Would be perfect post end of January for next FOSDEM.

From my experience AI for coders is multiplier of the coder skills. It will allow you to faster solve problems or add bugs. But so far will not make you a better coder than you are.

A good strategy could be to rank on the number of ads ... more ads in the page, lower the rank.

AH, memories. Card faces are from real machine - Novomatic American Poker 2 - back in time did lot of hacks on this platform. Even wrote a emulator in x86 assembly to speedup the development.

This Godot game is quite good to recreate the atmosphere of the ancient video poker machine. Lacks only cards autohold and sound could be a bit more polished, but these are minor things that could be easily improved.

Looks nice but too aggressively asks for monthly subscription ($10/month).

Write a book.

IMHO the most important thing is to keep his interest continuously for several years. I would suggest these steps: 1: Finding what is interesting for him - games, web, automation, hardware, etc. Open source project or good step-by-step tutorial is good starting point. 2: Preparing a build environment 3: Building and running 4: Doing small change in the sources - renaming something, etc. 5: Building and running again ... N: messing deeper with the source, changing complex things N+1: Building and running

In that way he will learn the fundamental process of building something in small steps and endless iterations, messing with other peoples code and navigating easy in it - that one is important too.

Don't even think to continue with Microsoft. Focus on *nix + node.js (MEAN). Probably you will need a prove for these words, sorry - I don't want to spend hours writing arguments and examples. Just one thing: I spend 10 years with .net and even participate in bizspark - it was endless pain and big waste of time, resources and energy. Microsoft only goal is to sell more Windows licenses - everything is around that, it is like big wall and you will realise that when you hit it with your head. World has changed, Microsoft don't know how to survive when hardware and software are so cheap (less than $100 for hardware, less than $10 for software).
