As someone who wishes to work in the field of motorsport specially Formula 1, what opportunities are present for software engineers at a junior role?

I'm glad that Soulseek is around and the users are still using the platform.

Yes, it was very similar for me too. Getting from 23% to 18% wasn't difficult at all.

Moving from 18% to 13-14% and maintaining it is going to be difficult but I will proceed with caution and monitor the progress diligently.

Thanks for the advice!

I wanted to keep 2020 goals succinct because last year I struggled to meet most of them.

- Finish the distant learning program which I'm currently undertaking

- Get into the best shape possible and drop body fat percentage by 3-4% (already lost 22lbs/10kgs this year, so this seems achievable)

- Move to a different country and get a better job working with Flutter or Native App Development

- Focus on my mental health

- Figure out my future with my girlfriend

- Learn to invest wisely

Coming from someone using an S7 Edge since its release, I don't think it would be an upgrade for me. I'm losing more than I'm gaining, I don't think I can go back to a non-waterproof/water-resistant phone which doesn't have wireless charging.

From an S6Edge+ perspective, if you're missing out the latest software updates and need an upgrade in the camera department, then go for it. Otherwise, there may be a better choices in the market or just go with a "premium" smartphone to future-proof for another 3-5 years.
