Personally, whenever I feel lonely I would go volunteer and help people. It makes you feel connected and really puts things into perspective (like, even if your startup doesn't do well, you would still be surrounded by people who enjoy

If a person has 3-5 kids, you might think his/her reproduction doesn't scale. But what if their kids went on to have 3-5 kids, and so on and so forth. Population grows healthily. IMO, that's scaling with high quality. The ot

I run my coding camp to teach adults how to code. Although not entirely similar to the Socratic method, we focus on asking questions to teach because it is the most effective and it scales incredibly well (so far). Here's a glimpse of

Hello! I've been running a coding bootcamp (for free) to teach our local community. I came up with this idea because I believe that our students could benefit a lot from technical interaction with engineers. I personally know engineers

My wife built an app that teaches people (foreigners) how to speak english. Based on the words in their flashcards, we generate dynamic sentences so during practice their flashcards are rarely the same. For example, if I have (happy, sad, r

In April I left google to teach people how to code. I teach for free and I focus primarily on low income adults who are making less than 30k / year in the bay area. Throughout their lives, my students have felt that they were 'beh

as you get more experienced it becomes less of "where can I learn x" and more of "how can I do x". You should be able to take a high level concept and look for ways/tools to implement it. For starters, web devs shou

Here's how our home router is set up at our code school: I bought a cheap gigabit router (from craigslist for around $30) and then bought a wireless range extender ($60) for the far end of the house. The router is not connected to the

Thank you for telling us about preact. Is there a good react-native alternative? Our team has bound our codebase pretty tightly to react and react-native (optimized for code sharing).

I believe that students should work on the ability to come up with data structures that solves different sets of real life problems, and get good at it. If they can do that, then they should be able to easily implement a linked list or grap
