Yeah, suburbia is not the problem. I'd much rather live in suburbia than a city. But if you can't go outside on your own, that loses a lot of the benefit.

They'll have to google. Only dinosaurs read manuals.

RTFM.

Don't need to be a dinosaur, only need to be a person willing to increase knowledge of a topic.

Google is 'cliff-notes' -compared to reading a manual- and that is not learning, it's cheating oneself.

Ah now see if you’d read the manual you’d know that it’s “Cliff’s Notes” not cliff notes. Thanks for all the notes, Clifton Hillegass!

Developers aren't developers to learn, they're developers to make a living. There might be a few Kool aid chuggers who want to be better tools for the boss but most folks would rather save the time for themselves and/or their families.

I viewed an apartment recently that had quadruple pane windows! The aparment faced a noisy freeway. They worked quite well.

(guessing)

They want a minimum that is visible, even during the day, so people don't think their phone is broken.

"begin".

Other comments says this can take days to get to everyone.

I seem to recall a study that showed, per hour worked to get into medicine, that being a physician did not pay particularly well.

Consider opportunity costs for all those hours spent studying. Salary, in isolation, is not a sufficient measure.

too small a market to be worth investing.

> I'd go so far as to say that build tools shouldn't even have an option to automatically pull the latest - "version" should be a required field for all dependencies

When I'm developing, I frequently grab latest versions. Until i share, I want to keep up to date.

They are all very pretty, but they are also the sort of photograph that it's hard to spot errors in. What color should it be? What is the texture of the rocks? I have no idea. This could be an accurate picture or an inaccurate one, I have no way of knowing.

Picture of the human face are best for picking up artifacts. You'll spot anything wrong almost immediately, you have hardware for that.

I've seen the same tutoring math. It's tough to get through, as it's a learning style that got them this far. Of course, not they are needing tutoring, so it's stopped working.

How does writing code by hand fix this? They can still write the same things from the same understandings. I've had some luck having people explain things to me, without looking at the code/math.

The value is in getting them to write down what happens step by step as their program executes.

Writing things by hand can just help facilitate that because it removes the ability to run the program and get the final result.

People can lean on their tools to 'guess and check' their work. Write a loop, run the program, and get an out of bounds error. They'll have learned oh this error means I need to subtract one from my loop bounds. And sometimes that works, though many times, it means there's an edge case they didn't properly handle.

When you only have pencil and paper and you need to explain to me what your code does you have to write down a representation of what's in memory and then how it changes step by step as the code runs.

I would be way too impatient to write code like this. It is hard for me to imagine how anyone could do this. I guess I do not really get this, it almost feels to me like people want to be hipsterish a bit. But of course I am likely wrong.

I have no citation, but I’ve been told that writing something out by hand stimulates different parts of the brain, as does explaining that thing out loud.
