You must be one of those lucky guys who works without certification/education qualifications.

One of the reasons I've no desire to work for a big bureaucratic company that foolishly believes certs have any value beyond enriching the companies selling them.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They make hell out of money due to employee certificate. But for the employee, it's what it is. Beside experience, You have to have something even to get screening and interviewed.

I think programming or computer science in general is more similar to managing/designing a restaurant or packing luggage for a vacation than like it is to math or language. Those latter two are sometimes sub-disciplines, though. Our code might perform math operations or we might try to make really clean code that is readable in a prose-like manner. Maybe mark-up language coding would rely more on the language part of the brain.

Studies of Brain Activity Aren’t as Useful as Scientists Thought | Duke Today[^]
In this case, what did they actually study? Someone programming? Reading code? Thinking? An MRI has very strong magnets so the subjects couldn't be using a device and would have had to stay immobile for several minutes. I happen to agree with the hypothesis that coding languages are not the same as written or spoken languages, but this is horrifically bad "science". (Beyond what I said, the selection of the "languages" is questionable and where is the control group? Say, someone who speaks half a dozen languages?)

I will read the Duke study closely because if they turn that upside down then a lot of the past 20 years of brain study will go away and would turn a lot of the understanding of the brain upside down. And, when I say that I'm not saying I care, just interesting because they've put a lot into the MRI studies showing where brain activity occurs.

Yeah, another, "first, we need physical access" hack, but a cool one anyway.

Only if our grandchildren have bionic eyes with light amplification or telescopes built in. SpaceX's currently being launched Starlink design has been modified to be sufficiently non-reflective (by installing sunshades to keep the shiny parts of the bottom on shadow) that from their operational orbit they're too dim to be seen by the naked eye.

In this post, I’m going to introduce you to a GitHub Action that creates machine-translations for .NET localization. Because sometimes you need to remind people about the amount of eels in your hovercraft

Even if you’re not interested in working for Tesla or SpaceX, CEO Elon Musk’s favorite interview question is an important one to think about. I guess that's why he's a billionaire and we're not
Well, I'm not, anyway. Elon might be subscribed, after all.

Hmm, didn't you post this (or something very similar, because I remember replying to it) a couple months ago?  Maybe it wasn't you.

That's one or both of us having "efficient" memories again. Probably me - I can barely remember the items posted the day before, let alone a couple of months ago - sorry.
