_Definitely_ a pump and dump. At the least, it's 100% crime. I run a stock discovery algorithm, so I'm pretty on the ball with what retail investors are buying and it was 100% out of the blue. r/wsb found out about $HKD a day

Going to plug it and consider this my weekly marketing complete so that I can justify going back to coding. I'm building https://feetr.io which is a stock discovery algorithm and it's cool because it found two stocks y

Did you read the article or are you commenting because crypto bad? I felt that it made some really good points and would enjoy hearing a counter to them if you have one.

This isn't a meme stock. It's unfair to call it that. This arrived on peoples radars really late. r/WallStreetBets isn't some hidden corner of the internet, you can visit it right now. They're just as caught out as

I'm not arguing for the lack of knowledge, just explaining my experience with a wave of developers that I've encountered. Just to confirm: I believe people should know how computers work from an architectural stand point.

These are people who have gotten jobs and are being paid for it. I only encountered the ones good enough to have passed interviews at companies.

Don't get me wrong, I agree. I just see a lot of people bypass the basics. I think that this kind of thing will become too low level for most developers and it'll become speciality knowledge. I'd say that most developers I&#x

NFTs are a very easy target these days but, cryptobros aside, I do think that there are potentially some interesting uses for the technology. Of course, I don't think that those will ever be fully realised -again, because of the crypto

This may be an outdated opinion based on the people I'm seeing leave bootcamps. I think that underlying architecture is so heavily abstracted these days that you do not need to really know _how_ a computer works in order to make someth

It was awful to experience, even from as far away as Manila. I live on the 21st floor and my building was creaking and groaning. It was my first earthquake so I really thought that I was done for. Sent out some texts telling people that I l

I moved from Github to Gitlab years ago due to ethical issues (open source vs closed). I think that, at the very least, it's beneficial to prop up competitors to Github to prevent them from achieving a monopoly. Too many people current

I've started my own company and am about to launch our product, so I'm learning marketing. I think that I've been lucky so far because most of the traction is based on the strength of the product, and that has meant that I ca

Too many emojis for my taste but they're interesting enough that I get over that hurdle. It does feel like someone trying to advertise to me on Twitter though.

Right now I'm trying out JetBrains mono. I don't really require much from italics but at least some visual distinction. So far I'm enjoying it. I used Victor Mono for a bit there and I'm still unsure if I like cursive it

No, I think that's definitely fair and I absolutely agree. I just used syntax highlighting in place of colour schemes as I feel that's how most people would interpret it these days.

I find it too busy, truth be told. Colours pull my eyes in too many directions when I'm trying to read code. It started because I'm picky when it comes to colour schemes. I'd find one or two things that annoy me and I don&#x2

Not OP but I don't use syntax highlighting, so italics makes the comments stand out a little for when I'm quickly scanning code.

Great read! The Scheme in Scheme section was really fun. Always enjoy Christine's writing.

By no means a new or revolutionary take but important nonetheless. I do, however, believe that this model is just too profitable to go away. People don't really care about these issues and are instead learning to live in the panopticon
