I find it extremely annoying when you are trying to learn to #code and all the tools your course points you to are full of AI that want to do the coding for you. Like seriously, if I wanted an AI to code, I'd go ask Claude to write my code, not be paying for a course to learn to write #humancode
It is very irritating.
I want to learn to do something myself, not just cheat by using AI!!!
More lessons from #Udemy — learning to write #Rust. You can see from running: cargo run, in the terminal that my code works, but it still has two mistakes. I’m getting there slowly, but I am getting there.
This is very early lessons though, so I am still learning and praticing for now.

Learning to code in Rust with the goal of eventually creating a snake game as my final project… and wow, this lesson just broke my brain.
Send help!!!
I don't think my brain is meant for system-level languages. Thank goodness it’s not the 60s and I’m not wrestling with actual Assembly—honestly, I might not have survived that.
I’m seeing an epidemic of learned helplessness in programming. Students are learning to prompt, not code.
Core skills like debugging are fading. AI should be a tool, not a crutch. We need devs who don't freeze at a blank page.

Tuần trước, mình hoàn thành trò chơi Snake đầu tay bằng Python Turtle! 🐍 Học OOP, game loop, phát hiện va chạm, đóng gói với PyInstaller & Git. Tính năng: Điều khiển bằng phím mủi tên/WASD, đếm điểm, đồ họa rắn, thông báo thua. Đây là dự án đầu tiên mình xong 100%, hứa sẽ không bỏ dở nữa 😅 Feedback tại GitHub nhé! #Python #GameDev #LậpTrình #TựHọc #SnakeGame #LearningToCode

Hello #Fediverse! 👋
I’m a Physics enthusiast venturing into the world of #Quantum and #Astronomy. 🌌⚛️
Currently, I’m on a journey to master #Python for scientific computing trying to bridge the gap between abstract theories and lines of code. 🐍💻
I'm here to find "my people": fellow science nerds, coders, and space lovers. If you're into #AstroDon physics discussions, or tech, let’s connect!

Learning to Code Without a Map: Mentorship and Entry Paths in the Post-Bootcamp Era
I’ve been disconnected from the junior and hiring scene since I stepped back into an individual contributor role. Recently, though, a friend of mine decided they wanted to get into the field. I poked my head up and looked around, and I was shocked at what I found. This talk is a great overview of what’s different today compared to six years ago, and what can be done about it.
Bootcamps once offered a fast, accessible path into tech—especially for career changers, people from nontraditional backgrounds, and folks historically excluded from the industry. As the industry shifts and many programs close or scale back, the landscape for learning and mentorship is changing fast. So where does that leave aspiring developers, and the folks trying to support them? In this talk, we'll explore how the loss of bootcamps is reshaping the journey into software development—especially for those who relied on them to break in—and what's emerging in their place. We'll look at the evolving entry paths, how mentorship is adapting without a structured pipeline, and how the Ruby community can step up to fill the gaps. Whether you're a hiring manager, an engineer (aspiring or otherwise!), or someone who loves to mentor, you'll walk away with a clearer picture of what's working, what's missing, and how we can all build more sustainable, inclusive pathways into tech—bootcamp or no bootcamp.
Slowly getting my hands on C, trying to learn it. I can understand the syntax, but putting that knowledge into practice is a pain because I can't find anywhere to use it. For instance, I know LambdaMOO pretty well because I use it, but with C, I'm sort of lost. I probably have too many questions and starting to build an app isn't easy. Guess I'm taking the wrong approach. Let's debate!
