This is a big issue. I personally not a big fan of both Slack and Discord. I think something like Github Discussions is much better. As far as other solutions...maybe Stackoverflow can have something like this too for open source projects
I suggest you try JetBrains IDEs depending on your tech stack. They have got an incredible search capabilities. You can search for a word/function where it has been used across project, you can find and replace across the project, etc. It's amazing!
I would urge those interested in the article to read it at its fullest. At no point did I mention that a CS degree wasn't worth it...I did raise a couple of questions and share a few options that some people might not have known were there. This is definitely not a debate of whether a CS degree is worth it or not...It's my hope that those interested in tech will see that CS is just one among the very many options...and tech as we know it is huge! Each one of us has a place in tech not only those who did CS in college. And there are so many paths to get into tech apart from CS
Thanks for your comment. Believe it or not those are college majors offered at Purdue. You can visit the link I shared!
A major in web dev doesn't sound serious? Why is that so? Do you have an idea of how big web dev is? There's a lot to learn in web dev and it definitely deserves to be a major!
