As a quick anecdatum, I'm on macos and I'm definitely more than 20 years old, and there is a quite perceptible difference in responsiveness between Zed and a VSCode-based IDE for me. (Though then again I did play…
Highly recommend it as well. I'm a junior developer; that course gave me a much better sense for how to design software and answered a lot of software engineering / design-related questions that had coming up over and…
out of curiosity, how much applied math should one bone up on? (Obviously the more the better, but diminishing marginal returns and all that.)
I think it depends a lot on the specific school. I'm at an Ivy League school that tries to make its classes accessible even to people without previous experience.
there are languages that have better support with dependencies though, e.g. Julia (every time I have to debug dependency issues in some other person's Python code/requirements.txt, I find myself wishing it had been…
Another, lower-risk option: at some universities, it's quite possible for undergraduates to take graduate classes, especially if they've had the relevant background. So you could try applying to be an undergrad at such…
What other classes that you've tried would you recommend?
one example: https://about.sourcegraph.com/strange-loop/strange-loop-2019... another: I have RSI, and while I use speech recognition, my voice gets fatigued really easily. Also, using speech recognition in public can…

I'm a philosophy grad student who is currently doing some data science classes. First, I think the connection might've been clearer if you had taken an intro ethics or political philosophy class. For instance, the free…
