what a lots of free time to spare, creatw and joy...


i get 404 :)


Strange, it's working for me :0

Github is my backup. You can find the article here as well, along with everything else I've written at my TIL site: https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/til/blob/main/lessons-learn...


Tabs Archive and Search return 404, fyi


Joo, Tags works fine for me but I'm aware of Archive and Search being broken. I gotta get around to removing them one of these days.


the startup company i work in uses 6 different programming languages, which makes me feel what you argue here. to add, markup languages are fun and contrubiting also, particularly devops developing with yaml and composing Docker components makes you think in a different organizational mindset than other programming domains


I've become a software developer; before that, I used to be an English instructor at a university, and sometimes I did translations. I have several ideas in my minds, like developing an app that would make me rich. This is basically why and how I started it. CS50 Open courseware was the starting point; then Stack Overflow, YouTube and free code practice platforms followed, and they were all good during 8 or 9 months. I spent 4 to 6 hours a day, excluding breaks and weekends; so, if you have a decent English, Internet connection and some enthusiasm, then you can build any skill in very short time (maybe, this way of thinking is because of being a teacher). I landed first job I applied after 30 mins. Maybe I was a bit lucky, too


That's one of the rare moments that I abhor what AI might bring out us humans...


For me that moment is every time I read anything new about AI. Luddite life!


That's a really interesting point of view; what you say is like astrology or such tests are deliberate designs of people (probably, of higher minds in a given society) that regulate or benefit life; but still, I think this'd be rather one of effects of practicing astrology or other non-scientific inquiries than the main cause of them. I'd like to see whether what you claim relies on a theory or research.


The origins of astrology were always hermeneutic secrets. We are left to puzzle out its meaning from its effects, as for any natural phenomenon.

Since the positions of planets can, physically, have no effect, and nobody could ever observe or deduce any such effects, we are obliged to cast about for other design motivations.


We use it just because it feels more professional than Whatsapp, Discord or such


Flutter's good. I learnt mobile development and its fundamentals through it in a very short time. It's an intuitive framework and well sustained, and I've seen no issue with my apps in production yet


and please don not confuse hobbies with games like chess, go, scrabble, and etc.


Right, these are more akin to sports, but burn the same mental energy as programming.


I've got the same feelings but it seems a bit more promising than others, and least here is some poor mice the trials conducted on


They tried monkeys already. Worked perfectly btw. You're welcome to volunteer for the human trials to spare the poor animals, I would except that I really really don't want to.


Oh thanks, I value my life more than other creatures'. Survival instinct:p
