They ban proton mail nationwide over a few offensive emails. Will they ban YouTube next if they make offensive videos about them?

Why? I don’t see anything wrong with an AI first approach. I think it’s a good way to cover your bases before actually diving into coding.

Can I suggest you try a month cold Turkey with no internet or smartphone. This cured my “ADHD”. I could read programming books cover to cover like it was the lord of the rings afte…

I’ve heard somewhere that 85% of billionaires are first generation billionaires meaning they made their own money. I’m sure while they were making money they also had similar strug…

Yes, I don’t understand this either. Nowadays you have to be a senior just to get an entry level position in the USA. There are plenty of mid level developers that are struggling t…

Now this is hacker news!

Yes, I always point out the journey a lot of them take to the USA is extremely dangerous. I wouldn’t care if it were just grown men doing this since they have some life experience …

We can agree to disagree. The decision is ultimately up to the country.

I’m a legal immigrant and I had to wait in line like everyone else. How is that fair to people like me when someone cuts in line? I’m not exactly from a “paradise country” myself s…

I would not be surprised if the average crow is as smart or smarter than some people I have met in my life.

Are you Phrack by chance?

This whole thing comes off as very “edgy”. We just like to tinker with things. It’s really not that deep for most of us.

I don’t want to come off as mean and spoil the article but the author writes he can’t get anything done and the strategies that might help him with finishing things is.. “1) writin…

Only took like 20 years!

I don’t know a single person on threads or mastodon.

I get what your saying but it’s what everyone uses. At this point it’s like saying write assembly instead of C. Hopefully people come around but I doubt it.

And a real engineer. Not just some basic things where you can just get a certification. Like I tell people, I don’t think you need 4 years to learn basic things like html, css and …

Exactly, this is why you I’m happy the younger generation doesn't listen to us. We listened to generation x and got into a lot of trouble for it. I knew parents who would encourage…

Right, like I mentioned. If you understand the loan and your ok with it then go to college. If you don’t know basic finances or how interest compounds then sit home until you figur…

I agree with you to an extent. The problem is they weren’t taught finances at all. Most kids don’t understand that just 5% annually can compound to a crazy amount. I don’t feel bad…

Especially for computer science. If you need 4 years and 60k a year to learn how to do a Left join in SQL or what OOP is then you are better off using that loan for an actual inves…

Couldn’t agree more. At this point when hiring developers I don’t even look at the college degree. I could care less. I know people without degrees that earn much more than those w…

A lot of people in America were tricked to go into college and take out huge loans that they may never be able to pay back. The common push from the majority of generation x to mil…

Oh ok, still a bit strange to post here but in that case don’t take it too hard. Getting banned from a big platform for no reason or a silly reason is like a right of passage nowad…
