My issue is it seems to be you have to dedicate your childhood to getting into a top 10 college. I have teenage children who are looking at starting high school. I've been looking at Youtube videos reading books etc. It seems the only

I'm still going, but the biggest issue I'm finding is that knowledge keeps turning over. I have made big efforts in the past to learn technologies, languages and libraries that became obsolete then starting all over again. Softwar

In general avoiding fees is definitely a good thing. Its one of those things that hindsight finds the best strategy and they were kinda lucky about the crazy bull market in the USA in this time. If you were a Pension fund in France, Austral

No I think most countries value high skilled migrants. In most countries its the only way you can migrate. The difference is whether they should get tax breaks. In fact the USA is probably the hardest country in the world to work as a digit

Agreed, if you're coming from a different environment, Spring is a huge learning curve. Spring Boot I think makes it worse, too much magic.

Yeah I got interested in Solana this year. The tech is cool, I did the tutes and want to make a small project but I literally can't think of something useful to build.

Yeah my Dad has this too. I expected similar. Lots of rules in the USA makes it difficult to do anything different.

My house moved to smart meters over a year ago. Still get the one total usage amount per month. Even if I log in online there is no way to see what I use even per day. I do think we need to have a price that changes during the day but I sus

I used to be a hardcore Windows dev but never figured out powershell. I actually ended up writing scripts in C# and had a utility to load and run it.

Best crypto scam I see right now is the (MEV) bot scam. There are a bunch of promoted videos like below. Just download some code, connect it to your ETH wallet and you'll make 20-50-100% profits daily. I reported some over a month ago

I'm a Java programmer who's been at it for 20 years. Its really difficult to find a definitive modern Java guide right now because there are multiple paradigms that are popular. There is the old school - everything has an interfac

I'd love to know if working like this is enjoyable or a chore.

Absolutely true, but also people who know about a subject often can't see the forest for the trees and an outside perspective brings new detail you haven't seen before.

Remember when the Pi first came out, it was cheap for small hobby projects. Rpi 5 is $80? At these prices you might as well get a refurb x86 micro pc.

The other point specifically for devs is how interviewing is such a different skill to normal work. The people with the best careers are almost always interviewing. If you constantly using that muscle you get really good. The guy I know who

I'm actually on my 9th employer and its surprising the difference - they pay people well, very few contractors, no outsourcing, constructive feedback, encouragement for internal mobility. Every other place was the opposite.

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2016/... You are right, but I think in the 10 years lots of the 55-59 people die off so wont be larger. Then the pyramid shrinks.

Same everywhere. 100 years ago my great grandparents all lived on farms, now we're all in big cities. I always assumed I'd go somewhere quiet after retirement but that isn't looking possible anymore.

I always assumed when the baby boomers retired there would be a flood of big family houses coming up for sale. I see it in my parents that they're pretty comfortable staying in the family house as long as possible, I'm happy with

To me is that there are so few problems now days, people reach adulthood without having to deal with any challenges. Yes some people get some traumatic event like always but most people this isn't an issue, its a life of too much stuff
