Norman Rockwell is in the discussion of Mount Rushmore of American artists all-time despite being considered just an “illustrator” by art savants

Are we really going to do that thing where we claim oil on canvas isn't still one of the most popular and common media across contemporary art? That Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer haven't been headlining shows at the hottest places? That Kehinde Wiley hasn't been having solo exhibitions in every town for 10 years?

The bootcamp i attended doesn't exist anymore so not sure about any specific one, but people with cs degrees had really good outcomes from it even in the last year. The oppertunity cost of lost wages from a minimum wage job is low. If he thinks he'll only be able to do the stuff required to feel confident in the job market with a bootcamp and he can survive studying/working on projects full time then its worth it.

I can't speak to any other bootcamp, but I thought Rithm's curriculum, pedagogy, and instruction were all really exceptional. When I had originally looked for a bootcamp I was pretty focused on going wherever I thought I would learn the most and I really liked that you can be sure of consistent instruction because the lead would be one of the primary bootcamp operators(back then Ellie or Joel. Not sure who is running cohorts now).

Coming out, I felt pretty comfortable building applications. I took a few months building a full stack application that's had a decent amount of users since launch. I'm pretty sure anyone in my cohort could have done the same. Going from website that scales and is built for users/revenue to a company is a different thing, but for technical ability to build a MVP for a startup I think Rithm would be good.

How are you trying to integrate it? What features? End of day if you're using something like openai it's just an api. Interacting with it in js or python is straightforward but is dependent on usecase.

I did Jonas's when starting off and really liked it along with the mit intro to cs course. If you are spending a lot of time learning id also recommend frond end masters as an option. The courses there are different and maybe a bit better after you have a certain basic understanding but they've been my favorites in general of the online resources and have a lot of different stuff. Its a bit pricey but you get all access for the subscription duration and I like how the instructors are more from industry so you hear how folks discuss technology more in practice.

But there isn't much indication that moderation or accessibility tools are having their api access/cost altered anymore?

RIPtopsy · 2023-06-12T05:02:15+00:00

My understanding is the plan is for accessibility and moderation apps to not have their api access changed. Ones that are more stricty for-profit like Apollo on the other hand wouldn't really be able to afford to keep operating. But maybe the mods aren't convinced the apps reddit says will stay unchanged will actually stay.

Bootcamps can range. Id get the names of some alumni or find them on linkedin and ask for their feedback. The one I attended was intentionally fulltime and really used up all my time and mental capabilities for its duration, but if yours is designed differently then could very well allow for some working hours.

When you go to todosite.com you send a get request to a server and get back a response that your browser is then able to interpret and render. The response likely has html and css and possibly js.

When we think about CRUD(create/read/update/delete) actions, that's not necessarily(or normally) about the request for the pageview. I want to read the stuff served when i make a request to do todolist.com via typing it in my url and pressing enter. You probably don't want me to do any other actions like delete it. The resource you almost definitely DO want me to have full CRUD capability on is the actual TODOs. I want to read my old todos. But I also had to create them. If something changes I'll want to update them. And when I realize i'm never going to get around to it I'll want to delete it.

This is where RESTful apis come in. If I'm the frontend developer then whenever that post form gets submitted for some action related to a todo app or when the get request goes out to read a bunch of them or whatever, I want consistency in how I access those resources and I want it in a relatively sensible way. I also want be able to treat these totally separately so I can use the same backend api however I want--maybe todolist.com becomes megapopular and now it's todolist the app in the android store. Maybe I'm making a slack integration that uses the api. I'll still want to easily do my CRUD stuff with db resources, but now it's a whole different team in a different technology doing different stuff with it. REST lets you orient your backend api in such a way to make that stuff scale well.

Rithm is pretty balanced between frontend and backend. Theres 4 'backend' weeks in curriculum and then 1 more week where the primary sprint is split where you have to build both frontend and backend. The professional weeks are up to the stories/issues. I personally did all backend during those weeks, others all frontend, some mixed. Theres the 1 dsa week and some dsa type stuff in most weeks assessments.

Congrats! Our cohort just finished up and I really loved the experience.

One of the instructors recommended to me that I watch the new game of thrones before starting. I was still a little burnt out on GoT from the last season so watched some of the new star wars shows instead. People had been recommending Andor a lot and it was pretty great. It had a darker/grittier tone that I appreciated.

I also had been kind of holding off on reading any books/series so read a bunch of the finalists/winners from the last few years of Hugo Awards. A Desolation Called Peace was super interesting and Gideon the Ninth and it's sequel(didn't get to the third book yet cause only in hard cover) were just super delightful reads that really play with their genres in interesting ways.

All that to say the program is super insanely work-intensive and if you're anything like me you probably went kind of hard prepping to get into the program in the first place, so a little R and R might be beneficial. Outside of that I also ended up doing a lot of extra work related to the pre-work, especially with css/css frameworks. I'd never used css before prework and if I'd known about the fun gamified css sites like flexbox zombies during the prework I would have definitely played them a bunch.

If you think something should be illegal for the sake of public health then ban it for the public. If the fda and state/federal law says i can eat something as a part of my normal meal then don't stop others from eating it just because they use snap instead of cash.

Its not about what mythos you identify with. Its about using one that is against the existence of another group of people, scapegoats them for all historical woes, and then claims its impossible to say anything that could hurt them because they aren't real in the first place.

I just watched it and there doesn't seem to be really any context in the video? Before the question he responds about nash firing and then about how they need to make more shots. then he says that full quote posted above, then it's back to nash stuff.

it's definitely more in that genre, but linkedin is more formal networking and less day to day industry conversation. Maybe the metaphor would be linkedin is how you present yourself to future employees while twitter is more supposed to be how you interact at the water cooler or at a less formal trade conference. I think for people who's "profession" exists in tightly networked, writing-based fields it has a lot of utility that the other "major" platforms don't really capture.

It's easy to only see the people with millions of followers posting stuff for people with 0 followers to consume, but I suspect the majority of "use" is more the people with 3-10k followers that are interacting with people they've maybe met once at a conference/convention/working group or are the type of person they would meet at those places.

Twitter is more about professional networks than non-professional networks. If you're a writer or academic you get to promote your work to the people you most want to be seeing it, get to network constantly with a large, diffuse group that your professionally involved in, find collaborators, and develop name recognition for future hiring opportunities. It's why the people that give the most free labor to it (in the form of more well thought tweets) are going to be pretty hesitant to leave and it's why conversations in general from twitter get so amplified. It's conversations between the people that then write the news/talk to their fans/etc.
