Except when they are. I was just implementing an endpoint that returns Reddit like comment data (replies nested in replies) and I quickly realized you can't pull this off in graphql because the return structure has to be predefined and

I've been working out of a co-working space for the past six years. Pros: * It's a physical space away from home. That helps create a mental separation which helps me focus. * You're around people in the same grind as you. Wh

Are you open to pursuits that don't directly involve programming? If so, three suggestions: * CodeNation (CodeNation.org) - teach highschool aged kids in underserved areas how to code. * GazaSkyGeeks (GazaSkyGeeks.com) - go to the Gaza

Yes on the visa point - can't be totally random. The rest you can. I'm about to embark on a 3 week trip through south east asia. Aside from my liveaboard where I'll be living on a boat and diving (which I have to book in adva

This was a common exploit during the hey day of the FXP scene.

Ugh, that really sucks. I worked on the same idea back in 2013 before Kitsplit came around [0]. Funnily enough, theft didn't keep me up at night, damage did. Especially hard to detect internal damage. I've met Lizbeth and Kristina

This was tried most recently by Josephine (josephine.com) in the bay area. They ran up against laws that forbid selling food cooked at home. I don't think it is a matter of figuring out but rather legislation.

I grew up in SoCal in the early 2000s and I distinctly remember how fun the Clips were to watch. They were heavily overshadowed by the Lakers and no one really expected them to win. But they were entertaining. This is a story that mostly

You work at a fascinating place. I'm a big basketball guy and PT articles routinely make it into r/nba. In a world of content farms, I really appreciate the good writing you all put out. What sort of tech stack do y'all run?

I've noticed a lot of us despair about whether we can contribute as an engineer as we get older. I didnt know Glenn but to be a badass coder and maintainer of hugely popular library at his age is truly inspirational. RIP.

I personally see repl.it less as a replacement for a development environment (c9's aim) and more as a quick way to deploy, run, and illustrate a piece of code. It is perfect for school assignments, running quick trials, and general exp

I'm a technical trainer and repl.it has been a godsend. Just this past summer I was running a Python course and due to company policy, I couldn't get my students to download some libs. Spun up repl.it, did our pip commands, and of

* It is a numbers game. You will fail more than you succeed. But the few successes will be material. * Train yourself to equate the dopamine hit you get with running a new piece of code you made with the act (not necessarily success) of per

This is great. I've been to ~10 or so hackathons including both of the YC ones this year and this approach makes total sense. For the most part, the judges and audience don't care how you built something. They're more interes

It depends on the objective of the hackathon. YC's hackathons (I went to both this year) focus on creating a prototype that could be a startup. So the emphasis isn't so much on the technical programming but more the delivery and b

Yikes, I did pretty much this. Went from two 5x's (I really love the form factor) to a used pixel one. So far it hasn't bricked - is that a known issue like the 5x bootloop?

Thanks for the shout out. Happy to extend that AMA here in case I missed anything.

Getting outside of my developer comfort zone and embracing sales. Giving emailing, calling, coffee'ing, etc the same priority (sometimes more) as coding.

I've taught high school aged kids how to code for four years on behalf of a non-profit [0] and now I run a for-profit coding camp in the bay area [1]. Here's my advice: * Realize that you need to frontload fun over value here. Fun

To see this point proven, watch video of Derrick Rose's movements and landings. While we're on the topic, I wonder if anyone has started using computer vision to inform players of their movements and avoid injuries.

Former four year volunteer of ScriptEd. It's an incredible organization and the easiest way to meet awesome, down to earth devs. Happy to answer any questions from prospective volunteers.

As someone in startup life, that sounds exactly right.

I'm envious of that. I went through a master's program and I sorely miss that unstructured time to research and genuinely explore a topic. All of the learning I do these days is by force of business. I'm OK with that but it w

I do know programming. I know how to build a backend and frontend. What I don't know is how to take a large dataset and start making predictions based off of it.

I haven't, atleast not since my last university class. I'd love to find some kind of course that trains me on the basics along with applying it through programming.

As a full stack engineer that knows very little about data science. what courses, libraries, etc are worth my time to explore? What should I be well versed in to be competent in the future?

I got to live in Iowa in the summer of 2007 for an engineering internship at Rockwell Collins. One bonus of that was getting to go to all the rallies. I went to a McCain rally and an Obama rally. I remember the energy of the room when Obama
