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 after that month.

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 struggles to you and I.

I think if you work harder, faster, smarter and have some luck you will succeed no matter what and have some extra time to reflect on your life also.

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 to find a job.

I guess it will be interesting times ahead. I recommend everyone to keep their skills sharp!

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 but a lot of times these are children not “teenagers” but literal kids being guided by strangers.

I know people who have crossed illegally through Mexico and the horrors they witnessed, it’s inhumane. So glad you pointed this out in your comment.

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 so I understand these people very well so please don’t use that “you don’t know their situation” talking point with me. We all feel for them but we need to be practical. Rules are rules and they must be followed. That’s how societies function.

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) writing a spec (i.e. a plan) upfront, and 2) timeboxing the project by giving myself a deadline.”

Isn’t this just agile? I’m pretty sure every developer already does this, it’s kind of the whole strategy for completing any project.

Not sure what the point of this article was. He could have wrote “make a sprint and stick to it”

Only took like 20 years!

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