I agree with this, but it seems so crazy to me. How can money be a motivator when you're that rich. I'm not even "rich" but I'm already at a point where money is far from my #1 motivator.
I LOVE puppies, but if I had a trillion of them the last thing I'd want is another puppy.
The phone. Wow. Great solution..... Literally the whole point of putting information online is so your employees don't have to waste time answering the same question 999999x per day.
> If you don't want to do business with them just because you shun platforms
I don't do business with them because I can't access their hours, menu, services, etc... I've had this happen a few times. I'm not avoiding these businesses because I'm a snob. It's because I literally can't access the information. So, I go back to google and find a business that provides the information I need to decide if the business meets my needs before traveling to their location.
OP mentioned using this to scale WordPress instances in one of the comments. So I assume that had something to do with the choice. It probably wouldn't be TOO hard to support multiple dialects of SQL in the future though.
They explicitly don't have a "nostr coin" or do anything "on chain" which I applaud them for especially since the Venn Diagram of Nostr and the crypto community is basically a circle.
I did this tutorial series to try to get some context/foundation in deep learning, and the first lesson was building the bird thing from this comic. It was really easy and fun. The whole course is great. Highly recommend for anyone who has a programming background and wants to get a solid intro to deep learning.
A friend of mine got roughly half this sentence (12 years) for possession of cocaine with intent to sell. To be fair, was a large amount of cocaine and she 100% intended to sell it. However, she lost 10 years of her life (after good behavior) for being in possession of a < $1m worth of a regulated substance. Not sure how that fits on the spectrum against stealing $8b, but it all seems pretty disproportionate to me.
I believe there is better. Applied skills like software development should be taught with hands-on education.
It's no different than becoming an electrician. You don't go to university to learn that. You go to an apprenticeship program.
It is my opinion that computer related trades should follow the format of the more physical trades. ALSO, you typically get PAID for an apprenticeship program. So, my opinion that it is in-fact a better way to learn aside. It's certainly financially superior.
> There are bootcamps that are much higher quality than this.
imo... bootcamps are much higher quality than most universities. I've interviewed at least 1000 engineers at this point, and I've interviewed a ton of top tier university graduates that are essentially useless and need to be trained up, but most bootcamp graduates can "hit the ground running" (but lack foundational skills). The idea that software engineering is some academic endeavor is so flawed. It's a trade, and should be taught in trade schools.
(note I'm speaking of developers / software engineers. If you want to do computer research (etc) then I lean toward academic backgrounds)
