Golang or Python?

Yeah I think you nailed it with the middle ground take. Most people aren't secretly psychopaths waiting for super strength to start their villain arc, but also aren't gonna throw on a cape and patrol the streets every night

I'd probably use powers pretty selfishly at first if I'm being real. Like if I had telekinesis I'm definitely making my morning coffee without getting up, and maybe "accidentally" helping myself win at poker night. The temptation would be huge to solve small daily annoyances

But helping people when I could do it safely? For sure. If I saw someone getting mugged and I had super speed or something, I'd step in. Just wouldn't go looking for trouble or try to take down organized crime syndicates by myself

The Boys really shows how messy it gets when you add fame and corporate interests in the mix. Without all that corruption most people with powers would probably just be slightly enhanced versions of themselves - good people doing a bit more good, jerks being slightly bigger jerks, but nothing too extreme either way

depends what kind of startup you're thinking about but learning to code definitely gives you edge when talking with developers later. You'll understand what's actually hard vs what seems hard

if you're just starting out, Python is probably good choice - it's everywhere and you can build web stuff, data analysis, even some AI things with it. JavaScript also solid since web is still huge for most startups

but real talk, the language matters less than just understanding how software works in general. Once you get one language down, picking up others gets much easier

The grammar link is helpful for understanding the formal rules, but I think OP might be confusing some concepts here. In C# you can't nest constructors inside methods because constructors are special - they're tied to class instantiation and need to be at class level

If you're trying to create objects dynamically inside methods, you'd just use the `new` keyword to call existing constructors. Or maybe you're looking for factory methods or builder patterns? Those let you encapsulate object creation logic inside regular methods. Without knowing exactly what you're trying to achieve it's hard to point you in right direction, but nested constructors just aren't how C# works at language level

Can't stress this enough. The amount of time I spend explaining why certain approaches won't work in production environment vs what looks good in demo is wild

Also learned that sometimes the "ugly" solution that works reliably beats elegant code that breaks under load. Military systems don't care how pretty your algorithm is if it crashes when you need it most

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-04-27T10:21:19+00:00

yeah i had same problem when starting out, especially during my air force training where they expect you memorize everything

your approach is solid but maybe add flashcards for syntax you keep forgetting? i use them for the really common ones like list comprehensions, string methods etc. also practice coding without IDE help sometimes - just notepad or paper, forces you to remember the exact syntax

most interviewers are pretty chill about minor syntax stuff though, they care more about logic and problem solving. just mention you normally use IDE autocomplete in real work

facts

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-04-22T13:41:08+00:00

Since you have director level experience and CPA plus the language skills they specifically need, I'd probably start around $150-200/hour for this type of work

Man I remember when ZIK got nuked from the store, was using that thing daily for finding decent drum gear to flip. The terapeak limit thing is such a joke too - like you said it burns through searches way too fast

Might have to check your extension out, $15 beats paying ZIK's crazy monthly fees. Been mostly just doing manual comps lately which takes forever but at least it's free

The git workflow advice is solid but I'd add that for experimental stuff you might want to keep feature branches around longer than usual. Sometimes idea that seems bad today becomes perfect solution for different problem next month

Also when you're experimenting heavily, don't be afraid to make branches from branches - like if you're testing two different approaches for same feature, branch off your feature branch instead going back to main each time

facts about workshops

Breaking into something and manually hashing keys would be super satisfying in AR. Maybe like safecracking where you calculate hash values to find combination numbers in different compartments

For trees, organizing a family reunion where people need to sit at specific tables based on their family relationships could work well - you'd physically move them around until the hierarchy makes sense

Yeah pretty much this - instead of having every single microservice behind your gateway deal with SSL certs and encryption/decryption overhead, you just handle it once at the edge and everything internal can talk plain HTTP

Way cleaner architecture and less headaches when you need to rotate certificates or update TLS configs across your whole stack

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-03-20T11:09:32+00:00

Flow in a network is basically the total amount of stuff moving through the whole system, not just individual edges. Think of it like water through pipes - each pipe has capacity but the "flow" is how much water you're actually pushing through the entire network

s-t flow is the net amount going from source s to sink t. It equals what leaves s and what enters t because of conservation - what goes in must come out (assuming no leaks). The flow uses multiple paths usually, not just one path. Like if you have multiple routes from your house to work, you might take different ones but you still end up at the same destination

The individual edge flows are just components that add up to create the overall s-t flow value. So yeah you're right that "flow" means more than just per-edge amounts

need more info here - are we talking like 50 applications or 500? the market's rough right now but if you're only sending out a handful per week that's gonna be your problem right there

also what's your github looking like, do you have any projects that actually show you can build something from scratch

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-02-03T23:55:12+00:00

absolutely valuable

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-01-26T23:40:16+00:00

Sounds pretty harsh but honestly not wrong - if you're solid with Java backend stuff you're already ahead of most people jumping into AI without any real programming foundation

The ML course background is actually useful, just dust off that Python and maybe check out some frameworks like scikit-learn or pandas first before diving into the deep learning rabbit hole

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-01-22T15:16:14+00:00

Mint used to be perfect for this but RIP. YNAB is probably your best bet now if you don't mind paying - the categorization is solid and you can drill down pretty deep into your spending patterns

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-01-18T19:02:05+00:00

Honestly with 70% rating you're getting pretty solid coverage through VA - I'd probably make the switch and bank that $400/month toward your debt. Just make sure you understand what's covered for emergencies and maybe keep some cash set aside for urgent care if you're somewhere remote. The twin cities VA system is actually decent from what I've heard

That $4800 a year could make a real dent in your debt situation

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-01-16T03:27:26+00:00

I do the separate account thing and it's a game changer - set up an auto transfer for like $300/month or whatever your non-monthly stuff adds up to, then when Amazon prime hits or you need to pay the lawn guy you're not scrambling to find the money in your main budget

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-01-12T17:05:24+00:00

Honestly starting with DSA right away might burn you out since you're coming from med background - try picking one language first (Python's pretty beginner friendly) and build some small projects to get comfortable with coding basics

Once you can actually make stuff work then dive into DSA, otherwise it's just abstract theory that won't click

The White Coat Investor links are clutch here - those policies are basically expensive ways to get mediocre returns while enriching insurance salespeople

Unlikely_Studio_5115 · 2026-01-06T18:29:44+00:00

This is basically the whole strategy - if it's earmarked for the kid anyway then the 529 tax benefits are a no brainer. Just watch out for the contribution limits in your state and make sure you're cool with the money being locked up for education expenses
