I disagree with this. I feel like the general idea of "learning to code" is simply typing commands into a machine that then get executed exactly. The coding part teaches very little, just mainly how dumb machines are compared to s

This is what happens when you just let anyone with an asylum claim into your country and don't have a plan for how to handle the actual numbers of people. What ticks me off the most is that at least the german gov't has known abou

Hmm, C# and .NET arent used that widely in the Startup scene, still I think you would have the best chance with startups, especially if you were willing to learn go/ruby/python. For the areas you mentioned, I would try Stuttgart,

You are equating MRI with Ruby. Most would probably agree, still I wonder if that should be the case. If someone came along and fixed some ruby weak points (concurrency, performance, subtle bugs) I would be happy to call it ruby just like w
