   I have tried to use various similar applications and the experience was overwhelmingly negative (due to limitations of mouse-based control). Thus, I'm considering getting an inexpensive graphics drawing tablet purely for ideation, note

   Much appreciate your feedback, which is very helpful. I agree with you on balancing structural benefits of classes with vocabulary and other benefits of conversational practice with native speakers. I haven't heard of Lingoda before -

   Understood, thank you. So, essentially, you have used the language immersion approach, on top of a light introductory course, enriched by regular vocabulary building. Sounds reasonable to me.

   Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and info. Being multi-lingual myself, I certainly understand the concept of language immersion (and, actually, most recently have tried it partially with Mandarin, in the form of watching Chines

   Understood. I appreciate you sharing your insights. What course(s) did you use for Spanish? Any thoughts on Fluenz?

   I see. Thank you for your prompt comment. Just one clarification ... When you are saying "getting the basics down on something like Duolingo/Rosetta Stone", do you mean that "basics" here includes all levels (as far

    My understanding is that these methods work well, when the learner has already reached at least a basic level of fluency in the target foreign language. But what about those just beginning the journey as well as those who have already start

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I certainly agree with you on benefits of using statically-typed languages (and this is one of the reasons for my potential selection of C# versus Python - though, mypy and pydantic packages seem to

    Interesting and good to know. Thank you for your additional clarifications. I would love to get my hands dirty with Blazor and many other technologies. The problem with being a very early-stage startup, despite being very tempting to jump t

    Generally, I agree with you, except for the argument that developers who play with (or do projects using) less popular languages "are statistically more likely to care about their craft" (do you have any data supporting this cla

    Yes, I do need all that (except for CQRS and Event Sourcing, which I've briefly looked at and didn't like them, plus, they only make sense for certain types of systems based on microservices architecture). Yes, I'm familiar w

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I have already spent more than a few hours with the two large enterprise SaaS boilerplate frameworks that I mentioned above and, while I understand most concepts, it still feels quite overwhelmin

    Understood. I certainly didn't mean non-NN frameworks, but rather meant other popular NN ones (PyTorch, MXNet, etc.).

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. Your approach certainly makes sense and I'm also not a fan of listing specific programming languages (as well as stacks, frameworks, platforms or products) as strict requirements. However, in my boo

    Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Please see my reply to the parent comment (by @manigandham) about one of .NET-side reasons for my contemplation. I'm curious about your opinion on this aspect.

    I appreciate your feedback. I definitely have a very positive feeling about .NET Core (C# and, to lesser degree, F#) platform (though, I think that .NET ecosystem is not as comprehensive / diverse as the Python one). What forces me to

    Thank you for chiming in. Interestingly enough, I ran across your startup not long ago, when exploring ML/AI landscape of the .NET ecosystem. Good luck with your venture. By the way, do you have plans to support other popular framework

    Thank you for your advice. I understand where you're coming from, however, I respectfully disagree (plus, in my case, your advice is not much applicable, since my knowledge and experience with Python and .NET ecosystems are not that mu

    I think that you're missing my point about the statistical nature of engineering talent hiring. My argument is that you will have higher chances to "see a good developer" in the first place, if relevant pool of potential ca

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm aware of JetBrains Rider. In fact, I have installed it on my desktop and used it to explore the above-mentioned .NET boilerplate templates (C#-based). Perhaps, I missed that Rider fully supports
