Most @UnderdogDevs are formerly incarcerated and pursuing software dev jobs for economic mobility.

A big barrier: working to pay the bills -> limited time for rigorous study -> no software job.

So, we're running an experiment: stipends to support full-time study. How it works:

As a senior director of sales, I can't emphasise this enough: please invest 30 minutes learning Excel today. Not tomorrow. Today. Start with XLOOKUP, then Pivot Tables, then IF and SUMIFS. These are the skills that actually get you hired. 30 minutes is 2% of your day. You have the time.

@dafogell Friedrich Nietzsche and Marcus Garvey are two philosophers who have some really good books.

Hacker Infrastructure: Installing Your Own Command and Control (C2) Server in Kali Linux, Part 1

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

For the record, people from countries that have never had a successful modern revolution need to learn to sit down and shut up more often when those with actual revolutions in progress are going about their business.

If Burkina Faso is receiving criticism from Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Cuban, North Korean or Iranian sources, such criticism can be taken seriously and acted on. The source makes the critique valid because they've actually been there and done that.

But if the criticism is coming from our chronically online brethren in White-istan, their cousins in Epstein-istan, and their eternally hapless southern vassals in Arab-istan and Afristan, it has all the value of a Child Rights bill sponsored by Ghislaine Maxwell.

If you haven't figured out how to stop your own taxes from being directly used to fund the wholesale murder of Sahelian villagers, Congolese shopkeepers, Iranian schoolchildren and Palestinian olive farmers; if your own government has revealed that it is controlled by a network of rich White-istanis who eat cute little white girls with pigtails and call their meat "jerky" and you did absolutely nothing about it except make upper case tweets with lots of exclamation marks, your opinions about Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso, the Sahelian Alliance, or any other anti-imperial project are completely worthless and nobody needs them.

That Palestine flag on your Twitter display name has zero revolutionary value and nothing you say has any value. At best, you're a cheerleader and nothing more. So stay on the sidelines, wave your internet pom-poms and learn to shut the fuck up while the actual players on the field get things done.

Rant over.

This is what sets Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk apart from most every other open world game.

The world isn't just window dressing for the main story, it's an integral part of the experience, and what you can do in that world, the quests you can undertake, the characters you interact with, what they add can't be overstated.

Exploring and taking on quests or contracts isn't a map clearing chore, it's an absolute pleasure and one I always felt organically drawn to through the fantastic writing and characters.

Expect to see a lot more of this. Vibe coding, 3d printing, cheap motors, and boards (soon, after the Great Correction) WILL lead to a true cambrian explosion of robotics

Home-built robotics projects will be the new "my first weather/calendar app" entry point for "SWE" types
