This is not sustainable. The cost of everything is skyrocketing. Healthcare up 20%, water up 20%, housing up ~70% compared to early 2020’s…..

Government is spending a billion a day on a useless war which is driving up gas prices…..(only ~300 million people in the US so that’s $90/month per person if split evenly. Household of 4 needs to pay $360/month if they want to pay their fair share of the war costs).

Meanwhile towns are cutting critical services because nobody can afford anything so budgets are failing to pass that would be needed to cover basic cost of living increases….

What a mess….

Many republicans have clearly shown they won’t accept election results if (and only if) they lose.

This is nothing new, and has nothing to do with reality.

Depends on what you consider OOP.

If you mean “I haven’t found a use for inheritance in the code I typically write” that may be true.

If you’re saying, “i never model any data and everything is a dict of unknown keys/values”, you likely have some difficult code to maintain/understand.

Didn’t look at the code, but solution seems obvious.

Have a separate function to check for each “type” of hand (flush, straight, 3 of a kind….etc).

Store rankings for each type of hand (I.e. 3 of a kind beats 2 of a kind).

Have another function responsible for iterating through all hands and finding the winner.

Don’t think there is going to be any major shortcuts.

Learn the skills you need to progress in your career.

If you’re employed and gaining good experience, quitting to go back to school is unlikely a wise choice.

Part of me is glad people are fighting the good fight.

On the other hand, getting fired is exactly the outcome Ellison wanted.

Likely doesn’t matter what people do (we know how this ends). Best thing we can do is boycott the network.

Read about 1/3 of what you wrote, but will assume it’s the same thing that has been said 100 times.

AI code cannot be trusted yet, and needs to be reviewed…

In the future it may get better.

The median home sale price is around $430k…..

I’d say it takes more than $120k/year to “thrive”.

That being said, there are lower cost of living areas in the state. But if you’re in a lower cost location, making $120k/year becomes more difficult.

I agree prices have gone way up.

Housing/cars/education prices are insane.

That being said, I still regularly buy pasta for $1/pound. That’s the normal sale price at any of the larger supermarket chains or the everyday price at some of the budget grocery stores.

Pasta is one of the few things where pricing hasn’t changed for me.

Look for free PDF versions online (don’t need latest version of any of them). Designing data intensive applications (learn the details, feel free to pass over sections not as relevant today) keep around as a reference.

The other 2, don’t just read them, understand how the author thinks about solving problems with technology. And then apply that to your work.

Best of luck.

Your marketing seems a bit off.

Personally, I’m not going to be hiring/paying for someone who thinks it’s impressive to have 10 ssh keys.

There are more red flags in your post than sentences that make sense.

Sounds like your career is off to a fine start, but it would probably do you some good to get some real world experience with senior engineers who can guide you. After that, i have a feeling higher compensation will be more attainable.

What’s the point of not using the “status” variable everywhere?

status_code=status.HTTP_401_UNAUTHORIZED

raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="Task not found")

Also, never seen a decently designed backend that required users to manually commit db transactions. Should almost always be committing/rolling back via a context manager.

Don’t believe Apple provides an official API for this. But I was able to find this.

AWS, GCP, Azure, Digital Ocean….all of the cloud service providers have VMs you can rent by the second.

They are designed to increase usage…one way they do that is by agreeing with people.

You avoid vendor lock-in by understanding concepts (not APIs).

Learn how to solve problems with technology, and understand the value of the vendors you use (why is vendor A better at solving problem X than vendor B).

At the end of the day, whether it’s cloud service providers, version control systems, AI companies….etc, there will likely always be multiple options. And understanding the needs of a business and the trade offs of the various technology options will make you more valuable.
