I dunno, coding bootcamp is one thing, but do you really want to be operated on by someone fresh out of a 12 week medical bootcamp? lol

None of what the author describes is unique to London, or the 21st century, or kids. It's all a pretty standard way of speaking here and has been for decades.

I have a friend in the UK facing 14 years in jail for 'online hate', his lawyers say realistically he'll get 2-4 years. As far as I know all he did was some harmless albeit ill-informed 'shit-posting'. I don't

When I learnt Mongo, that was literally the first thing I had to lookup because the docs didn't explain it, or even mention it was insecure. But once it was set up it gives you a login, and I realized it was completely public, anyone c

If a business can survive me not being there for 6 months, then it's not a place I'd want to be at. Imagine having so little impact that you're just an interchangeable cog in a wheel. Although there would be an obvious upside

It's a quick and easy way to separate people who know what they're doing from those that don't. If you know your field, then 'leetcode' is a non-issue, it's like asking a barista to make you a coffee. The only
