Since the forum update I can't add new lines into code blocks ( without cutting and pasting text that includes a new line)

I've logged out of the forum on my phone (in a misguided attempt to manage my work/life balance) but can you toggle out of the new "rich text" editing mode/does editing work as expected there?

I've yet to come across a 'rich text'/'inline'/WYSIWYG Markdown editing experience I prefer to just giving me plain text.

Well, Paul’s method for getting paid to read the forum was to become an IA employee and have a manager who wants devs to understand our user’s pain points. 😉

Oh, by the way, [we’re hiring](https://inductiveautomation.com/about/careers/)!

Huh even mentions remote work in applications!

I'm already occupied for the moment.

(Going back to school next month for another bachelor in a more creative field (indie game dev))

But I should totally check this out again in 3-4 years. Bookmarked it with a reminder in 3 years xd.
