I read it but I have no idea what it meant. I am very interested in getting a Pi4, so can some of you more knowledgeable folks help me understand what this means?
I've definitely burned out before. Working crazy hours for low pay in hopes of showing my worth and earning more. It kept it up for a few years but eventually broke pretty hard.
I have to say though I am pretty thankful for all of that. It allowed me to reevaluate what was important to me and really think about what I wanted to do. I ended up switching industries all together and I finally don't hate life any more.
I grew up in the Appalachians of South Carolina and I've visited all over them. I've seen the one mentioned in the article and always wondered why it was like that
I am not a female, but I am a bootcamp grad with no college degree working as a sw engineer. At almost every place I've worked at so far I've had co-workers go through my GitHub and then make comments about how I shouldn't be working there.
I have no idea why people are doing this to Dr. Bouman, if it's gender related or not. Just stating my experiences.
I'm from the south, lived all over in urban and rural areas. Urban areas were the most racist (seemingly out of fear in most instances) by far. It's not overt either; the passive-aggressive stuff is real. Rural area racists seemed to be just uneducated/full of bad info on the most part, but also more vocal. I've also encountered more racists in the northeast than anywhere else (maybe they think I am too because of my accent?; regularly approached to ask about my level of "southern pride")
I will say that the majority of racists I've actually met have been middle- to upper-class. I've always thought this was kinda weird.
I'm not an expert either, just sharing my experiences.
Just off the top of my head, maybe FB Markeplace and Messenger get split out into their own companies? Maybe their Live feature get's split off into it's own thing too.
That makes me think that Amazon might have to give up Twitch too
As the child of middle-class parents, I was dirt poor for a long time as an adult. That was due to bad life choices, not work ethic or job. I made enough money to live comfortably, but I squandered it. Once I made smarter life choices, my strong work ethic paid off and I finally started doing well in life. Always had the strong work ethic, I just made dumb decisions.
I am a bootcamp graduate, and I was lucky enough to be hired as a junior developer. I did have a lot of companies tell me that flat out that they didn't hire bootcamp grads. I also got interviews with a lot of companies that listed job requirements as "CS Degree with 3.5 GPA". I did bomb some interviews, but overall, everyone I talked to was very encouraging. I applied at a very small company (12 people), and the CEO actually sent me an email telling me to not give up and to keep going. He himself did not have a degree and told me it would be rough, but that I could do it.
The company that finally hired me has been amazing. They understand my limited knowledge base, but that has not deterred them from assigning me tasks I had never done before. Overall, it was a rough time from first day of bootcamp to getting hired, but in the end it's totally been worth it.
I'm a bootcamp grad and I got lucky enough to find work. While I don't have a mentor in the traditional sense, everyone here knows my background and I can go to any of them for help. I may not be the brightest, but I work really hard and they see it, which I think helps when I go to them with questions.
