The real issue imho is they undid server side rendering and you have to download tons of code just to see a single tweet. Other countries are slow because of the round trips and initial download and not so much from the backend since everyone shares that.

i think it should be taught but not as a math class, instead there needs to be a "how to live" class that includes understanding basic statistics you encounter in the news, budgeting, loans, taxes, etc.

I built an iOS app that let's you search the photos on your iPhone, iPad or Mac faster and much better with natural language than Google Photos. It also is completely local to your phone. No upload. Is that interesting or is searching too rare?

In 1995 my gf (12 yrs older) was making 35k consulting and I got a job making 30k consulting as a software engineer. I was annoyed about it and she said I had to pay my dues. A year later I was making 75k.

If they admit the same number of people every year while the population is increasing wouldn't you expect that those people are better and better every year? Not sure if it fully explains the graph but the hypothesis should be tested.

Hot take:
C# exists because of a lawsuit.
Go exists because of a lawsuit.
Both of them are just variations on Java.
Rust exists for a reason.
JavaScript exists for a reason.
Python exists for a bad reason.
The software industry is rapidly converging on just three languages: Go, Rust, and JS.
It would be smart to learn one of those really well, and have at least a working acquaintance with the other two.

it really is an unending cycle of people discovering they can build the whole app in frontend javascript and then finally realizing everything is faster if they do it on the server. if your project is more site than app, you should look at it.

Why would you compare average rent for a 1-bedroom with the poverty line? Should probably look at something like 25th percentile rent for a room in a house. Median 1-bedroom rent should be compared with median single income (>40k) at worst.
