The people doing software engineering without such a degree in the US are definitely in the minority, so there's not much point to the hand-wringing generally speaking.

Stephen King was on a lot of cocaine when writing his most famous books. A lot of them have weird stuff or stuff that isn't all that coherent.
But yeah I mean reading literature in another language really is a whole different experience than just conversing in that language. Many authors bend or break conventional rules for literary effect, and many languages even have dedicated language constructs and idioms for literary writing. I'd even go so far to say that being able to effectively read literature in a language is a step beyond fluency and reflects a deep understanding of the language.
Uh, certs are a huge deal in cyber security. Absolutely useless in most fields, but cybersecurity is not one of them.
Not sure why you're out here defending hugely unpopular behavior.
People arguing for it just care about eliminating the change. The direction doesn't really matter. The total amount of daylight remains the same.
Yeah, European salaries across the board are generally lower than the US by quite a bit, but we also typically pay for a lot more services than Europeans do as generally a lot more is privatized (healthcare, etc.). $100k is typically what most middle class Americans are striving for in order to have a relatively "comfortable" life, buy a house, etc. (though honestly, the housing market today is so fucking insane that even that isn't really enough to buy a house in many places now). The median household income in 2023 was $80,610, for reference.
Yeah, it's pretty fucking insane the things people are taking on debt for. I genuinely can't understand it. I mean, I know we live in a society that's pretty fucked from capitalism and inequality and stuff isn't easy, but it is common sense to avoid debt as much as possible. Do they just think the money is free?
Living on $50k/year is not easy. The federal poverty line for a family of 4 is $31,200, and many consider those numbers to be much too low.
There's absolutely no need to target normal American households with more taxes. Billionaires already don't pay their (too low) taxes and have far, far more than they need that they've taken from the labor of others. Actually taxing them appropriately would cover everything we could possibly need and then some.
We should be raising substantially the minimum income needed before you have to pay taxes. It's fucking stupid to be levying a bunch of tax on people who are struggling to make ends meet.
JFC I will definitely stay the fuck away from whatever garbage this is.
Yeah, standard practice is to set up source control before doing any work at all. Then you add whatever project template/scaffolding files to an initial commit and make it, and keep committing from there.
You should always be committing early and often. Saves you a lot of headache and make it a lot easier to clean up your history later too.
Monorepos are a thing. But obviously this is something entirely different.

Yeah also a millennial and it's just... not that funny? I get that plenty of shows haven't aged perfectly, so it's not that. Friends has plenty of moments that haven't aged well (lots of gay jokes about Chandler come to mind), but the comedy still holds up really well. Seinfeld... Not so much.
