The only thing missing is Martin Fowler having his own vlog

I read this description, `These writers got their start after age 35—there’s still hope for you`, and I was like man this is amazing.

But, when these people we're mentioned to have published after 35, it kinda tells me that these people have been writing for quite some time

Another list that I would like to see is people, who just started writing extensively after 35 and getting published after 35 : )

I might be interested to make my siblings enroll in this program if you take Canadian citizens?

Also, I know some people in the US who might be interested in this. But, can you give me the stats about how many people enrolled, and succeeded to get a programming job?

My younger brother is in his second year of comp sci. I was wondering if has enough skills to be considered. If not, what do you guys recommend for him to work on?

This is a copy of his CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1shLwzU4egTm-DSt9eBRfhun87_r...

There's also a similar scene in Altered Carbon

Some of them that kinda fits in your category are Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Vitalik Buterin, Satoshi Nakamoto, Larry Page & Sergey Brin, Ma Huateng, Jack Ma, Robin Li, Andreessen Horowitz, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel.

I'd like to thank you for your products too! I use cryptozombies to teach 3 of my siblings to code in the blockchain.

You have numerous options in this situation.

Some could say that a feasible strategy might be to put your startup in hibernation mode. However, by doing that you might lose the customers that you just recently got. Sales is also a long term relationship. What this means is that if you put your startup to sleep, when it wakes up, your relationship from your customers at that point might have to start from the beginning.

Now let's say, you didn't close your startup and you decided to take your friends offer. So that would mean your startup would not go into hibernation mode and you get to maintain your current relationship with existing customers. And you can continue prospecting for customers and do the whole sales cycle thing.

But, how do you get to work a full time job, and not put your startup into hibernation? I think one of the things you can do is to delegate/outsource/hire someone to manage/develop the existing startup for you. Essentially, you don't even have to think about your startup, you just have to pay for it. Although it is true that hiring someone to run your startup is a different issue.

Let me know what you think

I read when I'm in transit or waiting for people

I made a promise to buy a book / e-book per week. So I better make sure I finish it.

When I'm driving or walking from one place to another I'm listening to an audiobook and it is at 3x speed

I think if you're forced to read a lot of book, you'll come up with a system that works for you. Some of the advice people give over the internet might not work at least that was my experience

I've read over 100 books this year, but mostly non-fiction. I'm kinda surprised that my favourite book ended up being a fiction book, which is: 'Ready Player One'

403 Error.

TLDR the author had 2 years experience

1) Google - 140k base, 107.5k RSUs, 50k sign on, 15% bonus

2) Facebook - 160k base, 75k RSUs, 70k sign on, 10% bonus

3) Lyft - 170k base, 180k RSUs, 20k sign on

4) Dropbox - 162k base, 114k RSUs, 10k sign on

5) Airbnb - 152k base, 75k RSUs, 13.5k sign on

6) Palantir - 150k base, 51k stock options, 25k sign on, 25k bonus

I think what's also interesting is that some sites/apps have purposely made their UI/UX flow for account deletion very frustrating for the user. They do this to lower the probability of user completing account deletion

Find a hobby that you want to do more frequently in a week. A hobby that allows you to have lots of people around you that you will see more frequently, but not necessarily forces you to talk to them.

This is the first few part of the friendship formula. Proximity and frequency.

This is the suggestions given to me by people way smarter than me:

Find something that you are passionate about or at least a domain that you find fun or interesting. The horizontal landscape of CS is incredibly vast. The last thing you want to do is to learn something you are not interested in. Let's say you will make lots of money from quadcopters in the future, but would you still do it if you ended up hating yourself?

One thing that is important is the fundamentals and basics of CS. You usually want to have a good base so that learning other things built with the fundamentals becomes easy. IE: You dont want to learn calculus without learning basic arithmetic first.

Figure out what domain you want to be in, for example real estate. Once you find that out, look for the programming languages, math, and technology they are using. This is one way to get a job right away after graduation.

Go talk to other students in other faculties from STEM to Humanities. You'd be surprised how they use technology, which you might have not realized before.

I mostly started reading alot since March 2017 up to now. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting alot but, this is what I've been reading or have read so far:

Game of Thrones Book 1,2,3

Never Split The Difference

Presuasion

Like Switch

Mans Search For Meaning

The Hard Things about Hard Things

It's only these past few days that I've started getting interested in cryptocurrencies. And I've stumbled across tezos and im pretty sure their ICO is going to set a new record too. It's only been less than three days and they're at 103million.

I'm reading some of the books here in the comments. Last two weeks I finished the books:

The Phoenix project

The goal

High output management

These were insanely good. I actually bought some of these to my three siblings.

I'd recommend these books because these books opened my eyes on how management can really help if done right

please explain

No, maturity is an asset

How to win friends and influence people

Man's search for meaning

Architecture of happiness

Eternal Golden Braid

If you want something written in text it's always been the react documentation for me

It depends on the person, but what is the median time in hours, for a person to finish this book?

I'm teaching three of my younger siblings to code.

It was one of the more meaningful things that I've ever done and was nothing short of hard.

Here are the things I've learned teaching my siblings full stack development in a few months.

You have to be patient, programming is complex and takes time. Sometimes you have to re-introduce the basics multiple times and hold their hand along the way as they try to connect the dots.

Offer them free food, support their interest, help them with their school work, reduce their stress levels, and take a keen interest in their hobbies

Build something right away, and introduce theory immediately after the project is finished. When introducing new concept explain it in an ELI5 fashion.

Give them multiple resources. Sometimes one source of knowledge is not good enough and giving them other resources not only helps with repetition, but it gives them other places that will explain the same topic in a different manner.

Ask yourself if these people can work well together

chrome, their developer tools is unmatched

brave, trying it out cause i heard them in a podcast somewhere

Recently I've stumbled upon geekforgeeks youtube channel. It's fairly new.

This might be a channel that I'll end up liking alot in the future

Goal is to mostly be able to learn how to program the quadcopter. Be able to fix the hardware or the quadcopter if anything goes wrong.

Then possibly something one day doing something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl1xYyGom1g

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuXp_mnDH6w

I'm starting to get really intrigued by the idea of programming quadcopters, especially with this demo. I think I could impress the people I am teaching programming with this type of projects.

I'd like to learn how to program a quadcopter and be able to fix the hardware just in case something goes wrong.

However, my main problem is that I don't know where to start. I do not have a hardware background.

Does anyone know some good resource? I'd prefer if it had nothing to do with the scratch language
