Likewise. A Fields medalist deserves better. In fact, the first female Fields medalist.

Time to learn how digital signatures work.

Much of complex analysis and linear algebra I think is beautiful and can be easily made accessible to the general layman.

The YC network effect is the secret sauce. Most YC companies would not even be able to bootstrap if it wasn't for YC alums like AirBnB.

If the problem you are solving doesn't map to being embarrassingly parallel then you will indeed have problems. This is not restricted to just "real-time", or more technically streaming DBs. Coordination has high overhead no matter what DB you are using.

Also, I don't see how their design avoids hot keyspace issues. Traditionally this is the main problem with partitioned designs because you move the problem one level up to properly designing the key that will be used to distribute the load across partitions.

Doesn't this already exist as WordPress themes?

You have to vendor. There is no other way. Or you pay the cost of vendoring at deploy time by having to pull in all the third party dependencies anyway. Whenever I rely on the end user or the platform to fill in the blanks I always regret it.

Maybe we are getting better at programming but we still suck at delivering computing artifacts to end users. Who here has tried to ship a Ruby or Python application to desktop or even server users? Was the experience "modern"? We might as well be shipping punch cards.

Trouble with anecdotes is that it is not data. I'm happy for your brother but that still doesn't change the fact that most bootcamps are overpromising and underdelivering on their promises of gainful employment. It's simply not possible to learn to program in bootcamp time frames.

I'm certain if we saw actual numbers it would not be a pretty picture.

For the truly motivated it is much better to go to recurse.com or join a learning Meetup. Get a day job to pay the bills and learn at your own pace. Programming is not going anywhere even with all the fancy AI startups. In fact if I was just starting out I'd just learn Python and R.

Good. The idea and intention behind bootcamps is a good one but the current implementation is suspiciously like university of phoenix.

Kinda misses the point of unikernels. The hypervisor already does all the necessary scheduling. You don't need another scheduler.

They say best time to build a business is during a downturn because you are truly forced to deliver real value to people.
