I actually really enjoy doing katas on https://www.codewars.com/ , especially when I'm ramping up on a language. You solve a short problem, and then immediately see how other people solved it. I'll frequently write

Because dozens of bootcamps are churning out tens of thousands of candidates a year. There's only so many entry level positions to fight over, especially if they all have essentially the same skill set (full stack web).

Go with what you know can get the job done. It's fun to use new tech, but Java isn't going anywhere and it's very stable and performant at this point. Your concerns should be the following: 1 - will this stack get the job don

Elixir really isn't just Ruby with better performance. The two look syntactically similar (and have some similar tooling, from rubyists who've moved over to elixir), but that's about where their similarities end. Ruby really

I find that I struggle with offices... you're stuck there for 8+ hours (even if you don't work that way, you need to create an impression), but after several hour of intense focus and the noise and chaos of an open office, I can f

I played through it for the first time with the remake. Not always laugh out loud funny, but some bits were so witty and creative I loved it (the sword fighting bit was great).

Publishers do this every time a famous author dies or becomes incompetent (in the legal sense of the word). Go Set a Watchman was a very early draft of To Kill a Mockingbird but sold to the public as an uncovered sequel novel a short while

Because it further reduces the number of homes available for people to actually live (which is why we have zoning laws), which inflates rent/housing prices. This forces the bottom rung out of the city, because they can't afford

I watched a few of his early stock evaluation videos, really informative. Shkreli's a bit sociopathic, but he's wickedly smart, in his spare time he teaches himself javascript and organic chemistry.

What I've found interesting is the number of smut games and comics creators that are thriving (sometimes making their creator 6 figures a year) because of patreon.

We keep beyond burgers stocked at my place in the east bay. Delicious, and not that much more expensive than good ground beef.

+1 on "The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook". It's a generally good introduction to OTP, though the book has a lot more errors than I'm used to seeing (their github code differs without explanation from the code in the
