I found this fascinating. Google, now with a market cap of about $2 trillion, had to "borrow" machines from other researchers to deploy and run code. Talk about resourcefulness!

These two lines got me laughing: "...C#, C-sharper?...", "...vanilla JavaScript, chocolate JavaScript..."

"...when we've found product/market fit and start to scale the company, we will invest in more testing. We promise.." :P

StackOverflow has been immensely helpful for me. When stuck on a programming problem, I usually look for solutions on StackOverflow or read the framework/programming language's docs.

It's highly unlikely that StackOverflow will slowly die. It's a very MOATY service: strong band, and network effects.

For me it was CS50 Web Programming with Python and JavaScript taught by Brian Yu.

By background is non-technical and tried to learn web programming by reading books and watching YouTube videos. However, I failed multiple times because these sources lacked in depth or breadth or explained poorly.

In early 2022 I enrolled in CS50W through Edx. The course contained the right mix of depth and breadth, and the topics were very well explained: Brian is an amazing teacher. The course also included interesting projects that I had to implement. For example, building a Wiki, a small scoped Twitter clone, and finally a project of my own. I had so much fun learning! Since taking the course I built two web apps from spec to launch on my own.
