stewartjarod··on Ask HN: Is it possible for someone to not be cut out for software engineering?
Find a mentor (gray beard) someone who has been around in the industry for at least 7-10 years professionally. Ask them questions about everything. Then get them to interview you in person and whiteboard. Everyone hates whiteboards but that's what the big 4 do and they aren't really ever going to stop so the more practice with your mentor the better.

I prefer companies that give code challenges that you work on and then discuss your decisions and thought process on solving the problem.

stewartjarod··on Developers are the autoworkers of our generation
There will be another distinguishing mark on programmers. Those that can write their own code and those that can fumble the pieces of other's code together to create a product.

There will be a lot more of the latter in the future than there has ever been.

stewartjarod··on We Need a Basic Income Guarantee
The New Deal didn't bring our economy out of the recession of the 30's. World War II did that.

If you would like actually discuss why subsidies are bad for the economy and the world market let's have the discussion. If you want to just throw high school economic terms around then I will stop reading. I'm sober now and this disgusts me.

I have a bachelors in Economics and would love to point you to resources that show how subsidies are mostly bad for any economy. Perhaps if you just researched economical efficiencies of subsidies and the negative impact that it can have across markets that would get you started.

stewartjarod··on We Need a Basic Income Guarantee
Because ec1, ec2, and ec3 turned out so well. corn subsidies, oil subsidies, and energy subsidies are working well too... You're a towel.

subsidies of any kind won't help an already failing economy.
