For some reason, it is surprisingly hard to create a bootable Windows USB using macOS. These are my steps for doing so, which have worked for me in macOS Monterey (12.6.1) for Windows 10 and 11. After following these steps, you should have a bootable Windows USB drive.

1. Download a Windows disc image (i.e. ISO file)

You can download Windows 10 or Windows 11 directly from Microsoft.

2. Identify your USB drive

After plugging the drive to your machine, identify the name of the USB device using diskutil list, which should return an output like the one below. In my case, the correct disk name is disk2.

Creating bootable Linux USB using Mac

CentOS, Ubuntu, Slackware, etc. Whatever Linux-based OS it is, you can create a bootable USB for it by using a Mac.

1. Prepare the .iso file

Download it, copy it, whatever it takes to prepare that Linux-based OS .iso file

2. Convert the .iso file into a .img.dmg

Here's how to get BitWarden to treat these three different types of Amazon logins as separate

Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

	After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
	The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."

	Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:

	# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
	brew unlink postgresql
	brew install [email protected]
	brew unlink [email protected]
	brew link postgresql
