I completely agree. The basics of networking, sockets, and the like are probably better taught before frameworks even come into the picture. To me, the idea is to get a shallow understanding of everything involved from hitting a page, submi

You're right, it is valuable to have a resource like this. I guess I was taking issue with the title of the submission. I think something like this is great to introduce to someone who already has begun to get their bearings straight.

I'm planning to introduce react after he has a few small js projects under his belt. I agree vanilla JS is not enough to land a job.

I'm currently teaching my brother web development and I guarantee if I were to show him this, he'd just quit. This is way too much information. All a beginner needs to know is JS and the basics of HTML/CSS/SQL. If they h

I agree the social movements sometimes go too far, but I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good, in this case. Another issue, I think, is media coverage. I think we often conflate the coverage of the subject with the subject itself. Ho

Hey, I appreciate your response, and share in your sentiment that responses on this subject can be very depressing. But I do think we as a society are trending towards equality. As much as the internet is supposed to connect us, subjects li

I think most people would agree that having rational, emotionally detached conversations about complex and sensitive subjects would be beneficial to society, so in that, I agree with the author. And from his writing, it does seem his effort

The creator of the site said they're working on updating it. Should be up in a couple weeks. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/a4urje/rap...

This is something I've argued about a lot recently, and I think it's very important to be aware of. All too often in political debates, the subject of some dystopian scenario from fiction will come up. Fiction serves an important

What a great talk. He brings up a lot of very important points that we all in tech need to consider and keep in mind.

I have a general rule to ignore any statistical interpretation in articles like these. Data interpretation is hard. There are a lot of variables that need to be accounted for, and under the best circumstances of academic peer review, we sti

We've been doing the same thing, and it's great. We've also taken more time to sell unused items, even if they're only worth $10-$20. I look at it as a more effective form of recycling.

Your argument is both rude, and doesn't logically follow from the article.

It's definitely an apocryphal anecdote, but I'd believe it. I was a Scientologist for many years, and the number of similarities between a Dianetic Clear Valentine Michael Smith from A Stranger in a Strange Land is quite uncanny.

This is what I prefer as well. Let me use my OS's package manager for managing my packages.

I'm probably being picky, but I would also include that the CLI be a self-contained binary. I'm tired of managing Python / Ruby / Node versions.

Capitalism and free markets aren't without their shortcomings, especially when left unchecked, but they are extremely important tools to successful government and society. Perhaps the criticisms you hear are aimed at unchecked, unregul

This was a pretty interesting read, and something I've often wondered about. I remember when LeBron James joined the NBA. It just baffled me at the time how some 18 year old high schooler could be so much better than professional playe

May I ask why you feel the need to act so hostile on this thread?

If you feel this way, maybe you should leave this dead nation's website.

This looks really well done. I've been meaning to do this for some time. While I agree it's best to learn to properly configure your tools, this can be a good first step for newbies. The problem I run into with sharing dotfiles is

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I'll definitely give this a read.

I'm reading a couple books at the moment. Valley of Genius[1] is a history of silicon valley, but told via excerpts and quotes from influential members of the SV community. It's quite a fascinating book, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for linking this. I've gone ahead and purchased the ebook and will start working through this. If nothing else, it looks like it will cover a lot of the topics I was hoping to learn in a course setting, so should be a good pr

I hadn't heard of Lambda school, but this looks like a great option. The fact that it's available online, and available after work hours is really appealing. Do you have experience with Lambda school?

Wow, this looks like a great resource. I'm not currently in the bay area, but this looks perfect otherwise. I'm going to look into this a bit more, thanks!
