Yeah, suburbia is not the problem. I'd much rather live in suburbia than a city. But if you can't go outside on your own, that loses a lot of the benefit.
> I'd go so far as to say that build tools shouldn't even have an option to automatically pull the latest - "version" should be a required field for all dependencies
When I'm developing, I frequently grab latest versions. Until i share, I want to keep up to date.
They are all very pretty, but they are also the sort of photograph that it's hard to spot errors in. What color should it be? What is the texture of the rocks? I have no idea. This could be an accurate picture or an inaccurate one, I have no way of knowing.
Picture of the human face are best for picking up artifacts. You'll spot anything wrong almost immediately, you have hardware for that.
I've seen the same tutoring math. It's tough to get through, as it's a learning style that got them this far. Of course, not they are needing tutoring, so it's stopped working.
How does writing code by hand fix this? They can still write the same things from the same understandings. I've had some luck having people explain things to me, without looking at the code/math.
What is absolutely insane about this disease is the Tasmanian devils that have this do NOT have cancer in the way you'd think about. They have an invasive parasite.
So, my understanding (layman who reads about these things), is that, long ago, one particular Tasmanian devil got cancer. This devil bit another and transferred some cells, which grew on the recipient. Note that these cells belong to the original donor. ALL of these cells, on all of the affected devils, genetically belong to the donor. It's literally a separate parasitic life form that reproduces parthenogenetically. Like "Henrietta Lacks", the cells are still alive, long after the original being is gone.
So, none of the recipients cells has cancer. They have someone else's cancer living on them!
There used to be many of these, but they became mostly scams that preyed on desperate job seekers. By the time I started job hunting, many years back, this industry was viewed about like nigerian princes. No sensible person would deal with them.
There are career coaches to be found these days, I'm not intending to include them in this rant. I've had a few friends use them, and I've talked to one and he was reasonable.
As an individual, I'd avoid anyone that wants a percentage. Specified fee for helping with resume, linkedin profile, etc., fine.
