> ” in most cups in the past, let's say, 20 years, there is an eliminatory game with an equally great or greater goal” What? I honestly can’t remember of a single one. Which goals are you thinking of?

The fact it was during an eliminatory game of World Cup (that Argentina ended up winning) matters a lot to the importance and beauty of this goal. There are not many opportunities in a player life to do such a thing (unlike national leagu

No, he would have got a yellow card at the most. In the 80s? Not even that. A regular fault and move on.

Probably for the better, as we could all focus on the other goal that he scored that match.

I like the update to this from the “Social Dilemma”: ”Your manipulation is the product” . Ad blockers do not protect you from the algorithms that make you more extreme to your side of social or political topic. People are paying and using

First 2 months just www.freeCodeCamp.org, nothing else. Then I started to also do small projects following tutorials and official documentation (mostly in React). That’s it, no courses.

Off-topic comment: I was having some trouble understanding the text. The author would start explaining some advice and I didn’t know which advice he was referring to. Like ”This is one I struggle with the most” , “this” what? I would go ba

Maybe not the example you seek, but I learned programming (web development) from scratch when I was 37yo. I did it online (freeCodeCamp), by myself. 6 to 8 hours a day for about 8 months until I got my first job. Now I am 41, I am still new

You got me when mentioning multiple columns. My setup is that I have half of my external monitor with VSCode (the other half is the browser) and most of the times three columns in there - folder structure and two files on a split screen. I

I am not a new graduate. I am 41, learned to code when I was 37. I still am in a junior position though, but not first job in tech, nor young.

Not all 250 applications are in the same time frame. I would that the first 4 to 6 weeks I was applying just like you said. Selecting very specific companies and creating higher quality applications. Only when it seemed to be going nowhere

I always use the cover letter spot, never occurred to me that trick. Might be a good idea. Still, the GP argument is that a hiring manager would read the cover letter first. This trick would help with other type of managers

”I’m sure your success rate will improve then” I think you are wrong. I don’t have a CS degree, I don’t have top brand college or employer. You also assume wrong that I didn’t dedicated myself to apply to specific jobs where I was a very

I am on the fence on cover letters. I am pretty sure they are not the most crucial part though. I did write cover letters for most of my applications, a relevant part of them following all the good advice for cover letters, some just copy

I believe I am a good writer. On my first job as a developer I kept getting very positive feedback on my writing. I ended up even starting a newsletter with writing advice for software developers[0]. So 4 months ago I started looking for a

Yep! Just in case I realize it needs to go back for a bit extra heating.

Mine has the 30s button, but also a numeral pad that if I want 5 minutes of heating I just hit the “6” button once and it starts already with 6 minutes. Pretty good UX

Good traction is a useful proxy for stability no? Not necessarily “big names”, but being the first customer of startup would probably be an automatic no according to your criteria, no?

Should I assume from your comment that you never saw code worth improving other than those written by JavaScript developers?

Please explain further what negative characteristics do you apply to the ”js crowd“ as a whole. As a developer who only develops in JavaScript, I feel personally attacked by your post, so I would appreciate if your attack could be more sp
