I'd be curious about studies on something like programming. Many of these talk about cognitive function and typing ability, but they don't mention the actual tasks being done (that I can find). With all due respect to everyone els

I wasn't allowed to do my high school science scholars project on electromagnetic propulsion because it was around the time of Columbine: "You could potentially make a gun out of it".

You can keep doing everything all the coding that you've doing on the windows side. Just set up a shared folder which will instantly update the virtual box. Keep one terminal tab open that's ssh'd into the box, and just switc

Rarely to random people say: "Hey, that looks like a good industry to disrupt!" It usually comes from the people that actually work in the industry and have experienced the inefficiencies first-hand. They then work with outsiders

Oddly, I built something very similar a while ago. I haven't pushed an updated version anytime recently, so there isn't any UI, but here is an example of it: http://spacejunk.herokuapp.com/ I used the subset of th

Comparing your first sentence and that of the author, you're missing what I see as the key word: "skill". I use command line everyday. Probably most developers do as well. But I definitely don't have "skill" in

"why not" comes down to time. There are things I enjoy more than programming. Most of these things I know I wouldn't be successful enough at in a professional sense. I might as well spend that magical time in college where no

The tech sector is a big place. There are countless people who haven't programmed anything in their life and are successful. Assuming you mean in a programming role... I wasn't a CS major and am successful. Continuing education is

My company has hired 4 bootcamp graduates (myself included). 2 of them were a year before me and no longer work in the industry. I'm very confident they would hire me again. They even hired another student I recommended. The major diff

The thing is that bootcamps are also businesses trying to grow. The filtering process exists, but it's not as great as it should be. I took one of them, and wish about 25% of my class hadn't been accepted so we could have actually

My brother took one of the bootcamps. One of his classmates had been a CS major. He took it to bridge the gap between CS and real world application as well as make use of the networking aspects of the program. When I took the course, 4 of m

Beyond being just a crappy study... People have lower performance when they are uncomfortable? Who knew.

"...and the metal bench was designed to be cold and uncomfortable." Yep. I'm sure they went out of their way just to make her uncomfortable. From reading the article, I picked up on a person that steps outside just hoping to

I respect that things need to be done, but I couldn't breath through the stench of an agenda/propaganda while reading half the article.
