I do not use automated testing, that's probably something I should learn, so thanks for that. I think often for me it's less about reinventing the wheel but more that I easily get stuck in tutorial hell. But good questions

I think the issue is that I can make something simple, say a timer app or todo app, but I don't put it out there because I don't think it's necessarily unique nor signals technical talent. It just shows baseline competency (i

How do you get the news articles? A web scraper or some API?

I made this site called Rashomon. It was a "news-betting" market, where you get de-titled articles and bet on their political bias (left, center-left, center, center-right, right), where the political bias was determined from alls

I hear arguments like this all the time, and it bothers me that such arguments miss that there is something that people like about social media - connecting with people. It clearly is worth it and that's been around since the beginning

I'm no longer really working on it, but I was developing a "newsbetting" site, where you could read de-titled news articles and place a bet on the political bias of the article (far left, left, center, right, far right). Ther

As the other comment and a few others have iterated, software guys don't have as much of a "measure twice, cut once" mentality. It's not so much about the math or technical knowledge, it's more of a mentality. Let m

I mean, the last few lines I wrote still stand if that's what you want to do. I would learn some CAD software, download a few files and try to cnc or 3D print something. Even in that link, I saw a screenshot of some CAD software. I per

I was a mechanical engineer before I shifted to software development (so kind of the opposite of you) and I think you need actual, full on college level schooling to be a mechanical engineer in most cases. The stuff you're focusing on

Not sure about the technical tools I'd use (my default flask and mysql? Or django and postgresql?) but I would definitely revive Vine as part of my platform instead of just letting it die like Twitter did.
