Which computer science books should I watch out for? I am a software developer but without a CS degree and I'd like to learn more CS fundamentals.

I have a few pedantic criticisms of the article. I'm not a local to Kaua'i, but I've lived there a long time. The article uses the correct spelling of Moloka'i, but incorrect spelling of Kauai and Hawaii, which should be

Well, there are a lot of remote job resources to find a company open to that. Specifically I found the position from the Hacker News Who's Hiring. I guess I did well enough with my intro letter and coding challenge to them for them to

Thanks for asking. I live in southern California and do backend development, usually with Node and Go.

Taking advice from the article to share about salary: I have 2.5 years of software development experience but no formal education. I am paid 65k/yr but as a remote contractor, so I pay my own taxes and healthcare, which effectively mak

Sorry, I'm actually in the US. I'm surprised to hear that that's a low salary for the UK, as well.

I understand that, but it still hurts.

by spraak 9y ago
I dunno. I work for a company based in the UK, which seems to have much lower pay than the US. I am paid the same as other senior developers at the company, yet my salary by comparison to US standards is quite low ($70k and no benefits sinc
