Damn you must be old then did you ever think you will get 1 gb ram vps for 1 usd/month back then ?
2nd. I highly recommend everyone take one for computer science. While I dont like ASM. It's still very helpful to understand what your programs become with most compilers.
I denpole stuff once a while with x64debug
Useful to know basics
Not my first class we had to use Linux. Had a few others. When getting my bachelor's we where given an Amazon VPS with a GPU and Windows on it, to run Jupiter notebook and create AI.
For my full stack development we used Amazon S3, DynamoDB, and I forgot what else to create a website that you could post comments on.
Also learned Android develoment as well. Created a database app that actually hashed passwords and used your phone to send a text when inventory was low.
Yep, 59y old
About VPS, nobody knew that term back then!
FOR THE RUSH
Agreed. We where using AT&T syntax, x86 instructions set. I still have my projects and links to documention all saved. This was when covid started so it was all at home. I'm glad it was because I already had a Linux VM at home and was faster to dev at home than in class. We also where given all 8 lab assignments at once, but we didn't have to work on it until after test 1 (notes for the coding didn't start until after test 1). I just really wanted to code. I finished all the labs in a 2/3 day coding run. Was told to skip labs classes when I did that Xd
Hello, I would like to double the bandwidth.
Order: 6168575968
Thanks!
What is internet?
In my school i finosh tasks in about 1/5 time
So one day (maybe two, maybe half) instead of a week
For english tasks is about 5-10min instead of 2-3 90min lessons
The school has a really really low level
Could tell few stories of the BS system here...
I wanted to and I even bought a book 15 years back. Never opened it.
That is awesome. But, you'd agree that having exposure to this in the early years of your life did have a huge impact on how you dealt with COmputery stuff later on in life, right?
Didn't know we had members in that age group as well. If you don't mind me asking, how many years of experience do you have in the field right now?
xpress right now:-

Everything had an impact. Not every class had a huge impact. For example I learned docker and school, and never stopped after that one class. Still use it today.
We have had a very bad system here, in India. The Govt. and everybody wanted to have a huge IT field, but no one was ready to invest for decades. Kids interested had to get their own PCs and hardware, unlike in US and some other countries, where you are handed over a Mac over when in school. Recently, a new education policy is to be implemented which concentrates on the fact that not everyone is the same. A child interested in being an artist shouldn't have to worry about passing his differentiation/integration exam. I believe with this new policy, there could be a paradigm shift.
A few years ago some state Govt.s started giving out free laptops, as part of election freebies. Instead of landing in the hands of children interested in computers, parents decided to get one in their free name and then sell them. Sad.
Tbh not everyone will like it. In fact it's really hard and takes so much time to actually create stuff. If you want to reverse engineer stuff, than you need to really learn it. You can still be a good programmer without it. Furthest we went was create a program that took in x user input of numbers. Print out the order they gave, than print it out sorted.
You were taught Docker in school as well? That is awesome. I still know Engg. students here who have taken up Python but learn it enough to pass the exam. A majority of them don't even have had access to Python IDE yet.
Yup, reverse engineering is the reason i wanted to learn at that time. I had the subject in my Engineering, and had a lab as well. But only read for exams.
Come on, I know some Computer Science Engineering passed out students, who doesn't even know basics of computer.
Any junior here is probably as competent as I am
You can't really talk about experience, because I quickly moved into sales. I used this knowledge to create my first websites and online stores. My first site was on ovh's first server, Poconos in the U.S.
Now I'm just able to play with legos. growth hacking for sales teams.
What about you? Tell us a little about yourself!
punch cards ?
That's the issue. It causes two major issues. Most Engineers in India aren't job-ready when they pass out. The companies have to train them, losing time.
What are those?
Why so silent?! Make some noise for the Chef!
CHEF-TIME-FOR-SAME-CRAZY-DEALS-COME-OUT-N-PLAY!
Probably due for a FLASH SALE?
Found out -
Yup. BF is almost here. Time to bring the chef out, Dustin!
