Thank you for this. I remember reading this 5+ years ago. It was the catalyst for me dropping out of college, and eventually made my way up to SF to go to DBC. A hell of a journey, and it all started with a post on some forum. Edit: I also

well back in 2012 was literally the first time a code bootcamp had been done. I think because of that, a lot of smart people saw you could take this business model and get started really cheaply and it could be huge, which is was/is. I

I guess I'm new to the whole WebAssembly thing. Could you please elaborate more on that statement? If FB were to do that, how does WebAssembly stop you from doing what OP suggested?

That sounds like an awesome tool! If you don't mind me asking, is it publicly available to view anywhere? What language is it in? To second another comment, I am also working on scraping but for articles. In this particular example I a

That's exactly how i feel. I dropped out of school at 19, taught myself to code, went to a hack school, and have been working as a rails dev for the last 4-ish years. I realized I wanted to go into ML, and instead of trying to take sho
