TS is lipstick on a pig

Very compelling argument.

Thank you so much!

I have the same feeling. Who knew I would be working on PHP in 2023. And surprisingly it's so much better than JS at the backend at least.

So finding a niche. Got it. This does make a lot of sense. Thank you.

Damn, that's quite a journey. So happy to read through it. I think I wouldn't say that I haven't accomplished much because if you go through my LinkedIn and know me personally you would say I am in the top 10% in my country but (very sorry but there is but), it's all spread out. It took me years to consolidate part of that knowledge and build a portfolio that includes one of Big 3 consulting firms and I missed out on building cool stuff in my favorite programming languages and tools. Missed out learning from cool courses and much more. I shouldn't do this with myself because of clinical depression but I can't help it.

Hmm, yes, this is helpful. Thank you.

I couldn't agree more but there is so much stuff to learn about. Also, learning for the sake of learning is great but I do wish to be paid for my ability to learn at a rapid pace which I am struggling with at the moment.

Yeah, it's not about the age but more about the constant nagging feeling that I get. Anyways, I appreciate the good words.

Thank you so very much for sharing story. This is so heartwarming. I will surely keep all of your advice in mind. Thank you again.

I am sharing this as part of a personal research project. I will close the link for viewing after 24 hrs. Please share your thoughts. Thank you

I have been getting a lot of feedback from my colleagues for the past 2 years or so that I am one of the smartest people that they know of. My mother doesn't like me highlighting the fact that I am smart in front of other people especially our extended family (she thinks they will be jealous and wish ill of me) and pushes me to do better by working harder and keeping my head down.

TBH, I do not consider myself smart but inquisitive. I always try to create mental models based on the simplest explanations of a concept that is otherwise hard to understand. Taking care of my mental health is another thing I do proactively as I suffer from clinical depression. Will all that being said, I go through small obsessions every month or so and that pushes me to know everything about a certain topic and then summarize it at the end in my head. Being smart isn't always a natural characteristic, and it is definitely something you can work on.

I think if you are experienced and want to get started right away then picking up a YouTube tutorial playlist by any of the top tech YouTubers might work out for you.

Otherwise, freeCodeCamp's (New) Responsive Web Design certificate will make you comfortable with the syntax and DOM manipulation.

I think it's April fools. It's a joke at the expense of open source and should be taken down ASAP.

Oh that's why I can't find those lectures. Those saved me in my undergrad. Amazing content from amazing teachers.

After asking the question, I looked for an answer and found the is-object npm package. It utilizes a null check to make sure a variable is an object. This utility has 6.6 million weekly downloads. The logic in the isObject function will break because the second condition would then be invalidated. Resulting in a bad day for 6.6 million projects. It took me a while to digest the magnitude. Maybe because I just started as an SWE.

Why even? Why don't they fix it?

In my country, the trend of smoking tobacco in tech circles is going down. I am not sure why but it was considered quite "cool" if you code and smoke. There was a trend of smoking cigarettes after every hour to have that much-needed break to think about the problems that you were stuck on and bitch about HR. However, I am seeing a decline probably due to vaping.

Not even a question these days.

Got it, thank you.

Why now? I mean it's been only 20 odd years or so since modern programming became popular. And, it's not a lot. Let people learn how to code, make mistakes and then learn from those mistakes. Pre-cooked meals are not as good as home cooked goodness.

I did go through the guidelines but I couldn't find anything mentioned on why I couldn't post even though I am long time lurker. Anyway, I can post now. Thank you for the comment.

This in nice.

Darknet diaries for sure. Xbox episodes top my all time favourites list.
