Wish I could say the same for America

Seriously school sounds like it fucking SUCKS now. School sucked when I was in high school but it seems like it REALLY sucks now

That’s really cool. I always thought web components needed something more to be really useful. I work with vanilla web components at work all the time and they’re not really that fun to work with

Active duty IDF soldiers? Or former IDF soldiers; because you’re trying to “out” former military Israeli civilians who happen to work for facebook.

Do you believe that it is right to target any former member of the Israeli military, who is now a civilian, with violence?

You’re advocating for violence against civilians

You understand that you’re effectively arguing for targeting Israeli civilians with violence and advocating for genocide. You’re explicitly endorsing terrorism

“how to problem solve” and “use logic” are, I believe, myths. When you teach someone to implement quicksort, all you’ve done is taught them to implement quicksort. Classroom based lectures and rote memorization do not impart any kind of broader “problem-solving” ability. This is an ex post rationalization by the perpetrators of the education system to justify their own existence. I place the value of what they do very low

If it’s about problem solving and using logic, why do we need to memorize quicksort? That’s not an example of using logic or problem solving

I want the ability to fully detach each view, pin/unpin, etc. like I can in visual studio.

I guess what I want is visual studio, but with the language and plugin support of vscode.

Maybe “blocky” isn’t the right word, but I dislike that everything is just a flat rectangle and not very readable. There’s no depth and very poor visual separation. I would like a document type UI where I can rearrange the components arbitrarily, like in Visual Studio

Maybe being alone works for some people, but the desire for intimate relationships is a biological drive in human beings

That is absolutely not true, it’s just made up pop statistics spread by misanthropes that misses the nuances of the data

Bruh why would you wish something like that on someone

It’s an internet thing. There’s a lot of people online who code but have no jobs. 4chan’s /dpt/ is full of them. They all code in ANSI C or Lisp or something

It would be a sausage fest

I’ve never understood the appeal of meeting people at bars. If you want to build a relationship with someone, why not do it with someone you already know? Ask out a coworker or classmate or something. Why approach random people in bars purely based on their appearance?

It’s a problem to have so many single, disaffected men out there

I started dating my wife when we were both in high school so I’m lucky that I never had to try to start dating in my 20s. But when I was in high school asking out a girl was as simple as walking up and saying “do you want to go out with me?”

I asked out girls that I KNEW there was a 99% chance they’d say no, but I asked anyways. The worst they ever said was “no”. Nobody ever laughed in my face or told all their friends or spread rumors about me, they just said no thank you and I moved on.

This was like 2009-2013 mind you; I think young people are a lot more cruel now than they were then.

Only way to get hired with your credentials is with some serious networking. In your local area, look for code/tech meetups and talk with people. Look for “Code and Coffee” on meetup or facebook or something (though I must warn against caffeine consumption for teenagers!). You’ll most likely have to look for an internship rather than a Junior Dev position at first, which is typically the pipeline that companies use to hire Jr Engineers.

Another option is to look for “Tier 3 support” or “Integrations engineers”. Often, companies will look for people with minor coding skills to work directly with clients to help implement the company product for the client (for example, adding some custom widget to their wordpress site, new features for their salesforce instance, etc.)

These engineers don’t create the company product but they do get some experience scripting things and often they can use this position to transition to a full time engineering role. In my experience, these roles have far lower requirements to entry

I curse the sadist who decided True should be uppercase in Python
