That's a good article. Here is a related deep dive: Pineapples! (PDF)

Because the pineapple leaves close their stomata during the day they don’t have the benefits of evaporative cooling! Plants heat up and unless there is a breeze to move the heat out of the field they are prone to plant damage, fruit sunburn and “cooking” or “boiling”. Growth slows when temperatures exceed 36°C and stops at about 40°C.

Protip: (kinda half rant too) Join a general software consulting company. You will then have the opposite problem, you will be seen as ANYTHING dev. Whatever combination of os, language, framework and domain you have the least experience with, you will be picked for that project because you're available. The dice will be re-rolled every 6 months. Until then you'll be the Angular dev. Oh wait you didn't mention Angular. Tough luck. This is the protip, not the amateurtip.

Amateurtip: (kinda half joking) You don't need a job to be Vue or Svelte developer...

And when the opportunity comes to select the tech stack, or switch teams/jobs, having any hands-on experience (even if it was just the tutorial) will be a huge plus, compared to nothing. You will know better what you're talking about, and it proves that you are seriously motivated. (Of course, you can also mention your side-project to your colleagues once or twice.)
