@kiki my love to programming started when i learned pascal at school, the teacher was good enough to make all the class love programming

@jestdotty a lot of abstractions added to computers both software and hardware, it is hard to understand all the stuff !! new generation pretend to know computers, knowing some computer components and how to branch them together to form a new computer is not enough i guess, knowing how things work behind the scene can help if they get problems

@fraktalisman so you spent you childhood in a console, amazing !

@lorentz what is surprising you from the public opinion ?

@lorentz ugly in terms of UI everything else is fine

@lorentz i don't said that i don't like it but despite devrant's UI is ugly i like it because of the content + community

@kobenz no but hackernews clients have a nice design with link preview

@asgs because we are developers, every dev tool we use is ugly (ex: terminal)

@Ranchonyx i was happy with java, until i find that running a web server to display a simple html page need a complex configuration, now i'm fine with nodejs

@kobenz do you use any hackernews client mobile or web ?

@asgs do you use devrant if it is new (built 1 year ago) with small community + ugly UI ?

@asgs maybe because you only see the good side: content + community so you don't much care about the design since you are using the app from long time i guess

@kobenz how about hackernews

@retoor freelance ?

@usr--2ndry samanta is trained by wrong model

@AmyShackles what a great and short story, the bootcamp''s founder did a good job, it is really hard to get the first job in tech nowdays the field become more competitive, i dropout from university (computer science) 3 times (i hate education) and end up unemployable, my cost of living is very cheap ($600/month is enough to cover my living costs) if i find a remote position it will be great

@AmyShackles what pushed you to learn how to code and how you get your first dev job ? tell me i love stories

i just check you portfolio, no changes after 5 years

@usr--2ndry believe or not a company named amie raised $7 millions to create another calendar app

@retoor is it a hobby project or a real job project ?

did you join that company as an intern ? did you know only "c" that time before learning swift ?

investors money waiting for you

@retoor how about now, what is your current side prjects ?

@workabit storage is cheap

@retoor btw for the sqlite part, why not postgresql or mysql ?

@retoor sometimes i like more the ugly websites with a good purpose like devrant connecting developers, i used a lot of websites with outdated and ugly UI but serving their niche and i like that

@workabit are thinking to build a boring business one day -> retire -> enjoy your rest of life ?

@workabit maybe if i learn vuejs :D, what are you working on in your daily job ?

@workabit i take a look at quasar.dev and i feel like it is bloated framework, pwa, mobile,ssr,desktop,web !!!!

@retoor nothing is called "finished product", did you make an alternative if yes link please i'm curious
