A while ago, someone wrote to Systers (a highly activated women in CS e-mail list) the following, which is highly accurate: --- What a great business model Grace Hopper Academy has…

I favor Python as well, but from what I see in industry, Python is best for exploration/initial experiments and Java (and recently, Scala) is for production.

It also makes sense why there are less American PhD students in those kind of locations when you look from their perspective. If I were an American, there was no way for me to spen…

I did my PhD in mid-west, and I literally only met 2 American PhD students during my entire PhD (majority was Chinese and Indian students who pursue a PhD as a gateway to a top job…

I stopped using a cellphone when I moved to US --it was way more expensive than what I used to have in my home country (so I just simply said "nope."). Now when people ask my phone…

I think most of the CS programs will just waste your time --unless you attend to a very good university. Given that best hackers I've met are self-taught programmers, you can defin…

Also can someone suggest what is the best way to approach code reading? When I open a library in Python, I am not sure where to start reading, just a bunch of files. Should I rando…

I think the best way to learn a programming language is to learn it yourself. Imho, these kind of things don't work well with courses; they often restrict the way you think. For Py…
