   I currently commute 45 minutes, but I do work on the side from home. I find the only time I can truly be productive at home is between 4 AM and 9 AM. When everybody (wife / kid) is up, it's hard to avoid distractions at home. If I

   I've been using the free version for the past several weeks and have been enjoying it. I am an avid Keep user, and StandardNotes has all but replaced that. I find it refreshing writing in markdown for minimal formatting, and the interf

   My wife would give me a good kick in the pants if I ever tried to slack off on my goals and dreams. I always go to her if I need some encouragement.

   I think by not at least having some github / remote competence, you are showing remote employers that your aren't in the right mindset. I'm sure you'd be great at it. But if you want to work remotely, showing you can col

   Tuition + room and board was about $40K for 4 years. The school has a good internship/co-op program, so I was fortunate to step into a junior engineering role right after graduation. I'm a C+/B- student. Graduated with a 2.98

    The first plan is to get a 100% remote job in front-end development to save costs and time, and then use that to continue working on the side. I've been working on the side to learn web development for the past year and a half, and I h

    It's insane. That's exactly what I was told. Working as hard as I can in off hours to change my situation.

    I went to an engineering focused private university, borrowed my way through the whole thing (housing, food, everything), parents didn't pay a dime. Stupid? Yes. But that's reality for a lot of people. I'm shocked those avera

    Exactly! Maybe they are relying on that to be taught by parents?

    Sure, those who clung to the system that taught them to be a good little employee. The traditional education system has led many astray without providing successful alternatives.

    It's mind-blowing how the majority of high school students are lied to each year about the ROI of college. The internet has re-written the rules, and high school educators don't know how to teach that. I would have benefited so mu

    I've been battling with this exact sentiment. I want to spend time skill-building, but my wife is a definite priority. You're right, 3 hours on Wednesday, and getting up early on a Saturday morning is plenty of time to learn somet
