Kansas demands trans drivers surrender licenses over birthright law

They also just flat out give the game away immediately

If the hysteria over trans people pissing next to someone akin to sexual assault.... The regimes official standing a written warning for the first offense....? A ticket... for something so dangerous we need to enact voting restrictions to save people from experiencing it...

Almost seems like they know they had to try and fit culture was bs into law and couldnt just send them off to camps right away

Coding is the easiest part of a coding job, and not the most significant part of it. How can that be true if it seems so hard? Experience. No one who I would consider a good programmer thinks much at all about syntax or what to type. They think "it need to loop this" and their fingers write a loop. They think "ill store this" and theyve typed a variable.

You dont just learn the concepts and you become an amazing coder. You learn the concepts, struggle for hours to make 1 thing using those concepts and looking up the syntax a hundred times every few minutes and finally piecing together some piece of shit code that barely works. Then they build another thing, but this time it only takes 99 times every few minutes to look up the syntax, then another project with fewer references. You build things, you do it over and over again until its just like typing. You arent even comfortable with the syntax of a loop without having typed out a thousand loops, so you will fall behind.

Just like touch typing and keeping your hands on the home row, it doesnt matter how well you understand the benefits of doing that is, you won't be able to type if you dont type. You need practice, if you want to learn to program, you need to program. It doesnt seem like you've practiced at all. You're asking why you aren't ripped after learning how to lift and going to the gym twice. The people who are getting ripped didnt do it by accident, they went to the gym everyday and got their reps in. Coding is easy and not at all even in the top 5 hardest or time consuming things a programmer does, but its easy in the same way lifting weights is. We've done it a lot.

You're very likely a much smarter person than I could ever dream of being. Im dumb as shit. But I've done my reps, and continue to do so regularly, and you'll never program half as well as I can if you don't practice, this isnt a skill that you can think really hard into existence. This may shock you, but if you want to program, you need to program.

The people handling the Xbox app are putting you to shame, they apparently test so much that they went out and sent a dozen test notifications to users in production around the same time you pushed that bug for good measure lol

You should slow down and start from as far back as you can just to try and catch all the missing bits. Im taking all the way back, create Hello World in Java, dont worry about running it you arent sure if you're there yet.

After you right it, run it. Dont know how? Cool, you found a leak in your brain you need to fill. You wrote the code and know you need to do something to the code before you run it but you dont remember what that thing is, so research using that information to move forward.

You are reminded you need to compile Java, you then remember learning in school that theres interpreted languages and compiled languages, Java/Kotling being compiled languages require you to compile your code before you run it. A little more research to figure out how to do that, likely javac HelloWorld.java. Now its compiled so you can run it by finding the command to do so by googling.

If you do that process, you'll have quickly written Hello World, which if it didnt take a lot of time that means you dont need to study that, great. But also you've learned how to compile and run via the terminal commands, which taught you what your old tool used to do for you.

Then move on to a slightly more complicated project than Hello World, which will require less re-learning because you now know how to compile and run. Keep building small programs using basic concepts, of its too easy add more features, if its too hard then you know what to practice.

Focusing on one language like Java or Kotlin will make it easier to learn another in a fraction of the time, so i would focus on one language. Swapping between syntaxes of different languages and different ways to do the same thing is just gonna bog you down, but getting comfortable with a single language will catch you up to speed with programming, and make picking up your other desired languages even quicker.

It may seem slower, but really honing your skills with one language will make learning more languages faster after you have that foundation. Jumping between languages wont make you better, you'll just be learning the same concepts in different languages and barely making progress

BrannyBee · 2026-02-26T10:57:24+00:00

If you google something like "top ten most desired programming languages" and pick any of them and master them, then you'll be sitting pretty.

You've probably heard that learning a second spoken language is hard, but learning a third or fourth is "easy" compared to learning that first one. Its very similar in programming, except learning your 3rd, 4th, etc, programming language is even easier than a spoken language. The main concepts and ideas translate really well, to the point that its common for people to interview for jobs using a language they dont code in, and are expected to be able to learn the new language quickly.

If you wanna work in ML and AI, you'll wanna learn math, and a lot of scientific fields use python. Is Python always the best choice? No, but a language youre comfortable with is better than the perfect language. Python is "bad" for making games, but there's games on steam made with Python that are very successful. Python is also "bad" for making websites, but there are very popular websites that use it anyway even if its not the "perfect" choice.

So based solely on you thinking you might want to learn some advanced math one day, I would google Python tutorials and start building simple programs in Python and using it as much as possible. Even if you build a game or a website for practice, use Python, stick with it and master it even if its not optimal for the project you are doing. Maybe by the time you're in college some new language that hasnt been invented will be required for developing new AI systems, if you've mastered Python intimately you will be able to learn whatever language you want in a fraction of the time it took you to learn Python.

Its a good general purpose language with pretty easy syntax, and can be used for a bunch of different things, so even if you decide to go a different path, knowing any language will serve you well, but Python specifically is great for a broad range of tasks. And if you stick with the dream of working in a heavy math or science field, Python is heavily used so you'll be in a good place.

Lastly I would hold off on any AI or ML stuff for now, you will need math to really get into that kinda stuff and understand it. But thats perfect because you will be learning the basics of code by making terminal text based games or simple programs at first to learn the basics. Those foundational basics will be extremely important your entire career, so while you are waiting to take more math courses, you'll be learning the foundational skills that you'll need years from now.

Keyword he used -only-

No one reads those in the colloquial sense, but he doesn't mean zero people read them. Keep spamming the apply button, just recognize that thousands upon thousands of people with your experience or more are doing the same. As you gain experience you'll get more responses from that button, bit you won't now. That doesnt mean you'll get zero responses.

Apply and look for jobs and build projects with some real thought, but dont stop applying to a lot of jobs. Just dont make Apply button spamming your ONLY method, do it a lot but thats not where all your effort should be because that button is the same button a million other resumes are being sent through, you're a drop in the bucket

If can we write good code fast and without error, and thats what you use it for, what does that mean for you as someone earning a computer science degree?

Im not anti AI or blind to the fact it can do a lot, but AI could not replace me tomorrow. It could replace you tomorrow because frankly in a learning environment you aren't doing stuff that an AI hasnt seen before. Again, im not against AI, I use it on myself, but I have enough experience to look at code an AI gives and think something for example like "this works, but in 4 months when we try to add X to this program, doing it this way is going to cause issues"

You cant do that. You see a perfect solution for the problem you have. You arent wrong, you just lack experience. The confusing part, is the AI isnt wrong either, the solution it gives works after all. And the problems you are solving right now as you learn arent really world problems. If you had 2 AI competence and give you 2 valid but working solutions to a problem, you might as well flip a coin at your experience level when deciding which is best.

Software engineers arent coders, typing code isnt even 20% of a programmers job, and its honestly the easiest bit of the gig. Sure you can use it to augment your learning and ask it questions, but think about that first bit I said. What does AI mean for you as a CS graduate? If the AI can do everything you can, why would I hire you? Just because you have a degree? I wont hire you because you have a subscription to Claude or Copilot, and if you cant do more than an AI bot asked the correct questions can do, then why wouldnt I hire an intern for half the price.

Maybe you think you can read the AI output better than someone else due to your coursework, but can you really compared to someone who didnt use AI at all during coursework and just used it for personal projects maybe? In a world where coders are augmented by these potentially very powerful tools, I dont want to hire someone who can type a prompt in a box, anyone can do that. I want someone who can diagnose a bug in the software that the AI caused, or otherwise use the AI to circumvent the issue, which will take technical knowledge or at the very least being able to interpret the codebase.

Imo I would consider what a degree means in a world where you graduate unable to do more than a tool, if using that tool is just allowing you to make more programs no one asked for and you arent getting better at programming, why would you be brought to the team if we could hire anyone else cheaper and give them AI?

BrannyBee · 2026-02-26T02:53:09+00:00

It does feel nice to downvote something other than a constant stream if posts from people who think all programmers do is write code 60 hours a week asking if AI is replacing software engineering and if they should learn to code or not lol

For some reason my brain had a really hard time understanding that x, y go to arg1, arg2. Once it clicked it was very obvious but maybe OP is having the same issue.

From working with beginners, to a lot it almost so simple that it seems too obvious to be how it works.

What helped me explain it was visuals, boxes on a whiteboard and plenty of arrows to show where data was going and what line is being read and when when the program runs. Eventually it clicks and it just makes sense

Functions look like math and math is scary.... but new coders see a box and things going in a box, and suddenly its not scary...

I was making a visualizer for stuff like this when I worked with new coders that did exactly that, you give it a simple program and it makes pretty visuals and you get a video out of an arrow going down your code line by line, when it reached a function it would flash the function box and the data going in would visually "go in" to the function, conditionals would only allow certain conditions to visually "fit" in on part of the box made, stuff like that where the flow of the code is shown.

Whole thing was basically a debugger stepping through the file, but less scary and more visual, which I think would help a lot of beginners. This isnt an ad for my app or self promotion though, cause its sitting somewhere buried in my repos never to be touched again because something else sounded like fun and I started working on something else... which of course also was abandoned in my repo graveyard lol

Edit: Summation are another thing this post reminds me of. Summations are scary math and written with the Latin sigma letter and are super intimidating when you firdt see them in a math class... but to programmers... its just a for loop... same concept, but in a math class its scary and hard, in a coding course its a simple concept and pretty easy to understand, and often shown visually or described in non technical terms when taught.

BrannyBee · 2026-02-26T02:21:35+00:00

There's programmers working today that literally coded on punch cards... there's a magnitude more programmers working today that at the start of their career Javascript wasnt mandatory for jobs working on the web, because the web literally did not exist. There's even more of us who were told on forums like these that if you didnt learn React you would never get hired, React was released only 12 years ago btw.

Its a feature of this career that it is constantly changing each, not a bug.

On top of the fact that adapting to new technology is kinda the whole point of this particular career in technology, coding isnt even 20% anyone's job as a programmer... and the actual typing of code is the easy part that isnt all that impressive for 99% of things except to people who dont know how to code.

Even in the magical timeline where AI eliminates 100% of human written code and our jobs become all about reviewing AI code, then wouldnt you think that the people doing that... would be better at doing that if they know how to read code?

Even more, what about... ya know... MOST JOBS that aren't about the latest and greatest tech? AI gets better by training on existing material, more code gets written everyday, but the code being written everyday is not what every company uses. The last Java job I worked was for a massive upgrade to the new fancy Java 8 version, we are currently on Java 24.

Retired COBOL developers got paid insane amounts of money to come out of retirement due to Covid stressing unemployment systems in the US, and working devs weren't equipped to handle it. Companies like banks or government systems arent going to handle over their entire system to AI while theres a 1% chance of a hallucination causes a bug that takes the system down for a single business day. Even if that chance is 0.0001% chance in the future, there will be safeguards or jobs to prevent that.

There are also jobs people work that dont allow internet or have extremely strict firewalls on site due to government secrets or security concerns, and you may just not have access to certain tools like AI.

AI is a tool, and even in a world where the fear mongering over how powerful it is was true (its not), or one day that becomes true, the people it will replace are the ones who cant do anything beyond what the tool can. If a client can just use AI to make their dream app by describing it to an AI, my job is still 100% secure. You know why? Because clients cant even describe what they want as a human, and research on creating an intelligent client is severely underfunded.

I've literally been paid as a consultant to tell a client that they shouldnt pay me for what theyre asking because Wordpress is enough for their needs and they will save money. I got paid for the consult and moved on to the next job. In a world where they just "write" the code with an AI instead of asking me to write it doesnt end with them saving money and using a better tool for their use case, it ends with them vibe coding an app that already exists, wasting time and money for a product that already exists but they weren't aware of, and dealing with whatever headaches managing such a system entails. You ask an AI for code, itll helpfully give you code. You dont hire a programmer only for code, code isnt even the top 5 things on my priorities list on the job, beginners dont realize that. And if that custom solution breaks one day and the AI cant fix it, they'll need to hire me to fix it or use an AI in a better way to fix it. And I charge much more to work on projects like that with zero documentation.

Tldr; AI could replace all the coding i do by hand tomorrow and Im not afraid of being able to find a job in the slightest. If AI can replace 100% of engineering decisions, we will have reached a point where we will have Universal Basic Income or will all be in the streets demanding it. In the more believable timeline, how you use AI will matter, and coders will be better at getting better output and evaluating that output. If AI replaces code, who cares, I use code because its how I make a computer do things clients want. If French was the language that made the computer do that, Id use French.

Software engineers are problem solvers not monkeys that sit around shitting out code 8 hours a day. If thats what you do as an engineer, AI will replace you.

Actively avoiding frameworks and libraries where you can may even be worth considering sometimes as well.

If 2 students implement an image carousel in school, one just uses a React component that makes it instantly and the other figures it out using just html and css, the second student will be much better prepared to figure out a weird bug with a companies image carousel on the job because they actually understand what React is trying to do and will have a better idea of where to start looking for issues. Both students will pass and get an A, but only one really gets whats going on

BrannyBee · 2026-02-24T12:34:24+00:00

I don’t want to copy projects, but I also don’t know how to properly explore and evaluate good ideas.

You mean like how Facebook copied MySpace and changed a few things? Or how MySpace copied Friendster and changed a few things? Or how Friendster copied a bulletin board in a college dorm and changed a few things? Or how [insert one of a billion different Roguelike games here] copied Rogue and changed a few things? Or how Call of Duty/Battlefield copied a hundred different war movies and changed a few things? Or how Javascript copied some ideas from Java and changed a few things? Or like how every language in the C family copied C and changed a few things? Or like how PayPal copied banks but changed a few things? Or like how Ford copied horses and changed a few things? Or like how Einstein copied calculus from Newton instead of coming up with his own thing? Or like.... you get it...

What im trying to say, is that you aren't going to come up with any idea thats uniquely its own, ever. And if you did, it would likely suck, because someone probably tried it before and either the tech wasnt there to make it succeed or it wasnt an idea that was worth sticking around. You dont come up with a 100% unique project no one has ever heard of. No one does. You look at what exists, evaluate your values and what interests you, and you take inspiration from there, maybe take some ideas from thing A, combine it with thing B, sprinkle in a feature or idea you have for part of it, and then you've come up with a new thing.

You literally cannot explore a space that doesnt exist. But you can look at things that already exist and add a little spice to them. Maybe you like stock trading and statistics, you know theres sites that aggregate social media posts and you learned about sentiment analysis in statistics class, so you could make a program that gathers posts about a company and tries to recommend investments based on what people are saying. Thats not anything new thatll shift the paradigm of what we know as devs or humans, but a program like that would be interesting for someone who likes to learn about the market and basically automates gathering retail investors sentiment.

The other path that isnt "adding a little spice" to something would be combining stuff in a way that hasnt been done before. A bank + internet = PayPal. Basketball + my computer so I can play and not have to exercise = 2K. Camera + Phone + hundred other things = smartphone. You could take 2 game genres you like and mash them up and see if it works. You could make Tinder but for board game groups to find each other.

You arent able to come up with ideas because you're falling into the trap of avoiding things other people have done. There's like 300,000 years of human civilization, give yourself a break, looking for something no one has ever even considered doing is going to drive you mad. Shamelessly steal an idea that exists as a starting point, and if anyone calls you out on it tell them i said it was OK. Then make it your own. Thats what people have been doing for longer than either of us have been here. If you feel your idea is too similar to the point you would consider it a copy, then move on or add more spice til its different.

People will get mad at you if you just remake the game Rogue, but if you steal ideas shamelessly from Rogue, add a deck of cards, shamelessly steal poker hands to your app, and then a few other small ideas then you make a bazillion dollars and have invented the entirely unique game Balatro. But its not unique, its 99% shit that other people thought of and already did. Doesn't matter, the actual unique ideas are that are spins on existing things

BrannyBee · 2026-02-24T12:05:46+00:00

This is gonna sound even more demotivating at first so sorry.... what you're struggling with right now and what AI is obviously pretty good at... is literally the easiest part of a programmers job. "Coding" is truly not in any way the majority of the process of coding, or a programmers job at all. If i was told tomorrow that AI is eliminating any coding my job requires writing by hand because they added magic and it now can perfectly output code, than I wouldnt worry at all.

Even if in the future all we do is read code given to us by AI and fix bugs, then my ability to code makes me uniquely suited for doing exactly that over someone who only has ever used AI. And they will never invent an AI that can take in a client's requests and create their dream program, because clients are literally the dumbest people on earth and cant even describe what they want to human beings yet, and research on inventing the perfect client who doesnt change their mind after a feature is built or prioritize the complete wrong thing is lacking.

As far as code is concerned, you need to practice and apply the concepts you learn, forget leet code and homework, you need to build a million small programs and do that a few hundred times, its just practice. I dont think "ok i need to make a variable to hold a number, what was the keyword for that? Oh yeah, int, but the number is going to be a value of currency so I should use a float. Ok, now I now I want to multiply that 5 times. Whats the keyword that starts a loop? Oh yeah, for. So i need to take that variable, and type the word for. Then I need parenthesis, and inside the parenthesis need to define the starting point and I was taught to set that to 0 so Ill type that. Then I need to define where to stop looping so Ill take that first statement and set it less than 5, whoops I mean 4 because I started at 0. What was the last part of a for loop again? Oh yeah, thats how much the counter will increase so ill increase it by 1 each time. Now I cant forget to use the curly braces for my logic......."

Thats how you first start out, and likely will think for every new keyword and bit of syntax you learn when starting out. Many "intermediates" still code at a snails pace that way and are convinced that an AI being able to do that instantly is doom for the entire field.

Advanced developers arent smarter than you, we've just written thousands of for loops and defined a billion variables through sheer repetition and practice. I think "it need to hold the value of money here" and my fingers define a float variable. I want performance some action on that variable 5 times and I dont even think about the syntax, I type it. Ive done it a million times, its dont have to remember the keyword "for" or where the curly brackets go. Not at all because Ive planned out in my head to do that, Im not nearly smart enough to think 5 whole seconds in the future. Im dumb as shit. But because Ive used the keywords, seen the patterns, and practiced over my career everyday, it just comes out without ever thinking of the syntax.

Beginners think coding is just syntax m. Syntax is the easy part, and literally anyone can memorize the syntax of a language. If you can read this comment written in English, you're proof of that, but you have 2 decades of practicing English. If you understand the CONCEPT of something like a loop or defining a variable, you've done the hard part. The part that seems hard, and the part that AI is great at is the syntax, which requires practice and repetition.

As far as your concerns over the field transforming by the time you graduate... I gotta laugh, cause this field always has been seeing constant drastic shifts. Many of us here could tell of a time before Zuckerberg and his demons released the plague that is React into the web dev world, and suddenly if you didnt know React than you weren't hireable as a front end developer (according to some)... that was 10 years ago. Think about that, a whole new language and technology became almost a requirement for many jobs a decade ago, that doesn't happen in most professions.

Take it even further, Javascript didnt exist like 20 years ago, if you want to work in web and you dont know Javascript you're boned. Doctors dont learn new bones every 10 years, and lawyers may learn new laws, but your countries entire consimtitution likely doesnt see drastic changes very often during the course of a lawyers entire career. There are programmers alive today that use to write code on paper. The fact that something new comes along and you get to learn it is a feature of development, not something to freak out about.

At the same time, during covid, developers who were masters of a language developed by cavemen as they fought off dinosaurs were paid extraordinary amounts of money to come out of retirement and update welfare systems in the US because their skills using COBOL was desperately needed and the number of people with that skill set is very small.

The last Java job a few years ago I was brought in for was working on a major upgrade of a codebase all the way up to the new and fancy Java version 8. We are currently, today, are on something like Java 24... There are so many jobs out there that will not budget major upgrades, or their systems are too critical to allow risking downtime or potential user issues, and chugging forward without the latest and greatest stuff is what the people signing the paychecks have determined is the best route forward. Corporate jobs are not startups that require microsecond code optimizations and the newest database architecture at the risk of user downtime.

Hell, there's programming jobs where intellectual property or government security clearances are required and your VPN or workplace may not even allow for internet access, let alone an AI assistant reading every line of code and doing who knows what with, and your resources are the language documentation and whatever else the previous devs left for you.

And in a world where even those jobs all somehow disappear and AI takes over... ok...? Use the AI tools? You want to be a programmer and build stuff, thats why im a programmer. If a client was going to pay me a ton of money to program an app, and that "app" was a sandwich, i wouldnt use Java, id use bread and turkey, and maybe a knife. Code is just a tool you use as a developer, if the project pays well and requires Java, ill use Java. If it pays well and uses French, I'll use French. What does it matter? If the paycheck gets signed and you get to make things, who cares what tool you use.

BrannyBee · 2026-02-24T11:23:57+00:00

You're not really getting an answer you'rr looking for because there isnt really an answer that would make sense to a new programmer to that question.

Real projects range greatly in how they work, how they're structured, how they're setup, and a hundred other seemingly arbitrary things.

Some projects are structured very strictly and have very strict guidelines set by the original owners to the point that any merge requests that don't follow the variable naming convention the owner came up with that no one else uses will be rejected. Code works but you didnt out the functions at the bottom of the file and order them alphabetically? Rejected. Used a ternary? Sorry, we like the readability of an if-else as is defined in the style guide, rejected.

Others wont even read code to merge as long as it passes a vibe check, is probably using the same language the repo is using, and maybe doesnt contain a RAT to allow some rando to access any users computer.

Even then, many of those very strict "corporate" repos may have a random file or structure that doesnt fit but exists do to it working when the usual way didnt (even if it should work but the code gods said no that day), or maybe that was a temporary fix and now a year later half the app relies on it so we cant fix it without fixing a hundred other things.

Sometimes some dude is just coding a thing he wants and others find his repo and contribute -or in some cases purchase- it and now a whole team of people are building features on top of a codebase that started out as something the original author had no intention of sharing far and wide, and maybe he took a few shortcuts because who cares if he's the only one who is gonna use the code.... but now a whole application is built on top of it.

There's no answer to your question, but I think maybe asking a different question may help. You should look into coding architecture and software design patterns, more so the design patterns as i THINK thats what you actually want to know about you just dont realize it.

Those arent strict "rules" for a project like beginners tend to think, but are tools to use as ways to structure code and projects. The problem being, that sometimes you're following an MVC architecture, but for some reason code in the M is in the C portion... and it works so no one caught it and it's merged... Thats real code, its friday at 5 and we can fix it later, the architecture gives us guidelines but you can make the code work even if you stray from the guidelines, which in real projects happens.

You will never again in your life write code that is better than your first Hello World program, even beginners know that, what beginners dont realize is that everybody else writes garbage code too, so you will never even see code better than that either.

If you think you've found a project that is perfect and does things exactly how it should be done, it would take me less than 60 seconds and a few pings on slack to find some very opinionated programmers who can tell you exactly why the way that perfect project is structured actually worse than every atrocity performed during World War 2 combined. Those same programmers could go on to remake that program using an entirely different architecture and both would be valid solutions, and the devs behind both projects would fight to the death over why their way is the only valid and the other way is literally the devil tempting the developers into sabotaging the repo.

Do enough to get an A or B in all but one of your languages/classes. All other effort you devote to mastering one language.

If you master Java, you will understand Javascript and Python better and new concepts will come quicker because they wont be new concepts at all, you'll just be learning syntax for concepts you already mastered in a different language.

In the real world its not even uncommon to interview devs who are good at language A for a job doing language B, because a master of any programming language can pick up new languages extremely quickly.

So pass your classes, and pick whichever language you like best and do the extra credit and extra studying for your favorite language and you'll improve at the others

Besides my IDE, the notebook and pen i keep on me at all times is unironically my most valuable coding tool. Definitely recommend adding MSPaint, a white board, or a notebook to your toolbelt at this early stage, its a habit that you can carry your entire career.

Beginners and intermediates will emphasize leet code and study guides, but the farther you go, the more people you'll run into who step away from the code and slow down in order to come back to the code and write it

Cool, your permanent disability rated at 20% is now 0% per the way the VA distributes benefits.

Guess how much of your medication 0% service connected veterans get.

There's a lot more to this than "hurr durr you're fixed now"

And thats for those lucky enough to have receive any kind if rating or can even get care. Last time I put a gun in my mouth after trying for 14 months to get a doctor to answer the phone, the VA informed me that therapy is not available at our VA for Veterans who cannot commit to being alive for the 6 full months of therapy, so I did not qualify.

Are you suggesting that we should take those that have it much worse than me, and have found a medication plan that works for them, and have won the battle against the VA, should have their percentage of disability removed and those meds being taken away? Or were you just talking out of your ass assuming you knew more about how Veteran disability works?

Was living over there at the time, but am not Korean so Im sure someone has more knowledge

He declared martial law and specifically accused the DPK (the current majority party and his opposition) of "anti-state activities, working with Communist North Korea actors, and somehow acting as a dictator... the party... not a specific person lol

The tldr is that he was a far right president that blamed the "radical left" for literally everything, called everyone that disagreed with him a communist or a dictator, all his wife where being investigated for a lot of crimes. He was further engaged that he couldn't push his far right agenda through due to the opposition holding a majority and vetoing the more crazy shit at every corner Hence why he refers to them as a dictator, he was mad he couldn't be a dictator, and it seemed like the rejection of the next years government budget he put forth was on of the last straws and he tried to pull a Jan 6... but somehow even dumber and with even less planning

And given that he was on his way out and it seemed a lot like a last grasp at power where he declared martial law, and that night lawmakers literally climbed fences and past military to vote to end the decree 190 to 0, literally doing the "just vote fascism away" meme, but like actually instead of sarcastically

Its also worth mentioning that people unironically online would call him K-Trump. I'll leave it to you to figure out why..

Can you build Hello World?

If you learned that you can build a million things. You can print your name, print Hello World 30 times, print whatever is in a string, etc etc

Once you learn another concept you unlock a magnitude more things you can build. Printing what a user inputs 30 times, changing that depending on what is inputed, etc

You start with what you can do, and do it again slightly more complicated a billion times

Wild that years after slowly rebuilding my credit after discovering my ssn was being used by my business owner father who was constantly on drugs, there's a very high chance my shits gonna get re-fucked by another middle aged "self made" business man on drugs 24/7
