I worked for them ten years ago. I was excited to do something important for once. And it was better than competing with Amazon for book sales. I was really helping.

I eventually left because I didn't think we were being a great steward of donor money. And I didnt have the best relationship with my boss. Nice guy, but we didn't clock.

Back then they spent like half their money on donations and programs trying to get more editors. That included supporting projects in smaller languages and diversity on current projects. Mostly good stuff as far as I could tell.

Where they invested their money for tech was where I disagreed. But even so, I've donated since then. They are supporting important work. Everyone makes mistakes.

Ultimately, I dunno.

I deserve whatever. But my kids don't.

I think folks saying you don't need math are right. But if you are having trouble with college algebra you might have trouble with CS. Or the teacher is bad.

Math really builds on itself at the stage where you are. Without good algebra calculus isn't going to work well.

I'd try a different teacher. Online courses or repeating the course with another professor or something.

If I went as close as I could get to Antarctica without crossing any water, I would be in Chile. If I could cross the Darian Gap.

I've seen some good folks in the past few years. Like That Dang Dad and F.D Signifier. But I'm just on YouTube. I'm sure I miss lots of hate.

It's one of magi!

If the patient wants the pics then go for it! I have some pictures half way through a root canal that are awesome.

While we were developing common sense, she studied the blade.

I'm a doctor

I certainly get lag in my pixels but no disconnects.

I've learned a lot by breaking things. By making mistakes and watching other people make mistakes. I've writing some blog posts that make me look real smart.

But mostly just bang code together until it works. Run tests and perf stuff until it looks good. It's time. I have the time to write it up. And check back on what was really happening.

But I still mostly learn by suffering.

I just have to say "tastes like c" is a visceral way to say it. I approve.
