Ya that’s the same boat I’m in. HR always feels like a PITA though. Mentors have always told me I’m worth senior but my spreadsheet says otherwise

What’s your level of experience like? Always curious how that affects the hit rate
Curious what you don’t like about it. I only just swapped over and haven’t noticed much of a change yet
Genuine question. Who still uses a scrollbar for more than a visual indicator of progress?
Not really sure what you’re trying to achieve here. Do you have an application that lets you use Lua extensions? Or do you want to build an application that lets you use Lua extensions?
I’m too old to die on any hills these days but mainly if it:
Then I’m happy
Don’t start with classes. Start with something that actually does something you understand. Like updating text files. Or pulling data about something you find interesting

Is a good book every newbie should read. It teaches you how to use programming like a tool
For anyone curious I already looked it up on glassdoor: $250~$450 a year (and obv some sort of equity)
Wish they'd list their damn salaries
Nah, I like seeing what other people think. It gives me the chance to try out ideas and arguments in a space with low consequences. Downvotes are instant feedback with a low barrier to entry
In what world is that a logical following of what the other person said?
Python is the way to go for any newbie imo. Js has too many weird pitfalls that don’t make sense when first starting out
Sure this is technically true, but it doesn’t really fix the human need to find things. It would be better if some grouping of Fediverse instances came together under a common banner and agreed to certain protocols that helped make things like mass-indexing easier. This would enable a better frontend experience for people trying to find good content. In fact I think building more protocols on top of the existing one would be exactly inline with the philosophical underpinnings of the Fediverse
So much this. The signups process desperately needs to be streamlined
Who else would know about a new type of social media tech that hasn’t existed before?
Right hand rule ftw. There was a buffet in my home town called Pi King. They had instructions on the sleeve. Took me a few tries but managed to pick it up as a kid
