Nobody cares how much learning you did but how hard it was to get into the university you got your piece of paper from. Coding bootcamps eventually figured this out so they started to have selective admissions. Universities like Harvard hav

My cynical take why TUIs are back is because people operating in the terminal became a signal that you were competent and once people figured that out everybody started doing it. The reason people were operating in the terminal is lost of t

>I genuinely challenge someone spending $5-$10k a month to demonstrate how that turns into $50-$100k in value At a lot of businesses $5-10k/mo of AI spend doesnt even translate into $5-10k/mo value. Churning out code was rarely

Rust is cool but there is way too much dogma around its memory safety and static typing in general being a panacea. Most errors are not type errors. Two days after Cloudfare's little Rust hiccup that took the internet down for a day I
