1. Retired. Mostly I read and surf the web. Take care of my health. 2. I left because I got old. Twelve hours of concentration just isn't worth it any more.
Attachment to a leader and/or parent seems to be a deep part of human personality. Especially in the first decade or two of life. I suppose a teacher-at-the-front could be replaced by a soft robot. But that's not a…
I got old and retired.
I've written many tens of thousands of lines of C, but retired 15 years ago. The two best books I know are: 1. C: A Reference Manual, by Harbison and Steele.…
One trick that works well for a limited set of situations: When reading a math or science textbook chapter, read the questions before the text of the chapter. The keywords in the questions will clue you in to the…
Most computers have only one instructions set. It might have hundreds of instructions, but it's only one set. Perhaps you nitwits mean the "One instruction" computer?
I'm pretty sure those M3's are around-the-ear. Unless you have gigantic ears. I'm wearing the M1 right now and it's around-the-ear.
Programming languages are like culture. If you're embedded in one then moving to another sometimes seems like a maze of funhouse mirrors. I once had the misfortune of changing from an Algol environment to a Cobol…
Google Keep for notes, recipes, shopping lists on my Ubuntu desktop and my Android phone.
The one thing you probably haven't been doing is having friendly work-oriented talks with your boss. A couple of times a week you should have been raising some easy issue just as a "heads-up" so the boss is up to date.…
Of course, the optimal way to respond to this is a contradiction: Raise a big stink, but secretly. This is not easy. I think the history of the "Tempest" security bug should be re-read every few years.
Your description of git raises a 'code smell' with me. I've found git to be far too complex to rely on. No, I don't have a replacement for cooperative development, but the thing is a bug trap (it leads you into…
And therefore you learned that wisdom can be most obscure.
For a real software developer, PHP is a horrible language. And Javascript is almost as bad. The software tools to help you build and deploy are also a painful mess. You'll have to test on multiple browsers running on…
Work with friends or whatever to find a new position before you end the one you have. Unemployment is very depressing. Avoid it. One week or two is okay.
As you get older, it gets harder to learn new stuff.
I dropped out in 1971 for reasons similar to yours. I am now retired. I've supported myself by writing software since the 1970's. Dropping out has cost me several hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don't know how many.…
Consumer demand is endless. The more they have, the more they want. Machine Learning, or whatever it turns into, will just expand the opportunities and the requirements.

I was one of 7 people coding one of the 7 different real-time sensors for a large networked product. Another team was programming the central network manager and data processor. The project was late and there was a…
That's what oncologists do. You aren't going to learn oncology in a week. So don't find a treatment, find the best cancer treatment center you can get the patient admitted to.
A much more complete book than K&R is "C: A Reference Manual", which has much better explanations. See it here: http://careferencemanual.com/, at its home page. Or at Amazon here:…
Interpreted languages are put together for ease and speed of programming, so the programmer gets stuff done quicker. Compiled languages are put together to let the programmer work harder to create programs that have…
Considering there is a war between many Arab entities and Israel, the different parts of Israel get along pretty well. In Israel, there are Moslem and Druze cops, soldiers, judges, doctors, nurses, and so on. If peace…
