If you want to learn a lot about startups and feel like meeting with a lot you could distribute it in multiple $20k-$30k bets in up and coming startups you believe in. If you aim at landing cash in 20-30 startups with that cash many of them will go to $0, some will be a break even or moderate success, and 1 or 2 might be a likely winner of the entire strategy. Angel investing isn't for everyone and also there are many better ways to see a "more guaranteed" return on investment but little as interesting as getting a front row seat to the future. If you are purely after risk adjusted returns then just make sure you are allocating to beat inflation, mitigate hyper inflation and into something you know or want to know a lot about. Many great investors out there to learn from but if you want the "starter" guide Angel by Jason Calacanis is a pretty decent book to read.

Great writing. This should replace the syllabus for very many Comp Sci / Soft Eng "Intro to Compilers/Interpreters" courses as many do not come close to this level of detail.

That is if every company that is in the chain follows those strict data protection laws. It wouldn't be the first time that bad actors exploited legally protected browsing.

This is the correct answer

I share this feeling. Going to python for the first time as someone that has developed software for 16+ years was incredibly more difficult and time consuming than I would have hoped. I still don't understand how it has become the default go to language for teaching new coders when it has quite unintuitive syntax / packages and setup steps.

Get into a startup where a lot of these practices/ideas aren't yet fully ingrained/adhered to and grow with your team. This will also let you learn more skills than "just coding" as you will have to wear multiple hats.

Once you are confident you can move on to bigger engineering shops. Or just stay and have a great time building new things in startup world. :)

While this is true. Name one mainstream app that actually does this or at least doesn't replace it with the (way worse) phone number option?

Never knew of outline.com. I now have a new favourite site.

Most likely not optimal but it certainly can be done without looking at the screen while watching Netflix :P

Once you know the basic strategy/naive algorithm behind winning it becomes easy to get to much higher than 2048.

1) Swipe left until nothing else moves

2) Swipe down until nothing else moves

3) (If an empty space) Swipe up once

4) Repeat from 1.

There will only be a few times that you have to stop this process to get "unstuck".

Also got to 6. Hugely disappointed.

This mentality is what drives people to mediocrity. Not reaching your full potential just hurts yourself, your family and your community in the long run. If you have the capability to learn more, earn more and create great businesses don't sit on the sidelines the world needs more action takers.

This is if you don't need that capital to create your own businesses or other streams of revenue.

Yarn has been the talk of the dev world for the last week man. It had a large upswing on both here and reddit.
