I have foster kids. The one is 15. This is kind of the age that I started with programming, hacking and linux. Things are very different now. How do I get him interested in the topic, how do I get him learning programming in a fun way? Please don't tell me to teach him scratch. I personally found scratch to be boring as hell.
What are some paid development tools that you just couldn't live without?Here are some I use. Some not completely dev related, but used in my workflow:* Monokai-Pro theme for VSCode * Magnet app in OSX (Can be used to split the screen)
I'm looking for a good beginner programmer course for my wife and a friend of mine that want to learn programming.Any reccomendations?Paid or free?I have looked at allot of courses. Probably the best is Automating Boring stuff with Python, but its Python.I'm looking for a really easy to follow course that is really practical, but isn't python.Preferably Javascript or something else. I remember...
Lol what problem.
If people don't wanna see adds, surely they can just use a good adblocker.
No excuse not to make more money. You can start a business if you have more money and employ a bunch of not so privileged people.
I've had quite a few tech blogs and some did quite well. I'm in a country (South Africa) where stripe isn't available so I can't monetize it using medium.Any ideas besides doing a paid substack on how I can monetize a tech blog?Just curious how other people do it. Only thing I could think of was to do adds on the site for a store where I sell tech related tshirts.Thanks :)
My wife studies Business communication and is pretty good with marketing for small to medium businesses. How does one sell marketing to companies that are strapped for cash already in this economy? She is looking to start a marketing company.
On days that you don't feel like running just go out , run down the street for a few metres and come back.
I work as a devops engineer and I have quite a big amount of experience. I thought of this side hustle idea to start helping companies conduct interviews to find devops engineers (and then get paid for it).Anyone know if this is a thing and how I could get gigs doing this?I basically want to help companies who have nobody around in the devops field to be able to hire competent devops folk.
I see many website like Rapid API and many more where people can build API's and sell access to their API.Besides by doing market research, how can one find out what are API's that people are actually looking for and willing to pay for?
I don't exactly want to clone youtube. But let's say I wanted to make a website where people can upload videos and others can play them in their browser. What would be actually involved in doing this?I know quite a bit about backend and devops, but I have to admit I have no idea how to do this, if I was tasked to do this.Also would this even be possible without flash or third party video...
