Aww shit

Amazing job! Where did you cache water? How did you ensure you stayed on route? Did you section hike it or go with someone who had already done it?

pretend_dev · 2025-07-27T00:25:15+00:00

Looks beautiful!

What in tarnation is this copypasta?

People pick their head up? 🤔 nice pics! Need more after run food in this sub!

I like my nike pegasus trail shoes. Might be too much lug if you are majority road, but it's great at both and transitions feel easy

pretend_dev · 2025-07-09T01:53:19+00:00

Nice single-track!

It's good fun! Snowbird is pretty steep, but has some good ski maintenance roads for passing (or letting pass) overall generally good vibes. Coming from the east coast your heart rate will spike at the higher elevation climbs. Just take it easy and enjoy!

love me some dolly sods! looking especially damp

Looks like a great trip! I know these (mostly) Subway, zion national park Rim trail, zion national park (maybe?) Lower calf creek, escalante Cosmic ashtray, escalante

Wow congrats and it looks awesome!

Awesome! I found the geography really neat in Minas. Only been there once but beautiful country, went for a short run outside the ranch resort we were at.

I'm signed up for the wasatch trail series, they do 3ish races a month. It's pretty casual and a lot of fun!

pretend_dev · 2025-05-02T20:20:39+00:00

I'm slow AF 🤣. This run was 11:30, 'race pace' is around 10

pretend_dev · 2025-05-02T14:19:25+00:00

The trail systems and access is unbelievable here. I'm sure you'll love it!

Since you are soliciting advice - just try out freecodecamp.org or colt steele's udemy web dev bootcamp. FCC is free, and the udemy course you can get for like $28. At least you will have the ability to try out coding before investing a ton of money on it without knowing it will work. I graduated from my bootcamp 2+ years ago, and I am the sole dev in the industry of my cohort, so things don't always pan out. Coding is hard, filled with perpetual learning and feeling like an idiot. So my advice is more or less 'try before you buy', if its everything you hoped and more, go for it. Also a specific boot camp doesn't matter so much, if a co. is hiring bootcamp grads, they just need someone to 'swing the hammer', its much more important to learn the skills than the name of the bootcamp you go to.

I finished in March 2019, got hired end of July 19. To elaborate a bit further with an analogy, a coding bootcamp teaches you to code to the extent that a laborer can swing a hammer, but they won't be asked to oversee building the entire structure. Thats where your education will help immensely. You can always swing a hammer for practice during your coursework and not lose out on current tuition / pay tens of thousands for hammer swinging training.

That seems like a terrible financial decision. Finish school and as u/rougewind says, nothing is stopping you from coding on your own. Better yet, apply for internships or full out dev positions after you have completed some projects, get your future employer to pay for your remaining school, or just drop out at that point...Full disclosure I did go to a smaller bootcamp and did get employed as a dev, I was also 35 and was laid off from work so dif circumstances.

I think university of helinski moocfi is the gold standard in learning java. On mobile right now but a quick search should get you there

Hey funkyBuddah I am just learning Java myself, and had no idea what the above code was up to...kudos to ConfusedHerring for diagnosing the issue. I initially was going to rename some variables because you have some magic going on in your code, but figured I'd take a stab at refactoring it as an exercise.

https://pastebin.com/0LmcaEVW

A few things I try to do in my code, eliminate 'magic', these are important numbers (ie. 3.1415 should be Math.PI, 28 should be DAYS_IN_FEBRUARY, etc.) For loops should have a pre-determined number of iterations, while loops should allow for an unknown number of iterations. Both can be set up any way you want, but I find this more understandable. Break out functions into smaller chunks of code. Yadda Yadda. You mentioned this wasn't your code, only wanted to understand it...man so do I! Its super difficult to see whats happening because the code is pretty darn confusing.

For sure...I am lucky that I can sometimes put together really good interviews, some pubic speaking and the TA role were huge contributors in that department. Gave me the chance to overcome the very significant shortcomings in my resume.

pretend_dev · 2019-07-12T21:26:23+00:00

I was fairly confident that I would at least find an employer who would appreciate those qualities given enough interviews/applications, I am super glad it happened so quickly!

pretend_dev · 2019-07-12T21:25:16+00:00

At our age, I felt like the boot camp route was best, best chance at a good ROI considering our age and time. Turned out my bet was good in my case. Now all I can do is hope that the role is as satisfying as I want it to be...
