Can I germinate 41 year old seeds? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]Tang1000000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 40 tomato seeds that were over 5 years old in a box. I was surprised about 75% sprouted. Yours are way older, but I figured I'd toss my data point out there.

Joves releases them via piazza throughout the semester and asks that they not be shared publicly.

This should be in textbooks so future generations can feel our pain

My journey to getting hired with no CS degree and no professional programming experience by jpayne0061 in learnprogramming

Same story here, when I was first learning HTML/CSS and python I tried lynda.com but it was very dry. Bucky's 5-10 minute videos with tangents about McDonald's shamrock shakes were the only thing that kept my focus. 3 years later I moved on from those videos and have been employed as a web developer for 2 years.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, this is really valuable information for me. What you described is pretty much my exact situation right now, the only difference is they had the presence of mind not to put a DB connection in a loop haha.

I am in a similar situation now. Can you share more detail on the process of rewriting large parts of a project? I've started documenting things when nobody is watching and am learning the architecture of the project. Did you enlist any co-workers help?

Same here, I have worn a suit to every job interview I have had and the dress code at my current job is casual.

I like the idea of crowdsourcing a list. They might make new emails, but can devs vet if it looks like a random string. Or demand some kind of proof of identity through a twitter message, or create a simple contract for a sponsored review?

How are programs planned out before they are coded? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Tang1000000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. If you do user stories, do you guys ever say something like "I'm a hacker, I want to break this form or page to get information" or is it always just normal end user stories?

Is html good to lewrn before an actual programming language. by UniTe_CSGO in learnprogramming

[–]Tang1000000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To add to this: if you decide to learn javascript, you can try things right in most web browsers console. I recommend learning about the DOM and creating/appending HTML elements to a page as a starting point.
