As an engineer diagnosed with ADHD, I have my own ways of managing but I'm curious how others manage conditions affecting cognition and the executive functions of the brain in cognitive intensive fields.
Web Scalability for Startup Engineers was a very good high level one I read as a pre-read to DDEA
I personally think it’s cool you got to see all that in real time OG :)

Hello, I'm curious what the best way to go about a job search considering I've been 'on the sidelines' for the past year for a handful of personal reasons.

Methods and systems for grasping, understanding, and making sense of any general knowledge or information.
Respectfully, why wouldn't I study and strive to emulate the success of Stripe in my own industry? I think X for Y is just a quick and easy to get the point of your business across no?

This is such a shallow argument/opinion. It sounds like something said by someone so painfully unaware and insulated from the life being commented on. So instead, I’d be curious to know what your background and upbringing was like. I don’t think the child being mentioned would consider CPS a good option like you argued for in another comment.
Is there any video work being done in the realm of image processing? I mean a video is just essentially an array/string of images/frames no?
What do you think about a MOOC approach?

Reminded me of the potential in proximity chat online outside the realm of video games where it’s most prevalent today.
If 2021 is like 2020 was personally, I know I won’t make it to 2022.

Assume the individual wishes to build products and the underlying systems atop the web and would strive to be "Fullstack" and dangerous throughout the entire stack.Feel free to share resources, tips, lessons learned, etc.
Does anyone know if the code GPT-3 writes is Web Scale?

Please share the questions. I always find it amusing that tech types seem to believe their idea of “basic X knowledge” translates across the board. I think it’s this attitude of “oh you don’t know what I think you should know” that proliferates the industry that is a major part of the problem. How do you handle folks that don’t have even the most basic form of formal “CS knowledge” but can still ship product? Do you just dismiss them completely over being able to have a water cooler talk about O(...) and some algorithm someone would never have to implement in that specific context? Seems like a premature optimization to me.

Not limited to business models, please share opinions on unique ways of generating revenue, acquiring customers, etc.
Sorry for the late response, getting used to submitting on here, but thank you, and I agree, higher education in the US requires grit to get through especially if you’re not the “school type” yet it’s the baseline most people use to gauge someone’s “potential economic value” an ROI and I frankly just don’t agree with that. Some of the smartest, proactive, and most creative people I’ve ever met have been “structured education” adverse.
Im a huge huge huge believer of there being a massive opportunity in disrupting education, and I mean beyond the “shoehorn tech into everything” approach.
Education in the general term is the literal liberating factor within an individual. The more you understand the world around you the more confident you become in that world.
That’s why I push all my people and anyone who is willing to listen towards tech and other industries that are more “merit based” on the spectrum. As well as gravitating towards well paying trades that can fund their future intellectual endeavors.
I can go on about education forever but I’ll just stop before I get carried away :)
Thank you for the kind words @jbhouse

The law says “make all applications and programs accessible, aesthetic, intuitive, and user friendly” but I think I see alotta engineers out here.
For context: No degree, Very comfortable (salary over 150, savings, family, etc) and in my mid 20s with 5 years of experience.
Here’s how I went from being generationally poor to that:
1) Taught myself the skill. Really put my head down and learned.
2) Demonstrate you know what your doing and have a passion for it (fake it if you don’t and just want to get paid) through projects, contributions, volunteering, having your own site with mentioned projects writing etc. You’re building an image here.
3) Literally get your foot in the door anywhere, doesn’t matter how bad. Mine was at a local web dev shop locally as an “intern” in a tiny office w/ 4 people.
4) Start racking up XP and use that XP as leverage going forward. I mean really sell it. And always talk up your previous experience.
People tend to care more about experience, ability to get shit done, and personality over education in this field.
But yeah that was my experience having been in the same boat.
I’m just here for the support. There is definitely someone here lurking that could definitely help :)
Also, I’ve seen a trend of terrible google support. Is this the norm?
