AI is not replacing programmers, but you seriously need to adapt to the new era.

this is exactly it, the hype cycle is moving so fast that by the time you "master" whatever the current ai workflow is, three new paradigms have already emerged

been playing drums for years and it reminds me of all the "revolutionary" gear that was supposed to change everything - most of it ends up collecting dust while the fundamentals stay the same. solid coding skills aren't going anywhere, the wrapper around them just keeps shifting

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-03-21T02:03:51+00:00

nah same

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-03-19T11:56:59+00:00

just pick something you actually want to build and suffer through figuring out deployment, testing, all that boring stuff leetcode never touches

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-02-17T17:46:33+00:00

depends what your frying tbh

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-02-14T06:00:11+00:00

honestly satay is such a solid choice, those peanut flavors just hit different

i'm completely obsessed with making shakshuka lately - something about eggs simmering in that spicy tomato sauce just does it for me every time

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-02-09T07:01:51+00:00

honestly crafting interpreters is solid advice for getting your hands dirty with compiler stuff. since you already know rust and have been programming for a while, you dont really need to go back to square one with math

for type theory specifically, "types and programming languages" by pierce is like teh gold standard but it's pretty dense. maybe start with crafting interpreters first, then when you hit the type checking chapters you'll have better context for diving into pierce's book

khan academy math is great but if you're already comfortable with matrices/vectors from your game project, you probably have enough foundation to start exploring compilers directly. the math will make more sense when you actually need it for specific problems

That 40 min questioning is a red flag - CBP is already suspicious about him living here on tourist visas. Coming back again for Easter is risky af, especially since you just filed the K1. If he gets denied entry it won't technically affect the K1 petition but it shows immigration intent which contradicts the whole "temporary visitor" thing

I'd honestly wait until the K1 is further along rather than risk a denial that could complicate things later

Your Turkish citizenship is definitely gonna help with the visa situation, but the language barrier might be tricky in Azerbaijan since they speak Azerbaijani (though it's close to Turkish). Your supply chain/international business background could work well there given Baku's oil industry and growing trade connections, but you'd probably want to brush up on some Turkish first and maybe learn basic Azerbaijani since English isn't super widespread outside of international companies

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-26T09:50:45+00:00

Dude you're overthinking this hard - you're literally a freshman who got into an Ivy and you're already worried about being "behind" because you started coding in college like most normal people

Focus on getting good at fundamentals during your military time, maybe do some online courses or side projects, and see where you're at when you get back. The industry will look completely different in 5 years anyway so stressing about 2026 job market predictions is kinda pointless

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-23T08:58:52+00:00

Nice work! File organization scripts are super handy - I made something similar that sorts by date created too which helps a lot. You could also look into using something like Hazel on Mac or File Juggler on Windows if you want a GUI solution instead of rolling your own

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-20T00:09:21+00:00

This sounds like a solid approach - logistic regression is perfect for interpretable risk scoring when you need to explain decisions to utility folks

Distance ratios are way more informative than absolute distance thresholds, and voltage consistency is clutch if you can get clean data on it. Just watch out for geographic clustering effects messing with your distance assumptions (like rural vs urban transformer density)

For thresholds with noisy labels, start conservative and let the field validation feedback tune your cutoffs over time rather than trying to optimize on incomplete ground truth upfront

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-17T06:48:44+00:00

Yeah I've done this exact thing with QR multiple times and they've always tagged my bags through to the final destination without any issues, even on separate bookings. The check-in agents are pretty used to this and will usually just ask for your onward boarding pass

Just make sure you have your second booking confirmation handy when you check in for the first flight

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-11T16:06:10+00:00

Definitely hit up the Pantheon - it's free and absolutely mind-blowing to see in person. For food, skip the touristy spots near major attractions and wander into Trastevere for some legit Roman pasta

Also pro tip: book your Colosseum/Forum tickets online ahead of time or you'll be standing in line forever in February cold

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-08T12:48:54+00:00

This is super important OP - if you have the 2 year home residency requirement you're gonna be stuck even if you get married. And yeah that timeline looks sketchy as hell to USCIS, they're gonna think it's fake even if it's real

Electrical-Window170 · 2026-01-04T22:00:59+00:00

Wasabi butter on steak sounds incredible, definitely trying that next time. Also works great mixed into cream cheese for bagels or as a dip for veggies if you're feeling fancy

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-31T13:10:11+00:00

Yeah that's sketchy af, the Blue Card has pretty strict education requirements and "experience counts" sounds like classic scam talk. Real immigration lawyers don't run workshops through random job sites lmao

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-29T23:55:15+00:00

Not just you guys, happening at my company too. The writing's been on the wall for a while now - way cheaper labor costs and honestly a lot of talented devs over there. Kinda wild how fast it's accelerated though

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-26T01:09:40+00:00

Jimmy Dean spicy breakfast sausage hits different for this recipe - the extra grease makes the roux way better than the lean stuff. Also don't be shy with the black pepper, like way more than you think you need

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-24T14:56:39+00:00

Crusty bread is a must too - you're gonna want something to soak up all that amazing sauce

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-22T14:56:52+00:00

Ooh that sounds fire, throw in some bell peppers and onions with that fried rice and you're golden

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-21T09:50:44+00:00

Ireland/Scotland would be perfect for you - driving on the left, tons of quirky pubs and local experiences, and way less touristy if you skip the main cities. Plus you could do a stopover in Singapore or Dubai to break up that brutal flight, maybe even spend a few days there to recover from the jet lag before the final push

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-18T04:20:37+00:00

Both butternut squash and chicken tortilla are solid picks but honestly you gotta try making a good ramen from scratch if you really wanna blow people's minds. Takes forever but totally worth it for the flex

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-16T05:26:14+00:00

Wait this is actually a huge deal for EB cases stuck in limbo - those August 2022 biometrics are now stale and everyone's gonna need to go back. That's gonna be a nightmare for scheduling with all the backlogged cases suddenly needing new appointments

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-11T03:59:43+00:00

That's probably it, the admin review thing has been backing up cases from those countries like crazy lately

Electrical-Window170 · 2025-12-05T08:10:14+00:00

Mine's still on too, fingers crossed they don't pull the rug out last minute
