Incidentally, the story of the guy who wrote the song is pretty interesting.

@bitsplusatoms I officially put the idea into the Public Domain 😃 You can do with it what you will. I have often used MicroVAX systems as room heaters as the need arose, but building NetBSD was actually 'useful' work, something that predominately generates heat is just a heater 😆

@ChuckMcManis @bitsplusatoms Years ago at Sun my office mate had a Sun 4/260 dual pedestal deskside workstation. (One pedestal had CPU/memory/tape, the other had disk drives.) He decided to quit, and on his last day he cleared out his personal effects and turned off his workstation. Within 30 minutes the office got so cold that my fingers stiffened up and I couldn’t type. I had to turn his machine back on in order to continue working.

I don't know if it's possible to get a good answer to this but: if you learned how to make websites with, like, users who can login and do things where the website stores stuff in a database, without doing it as a job, how did you do it?

I feel like in principle I know all of the basic pieces (HTTP, HTML, CSS, SQL, CORS, various programming languages, etc), but also somehow it still feels extremely hard to me

(no advice please, only stories)

quite simply by reading docs, blogs, and forums, and lots of trial and error.

I’m sure it helped that I was a teenager back then, who thought I could do everything. And that I didnt have to consider things such as CORS, http, build tools, etc.

@illwillsys Well PhP was replaced with Electron or React, MySql with Redis or Mongo or RDS or some other NoSQL type thing, Nginx replaced Apache, and Linux was replaced by microservices orchestrated by Kubernetes but other than that its exactly the same.

@ramsey @janl

Yep, that’s me as well. I taught myself as teenager when I was in secondary school.

Even after school I didn’t want to do this as a career, but studied physics and chemistry. Tried for over a year to get a job in that field without success before I considered doing software development as a job. Sent out a single application for a job as web developer, got offered that job, and decided it must be a sign.

That was 20 years ago. And I’m still doing software development.

FWIW, my kid (11) is super interested and is teaching himself all the same stuff in much the same way.

First JS/html/css, then Kotlin. Now he’s spent the last few days battling with a raspberry pi to set up a SQL server, and is determined to learn sql.

But not sure that alone will lead to a professional career: he’ll have to study something related if he still wants to pursue this as a career in a few years time …

Ben Ramsey 3 weeks ago • mastodon (AP)

@janl All I had to do was focus on the code. I didn’t have to learn those other pieces at the same time, which, to me, would have been pretty big hurdles. There were very few moving parts, so to speak.

Nick Sloan 3 weeks ago • mastodon (AP)

@ramsey @wez @janl It is impossible to overstate the extent to which today’s common web stacks are designed for solving Facebook and Google’s problems. Everything is so complex in part because the tools have been architected for a scale and context that is irrelevant to nearly every project that uses them.

We’re all subsidizing the biggest companies in the world.

It’s been commonly known for years that Spotify is using “ghost artists” to minimize royalty pay outs to actual working musicians.

Few people care, but it’s worth mentioning anyway because this one company has done more damage to music than Napster ever allegedly did.
