This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it's not suitable for all locations.
Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.
It's a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.
I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:
- any and all soft skills
- version control
- refactoring
- testing and the value of testing
- staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc
My experience with my yubikey is that it just works. I know that's not terribly useful info, but it's really all I have after several years of occasionally using it. Oh, it's been on my keychain all that time so isn't terribly flimsy.
The only thing worse than people using WD-40 instead of a better product, are the mental gymnastics performed by people pretending a product which is 35% oil and sold as a lubricant, actually isn't.

Platform independent, and "just work". Not missing any functionality I ever wanted and with a new machine even CLion's almost legendary slowness is under control.
If it wanted to work harder, it wouldn't be going to Europe... 🤔

My opinion is based on an older gentleman commiserating on how difficult it was for young impoverished students to pay for everything nowadays. I was in debt, and had at just that moment come out at the LGB soc. That person was my bank manager.
Subs that pay doms don't bother me at all.
I just got an M2 MBP. In my personal experience it is very much not "shit".
Expensive and a PITA to fix? Quite possibly.
I recently saw this: What are some great YouTube channels worth checking out? which indirectly answers your question I guess for the people that posted suggestions.
Mine were:
- https://www.youtube.com/@TheTimTraveller - Utterly charming and funny travel videos
- https://www.youtube.com/@AtomicShrimp - Incredibly wholesome nerdyness in a multitude of forms
- https://www.youtube.com/@anderspuck - Insightful and considered observations about the war in Ukraine
- https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker - Unashamedly non-PC reviews and observations on film and TV
Perhaps worth pointing out that the attacks require the attacker to position a piece of hardware between the Qi charger and the power source.
