In 2021 I asked on Hacker News how to start as a developer. APP: One suggestions was React. So, I bought an Apple Developer Account and programmed an iPhone/iPad crash-course for A…

Thanks! For me #1 is really important too. I think just trying, especially with software, is so important. The language is one I'm thinking about - some of my students are self-stu…

Thank you! Yes, I think tangible projects are a really strong approach - I'm trying to figure out a suite of realistic projects, so students can choose the one they most respond to…

Happy New Year, Hacker News! Short: How would you teach a High-school Grade 11 Computer Science course? More info: I'm a STEM teacher at a Canadian high-school in China. Our progra…

I think this is a great idea.

fuhpy.com (Fuhn Ünd Happy People, Ya!) is my final project for EdX Harvard CS50. Fuhpy uses PoseNet, p5.js, and ml5.js to find the keypoints of a person's body in a photograph. If …

nice work!

At first I smirked when I read your American bit... but then I wondered... what if those were design choices? For example, what if someone figured out the average sit-time of gasol…

> the force of mentorship should not exceed the strength of pushing a canoe into a river This is really good! Thank you =)

Daniel, When I email jointheteam@stileeducation.com, my gmail times out. Do you know why that might be? My gmail sends to other addresses. (ps. Sorry if I've emailed like five time…

Nice! I'm looking forward to going through some more of them.

Wow, thanks! Maybe I should just put some of this stuff on a resume and send it out - see what it turns up. Congratulations on your success!

Got it! Just bookmarked Codewars, and thank you for the suggestion! > My company is having a hell of a time finding junior level people who actually know how to solve even the simp…

Of course I'd love that FAANG salary, but I guess the only way I'll know if I'm good at algos is to give them a shot. I think I'm smart - but, hell, almost everybody on this site b…

Got it! What's that old quote? "Half the work is showing up" or something like that. You just did what they asked and - boom - got the job. Well done! I'm tucking that one away und…

Wow, these resources are great! Thank you so much. I have these bookmarked - I want to finish some other projects and then lay out a plan that will hopefully be best; of course, "n…

What an encouraging comment - and thank you so much for looking at that RLC repo! It's riddled with mistakes, to be honest. I took it on as a learning project, speaking of which...…

Thanks! The idea of one website to best showcase all of one's web programming skills seems like a useful puzzle - I'm going to mull over how I might do that. Thank you again!

Thank you for being so specific! Numbers and time-frames are really helpful for me - even if I wiggle them, or miss them, they are bench-marks in my mind. For example, I would have…

Hey, thank you so much! I like that backend path you laid out. And I think you're right that I need to read code other people have written - mostly I've approached building stuff f…

Thanks! I'm slightly busy today (reading papers) but I skimmed your link and bookmarked it. Useful! I'll definitely get back to it for a more thorough read. Thank you again.
