IDK about the rest but Sweden has definitely not encouraged good education in a while.

Most programmers are happy enough to make their current salary and many work for less. Don't think it's gonna increase any time soon.

None of those races count as minorities in these types of arguments. Only blacks, latinos, and LGBT do.

Way too many C#/Java developers who used JS in the early 2000s and hated it still think it's the same language.

Agreed. The JS community has some great people but in general it's very immature.

Similar situation here: My discrete mathematics professor last year pretty much used everything from the MIT OCW Mathematics for Computer Science books. Homework, exams, lectures (even the jokes in the video lectures!).

I'll go as far as to say that when it comes to degrees like Art History, prestige (i.e. reputation of the school's department) is what matters the most. That way, you will get to do the interesting research and make the necessary

In the last few years I have learned that "coders" now usually means JavaScript/Ruby people. Even as a web dev enthusiast I kinda wish we had more "traditional desktop/server" software people to follow.

Might be wrong with this and it might not fit Duolingo's app but it would not be too bad to at least have spoken Japanese with romaji. I think most people will admit that learning to write Japanese well is something not many foreigners

Or worse: Their rants about social justice or whatever happens in their daily life. I can vouch for Eric Elliott, he's great.

Pretty cool. There are some great Packt books (I liked Haviv's MEAN Web Development when trying out the stack), but am I wrong in thinking the signal-to-noise ratio is kinda bad? It reminds me a lot of Udemy (seems like anyone can publ

That sounds like an interesting strategy. What niche did you end up on? I'm still a young developer so I have time/patience to try new stuff, but I'd love to focus on a niche someday.

I go to a private liberal arts school in NYC. This is pretty much everyone I go to school with outside the Comp Sci/Finance/Med School people.

Is the internship remote?

I just want to say that as a college student, HN Who's Hiring has been a great resource in both applying for internships and finding out about new companies. My university has little to no programming jobs in their career resources, so

JS isn't OOP and it doesn't need to be. Please read this instead: https://medium.com/javascript-scene/the-two-pillars-of-javas...

For getting a good job/lifelong employment this list seems way too long and broad. I'd argue better time is spent actually building stuff in your area or language of choice, networking, taking internships and jobs, and practicing—

Agreed, but I usually search for "intern " and "internship ", with a space after.

I used Cloud9 while doing Hartl's Rails tutorial and was very impressed. Would probably use it for my personal projects if I was on Windows.

Ha, you are right. Every time there's a discussion on MBTI in an online forum, there's a small horde of people who proudly and loudly say INTJ, letting us know how logical and rational they are.

>So Facebook has become akin to your public "phone book" listing for younger users. This makes sense to me. I am 21 and "use Facebook" every day (i.e. open the Messenger app). Almost everyone I know is on there and I

Yes, it does. While at the end everything depends on the student, Stanford offers better connections with companies, a brand name that helps get interviews, and really, just better education. I've watched plenty of Stanford lectures an

University is the last place for privacy conscious programmers. Colleges use Google Apps (including e-mails), the student body (for the most part) all want to work for Google/Facebook/etc, college culture encourages social media (

That's actually the first course I took by him. I took a few of his other HTML/CSS courses and I am doing PHP Fundamentals (to get into Laravel later) because of the "jQuery and PHP" parts of the 30 days course. All good

Jeffrey Way is the best. Back at Tuts+ I'd only watch his courses—no one else was as good of a teacher as him. Laracasts is even better.
