It's not a book, but I loved it and it is really helpful.

There is a linuxserver.io container image now, which should act as drop in replacement for the paperless-ng linuxserver image.

Haven't tried it yet, but it looked good so far

Re:Ask HN: Why aren't you coding? on Saturday February 13, 2021 @07:15AM (#26123181)
Meetings, most of them without bullet points or a specific topic.

I'm coordinating another devs too and that costs less time then meetings to projects. We don't have the best product owner culture, so I need to fill that role too. But we are working on that topic atm and we are reaching the first goals.

It's funny and I like it, but sometimes I just block time in my calendar to do tasks two weeks ahead. So nobody is able to schedule me on a meeting without asking before.

That makes most people think about if I'm really necessary.

Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your financials? on Tuesday February 11, 2020 @01:24PM (#22301007)
Well, we have weekly budgets for living costs, monthly budgets for savings ect. We keep track with an app and avoid card payments if possible.

This works good for us. Pretty manual, but works out well.

Re:Is TypeScript the only language your company needs? on Friday May 03, 2019 @01:05PM (#19820163)
Thanks, exactly my thoughts.

At my work we wouldn't be able to serve our legacy and non-legacy codebases if we could only use typescript.

Yeah, you can only use it if you start new. But if company exists some time longer you can't only rely on TS

This is a good idea, we have to build so much swim-lane-diagrams, why not including him.

He only can learn from this.

Thank you for your feedback

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:24PM (#19751624)
Nice, i got hooked up the same second i started and needed to force me stopping.

Good Link.

Nice additions.

I am self-tought and i made the experience that being wrong helped me to evolve. I guess i grinded the gears of many people in bulletin boards or irc channels in the moment i came by with my naive solutions.

But getting corrections and new insights helped me to grow. This is something i want to transfer to my trainee aswell.

I'm thankful for your thoughts :)

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @11:30AM (#19749168)
Well, he has the basics like data control structures, database usage, a little bit OOP. I think the missing link is how to build real world processes with it.

I'm sure we will find basics that are missing and will have to fill that with knowledge, but we have a good starting point.

By what you said above, don't underestimate yourself there. Building scripts that touch real things to make it better working for you (and others) is a great step on the journey to write good code! Thanks for your feedback :)

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @10:06AM (#19748238)
Great link and feedback.

I will give that book a shot!

Git is something on my earlier Todo list, I just introduced the existence of git at first and think we will investigate there more soon.

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @09:50AM (#19748064)
Awesome, I already thought about that this will be a task I can learn a lot from too.

Thanks for your answer

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @09:41AM (#19747940)
Yeah, it is a 3 years apprenticeship.

He already has some knowledge because he visited an IT focused school here in Germany and his father is a coder too.

So I don't need to explain loops, or if statements and can go a bit further in logic and processes

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @09:28AM (#19747823)
Wow, thanks for your answer.

Point 3 is something I haven't thought of yet. During reviews I pointed on some issues, not every. But that was never something I had a specific reason for, I was just focused on what we want to learn in this lesson.

I will keep that even more in mind now.

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @05:01AM (#19746272)
That is indeed an awesome answer. I will follow that! Thank you.
Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @04:09AM (#19746037)
I'm not able to answer all your comments right now. But i want to let you know, that i read all of them and i love your feedback.

Up to this moment i learned that going with real world examples is the way to go. Since i work in a software department of a real world company and mainly code Inhouse solutions, i am sure that i can provide a lot of them.

Beeing available for Questions and Feedback and provide Learning Material and doing sessions about technology and patterns, before they are needed to solve a problem is the next thing i noted down in my plannings.

I am very thankful for all the Feedback and can't wait to get more!

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @04:01AM (#19745999)
True, he have to learn himself. But giving that directions and insights is something that makes me happy.

Well after reading your message, i just hope to stick in the "good teacher" category soon.

My feelings say i found a good student who wants to learn, so i have a rock solid base here.

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:56AM (#19745961)
I never experienced a coding camp (and i don't know if this is a thing here in Europe).

But that sounds reasonable and i just made a note about this for my plannings.

Thanks for your insights.

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:54AM (#19745949)
Awesome. Yeah i can not assume that everyone is an autodidact and teaches himself.

I will follow your suggestion.

Well, over 6k tutors sounds like you found ways to guide people successfully through the process.

My Question about this is, was peer-programming a standard tool, or just plain code-reviews?

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:51AM (#19745940)
I am lucky that he already have those coding basics and wants to learn. And i experienced in his intership that he came back the other day and said "i tried this at home, how could i do this better" and was all open for suggestions ect
Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:50AM (#19745927)
Wow, thank you two. That's something i experienced before with my internships. One learned better while solving some atomized questions and the other one learned better in live coding sessions.

I am glad that i will start with only one Person here and i can focus on how he learns :)

Re:Ask HN: How to Teach Coding? on Thursday April 25, 2019 @03:47AM (#19745910)
His father is a coder too and he is making a specific IT school here. So he comes with basic knowledge about data structures, databases and how code is build.

Yeah, real world problems are what my favorite way to teach particular ways of building things. No one wants to build the 7th calculator.

Thanks for your Feedback!

Ask HN: How to Teach Coding?

I finally did it and I get my first Trainee.I already teached coding to internships for a few weeks. But this time I have three years to share my knowledge and grow with him.I already checked methods and stuff online like pair programming, visualization of data flows ect.But what I would love to know is, what has worked for you guys on both sides. Sharing knowledge and get trained.I want to be...
