You basically just described kanban.

As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

It’s worth noting that some coursera courses are created and maintained by actually accredited institutions, and some courses qualify as college credit with ACE accreditation. Also, many tech certifications host their courses on coursera too, like microsoft has official azure cert courses on there.

That doesn’t necessarily mean anything for any given random cert, though, because that means that the entire site is a pretty big grab bag in terms of the usefulness of their certs.

However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don’t know what’s reasonable.

I don’t know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I’d just be bashing my head against the wall. I don’t know if they’re laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.

List out some ideas you’re thinking of. While it may not be obvious to you, someone who is seasoned (me or someone else) might notice at least a general theme or idea to point you in the right direction for where you should go and what you should learn, regardless of if the projects are reasonable.

Note - Most projects take teams to realize, so if your ideas are too large, they might not generally be feasible alone.

What are you looking to actually do with your programming skills? That will heavily influence which languages to recommend you learn. Do you want to make websites? build games? do AI stuff? Create enterprise-level software? something else?

Earthbound is eternally on my list of games i play through every couple of years. Its such a great game. Some aspects of it are a tad clunky by modern sensibilities (inventory management, going through the menus for a lot of things, etc.), but overall it holds up really well. Also if you liked earthbound, mother 3 is also 100% worth playing. Mother 1 (or beginnings, or whatever you wanna call it), is hard to recommend to anyone but the most diehard fans, though.

I like earthbound the most of all of em, but thats purely for nostalgia reasons. From a critical perspective, i think mother 3 is the superior game.

MinuteFood on youtube did a video just yesterday talking about the science of cast iron, and why they’re not dirty like many people seem to think.

Most places in the US have peak and off peak hours with different pricing already. Certain smart thermostats can take advantage of this for running your AC and such.

And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”

I now want to hear the English localization dub of the Japanese dub just to see how different it would be from the original. Think we can convince Crunchyroll to (re)dub it?

Also, I assume it’s because the xml file in maven is typically called a “pom” file, so expanding that to pomni for some reason? It still doesn’t make a ton of sense

You’d hear the roar of the baseball cards in their tire spokes long before you see the bicycle horde coming over the sand dune.

$200k divided by $5 is 40,000 sales. You aren’t likely to have 500k installs from 40,000 sales…

Second (or i guess, like, 4th?) jets. I almost always try to order a pizza from there when i’m in town.

oh, really? maybe i’ll turn mine off then…Thanks for the heads up!

Definitely opens up a big question about the security of Lemmy instances that I am sure will be discussed over the next few days.

They added 2FA login to lemmy in one of the newer updates. Probably pretty pertinent for any admins to use it…
