Author here. In the article there's some evidence that Ember is still at least talked a lot about in Rails job posts. Maybe I'll look into that more the next time I do this kind of digging.
Personally, I made a couple of attempts to learn Ember. Though it was well documented and looked great, I just bounced off of it both times. And I never had an urgent need for it, so...I eventually found Stimulus easier to pick up.
Remote is definitely a spectrum. On one end there's "you can be anywhere on the planet" to "you can work from home but we expect you to live in this city or state."
Employers know that remote is appealing to devs, so they're eager to claim they're remote employers. As folks elsewhere have said, read the fine print and get commitments in writing if needed.
So, I'm awaiting an offer for a remote position. However, the documents they produce are generic and include that you may need to travel. It is a huge firm that does consulting also, however, it states I will be working in a internal team on a product.
I'm not sure it really matters. As I can always walk if they require me to come in to the office, but the company has been mostly remote for years and the team is all over the country.
For coding or any other project, I keep a running note called "Where I Was." Before putting down the project, I add a timestamped note that's as detailed as it needs to be. I find that this helps swap back context quickly, and it also has the benefit, for me, of swapping the project out! Clearing my mind like this helps me focus more on whatever I'm picking up, too.
I had no understanding of what that sort of life must have been like before reading the chapter, but after it stuck with me so strongly. I felt wholly inadequate trying to summarize it above.

Is there a bug in the line computing Motive[mHappyWeek]? It seems like it should have Motive[mHappyDay] instead of Motive[mHappyNow] on the right hand side.
Yeah, I don't know why the littoral combat ship was such a big problem. It's for near-shore patrol, which has to be the easiest job any navy has to do. Even the really piddly ones have to deal with that, and they do so with a wide variety of patrol boats, corvettes, and frigates. The USN could have picked any one of dozens of designs in current operation, made a few tweaks for taste, and put them in service.
This topic is relevant to my interests. I've googled around a little bit on research on the topic of eliminating squatters, but haven't come up with much. I'd appreciate pointers to papers if anyone has them.
