Doesn't this require a bachelors degree though?

"Supports a whole set of relational databases"

Includes MongoDB in the list.

TBH bullet journaling has been great for me. Making monthly, daily, and future logs has dramatically increased my productivity/anxiety.

I used to keep all these thoughts cluttered in my head and then they became blockers because if I did one I'd be thinking about the other.

While I use it to organize my thoughts and put plan to action, some may use it just an outlet for whatever.

Anybody think there is a real benefit to finding like minded/same focus freelancers or remote workers and getting together to work in a coffee spot or co working space?

I think there is a deeper issue here with immigration labor. The only one's applying to work at 7-11 or a lot of these minimum wage jobs are people who are not dependable or are immigrants without the proper paper work. So if you hire the non dependable worker you are going to be going through the hiring process every 3 months.

Most people you'd like to hire often say "Why would I come work for you when Uber pays me X?" Uber has made it a lot harder to find dependable workers for convenience stores because most stores aren't willing to raise the wage so high that would eat away into their profit of owning a store in the process. I'm all for fair wage practices but at a certain point you'll be seeing a lot more 7-11's for sale than people willing to buy them. The economics will stop making sense to purchase convenience stores or rather start many small businesses because the wage to pay out will be too high.

where have you read this?

^ yea I'm also not seeing anywhere that this is true. I'd love to hear that it is.

A biggest problem with farming these days is labor. Period. Growers (farmers) cannot manage 6000 acres of land. They rely on their crop consultants to tell them where to spray and what they need to spray. Once you start automate these tasks, e.g. crop scouting, then the grower and the consultant can use data to spray less and produce a higher quality crop.

Do you ever feel "bad" about cutting corners early on to push a product but now others are working on the the same codebase? I have this feeling constantly.

hey man i love my boss :).

I feel like this approach is easier for smaller startups. But what about bigger places like google, apple, or facebook. My background isn't your traditional CS background but I have over 4 years of experience on a site that does million+ in traffic but I can't even get my resume sniffed at by those companies.

I get the perception that people are afraid that these bootcamps will saturate the marketplace and bring salaries and software quality down. Which could happen, but it also might not. Many of these grads could go on to create companies themselves and create new jobs, and hey before you know it you'll be working for a 'bootcamp' grad.

I'm a bootcamp grad and don't believe everyone can 'learn' to code. Same that everyone can't learn to be a doctor. Everyone has the aptitude to be spoonfed coding principles or medical terms, but its up to them to really understand the concepts and then take them to the next level. Many of the grads you see coming out of the bootcamps may not end up going down the track of software engineering, they may end up in product, qa, devops, etc... Many of them might not even become senior because they either don't have the desire to, or just don't have the capacity to do so. At the end of the day these bootcamps offer people tools, its up to the people who graduate from them to really sharpen and build great things from those tools.

These are great, but they're bugfixes. You'd finish them in the first few months. Then what are you going to do? Stare at an aquarium all day?

Bugfixes are not feature enhancements.

Also this makes you sound like a pleasant person to work with.....a real go getter.

Lets say I'm searching for a house.

If I go to redfin.com on my phone vs the native redfin app, there is a distinct difference in UX. The native app by far surpasses the mobile app in terms of performance and usability.

Now this is one example but can be said for many sites whose functionality isn't just to display static content.

Were you ever worried about your reputation?

Now I spend more time on side projects and lately my own start-up. Learned alot in the process and wouldn't trade it.

This comment really resonates with me as I think this is going to be a crucial learning point for me down the road.
