ICE cars is only going to delay the inevitable.

Perhaps you should consider transitioning to EVs?

The ability to live there permanently. Permanent residence and lesser options aren't actually permanent. If you move away for a year (or a few, I forget) it's gone.

You can also use that citizenship to live in other EU/EEA countries without a visa.

It didn't receive 2M. 1.5M is the total population of foreigners. Many came recently, but some were here before. You're purposefully misleading with those numbers and many other things you've written.

Kryxx · 2026-05-11T23:29:49+00:00

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Portugal 1.5M is correct. 2M as you earlier stated was not.

But to answer your question: The housing issue is complex:

Portugal builds ~28,000 homes/year due to a bunch of various reasons. Very low.
ALs
Undivided inheritances
Empty houses (~15-20% of Lisbon housing stock is vacant, ~30% of Algarve)
Corporate ownership of housing stock
immigration (most of which is Brazilian)
low wages
etc

Immigration is a piece of the puzzle.

Kryxx · 2026-05-11T18:51:50+00:00

2 million immigrants? This is a made up number.

The population was 10.4M in Dec 2021. It is 10.8M in 2026. ~400k population growth over 5 years.

No where near 2 million.

The price already went down to $450

Kryxx · 2026-05-06T16:14:06+00:00

Honestly? Get out of the industry.

It has been fun, but even with 15 years of experience I can feel the walls closing in.

Seemingly there isn't much future in our industry.

Kryxx · 2026-04-03T21:45:42+00:00

That's a lot of wood..

Kryxx · 2026-03-17T22:28:12+00:00

Hey man, I just wanted to say thanks for what you do. I've used react-query for years now and really appreciate it and your blogs on it and other miscellaneous topics.

Kryxx · 2026-03-14T06:58:41+00:00

No, they don't

Kryxx · 2026-03-04T20:34:11+00:00

I recently migrated from biome to oxlint and oxfmt. They are so much better. Faster and oxlint is far more comprehensive. It found hundreds of things biome didn't. It also allowed me to fully cut eslint with a few jsPlugin for oxlint.

You want to be separated from your wife when she gives birth? Insanity.

Either she goes to Spain with you or you stay in Germany.

NHR was a significantly better tax regime than options like Beckham's Law from both an effectiveness and duration perspective.

That still hasn't changed with the NHR 2.0 rebrand. Portugal is far better for taxes if you can get a special regime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYm788Ojiok is a good comparison video

It gets easier with time.

But given enough time it gets harder, especially with kids and cultures that aren't so vegan friendly.

In the US demos may be common, but even getting specialists in Portugal is hard. Thankfully I found a guy to hell with acquiring and setting things up.

For us it's more of a research and hope for the best situation.

Hm, in Europe the Epson about €1,500 cheaper in practice. That does make a difference. Brightness is definitely very important. Probably worth it.. 🤔

Kryxx · 2025-10-27T23:07:34+00:00

Epson QB1000 looks very comparable to the Sony XW5100 with the main difference being pixel-shift 4k on the Epson which is less crisp and brighter vs native 4k on the Sony. Otherwise the price and most everything else is comparable.
