Indeed:

"I want to start programming, what language should I learn?"

"One of these two most popular languages, where you will not even know about basic errors until you run the code!"

A lot of confusion there, so let me chime in and clarify:

1. The war is not an inconvenience, it's a disaster.

2. You had at least 1 year to move elsewhere.

Developers I have met rarely if ever make tools... Maybe they are more like cache-making rodents?

For developers it's best to focus on top 5 tech companies that everyone else mimics.

Finally, the actual AAMMG, not some weird companies.

Why not abandon the entire thing?

Yes, but pre-hype. Open AI will interview you like they did not interview their buddies who got in early. So I've heard.

Are there any start ups that are like charities founded to achieve something obviously monetizable and backed by multiple billionaires?

I guess if mechanics were not people, private equity would buy them all.

Left-wing populists unfortunately cornered themselves into not being able to discuss illegal immigration like adults.

Realistically, he cannot contact all the thousands of content creators. Also I doubt that UG is paying them in any case. He should include author nicknames though.

Hopefully, bro scraped the content in case UG bans him. There will not be good electric guitar music past 2010s anyway, so no missing out on new content...

Maybe people are still in a denial that all companies want is some LeetCode and funny scripting languages.

Plus, an average-looking dude in the 90s had a chance regardless.

> But many women have commented that they find the "attractive" guy's compliments also unwanted.

Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.

You give it to intern and report to higher ups that there is now "Generative AI" used in your company. Higher ups tell their friends while golfing. Everyone is happy, until their entire industry gets disrupted by actual AI specialists.

Isn't this merely teaching how to be a script/prompt monkey?
