  1. Hi everyone, I'm Jose. #introduction

    I've spent 15+ years as a cloud architect, and I write Unified Path Media: plain-English cloud lessons for people changing careers into tech.

    Six free series, taught in order, from "what's a server?" to writing Terraform. You practice in a free lab on your own computer, so there's no cloud bill while you learn.

    Ask me anything about getting into cloud.

  3. 😴 "Programming Tutorials Are Dead," declares the oracle who clearly never met a noob. 💀🔧 Meanwhile, self-taught developers everywhere laugh hysterically as they Google "how to center a div" for the hundredth time. 🙄📚

  4. If you already know how to build web apps, you can now build native GNOME desktop applications using standard Node, React, and TypeScript.
    Say hello to GTKX!
    It combines your favorite web tools with actual native widgets, full type safety, and fast hot reloading.

    No complex native code required - just pure web developer magic.

  5. 🚀 NEW on We ❤️ Open Source 🚀

    Jasmine Glancy learned to code through accessible courses, community programs, hackathons, and collaborative projects—building both technical skills and experience working on shared codebases.

    Her roadmap offers practical starting points for others exploring a lateral move into tech.

  6. A pattern we keep seeing: the strongest portfolios aren't the ones with the most certificates. They're the ones with one project the person can explain in real depth — what broke, why, and how they fixed it.

    If your project has never broken, it probably hasn't been tested enough.

  7. Built a couple of free, project-based coding roadmaps (Go, React/Frontend) with an in-browser sandbox — no signup needed to try the projects.

    Wanted something closer to actually building real things than the usual watch-a-video-and-forget-it tutorials. Still early, built mostly solo, so rough edges are expected.

    Would love feedback from anyone who's into project-based learning.

  8. Що б я сказав собі, коли тільки починав вчити першу мову програмування? Мабуть, не гаяти час на HTML, а одразу братись за C++ або Java 😁

    Але тоді матеріали для навчання були значно важчими за сьогоднішні.
    Зараз навчання це знання одразу з практикою. Коли починав я, це була переважно суха теорія й математичні формули без жодного пояснення, навіщо воно взагалі потрібне.

    Знайоме відчуття, коли зубриш щось, а розуміння "для чого" приходить набагато пізніше?

    У мене таких моментів було достатньо.

    Головний висновок за ці роки: теорія разом з практикою одразу дають набагато кращий результат. А іноді саме практика виявляється найбільшим прискорювачем, навіть коли теорія ще не до кінця вляглася в голові.

  11. Giovedì 13 agosto alle 21 sul mio canale "Compila Quindi Va" continuiamo il viaggio nel magico mondo di Rust approfondendo i concetti di base.

    Analizzeremo i tipi di dato, il "control flow", i particolari meccanismi di Ownership e Borrowing (che non sono personaggi de "Il Signore degli Anelli" eh!?) con esempi pratici e codice.

    Chi vuole studiarlo live con me è il benvenuto! 🤗

  12. 🔧 #learntocode
    but also learn why to code
    what to code
    when to code

    not to mention you can also just have a lot of fun coding

  13. Okay, I finished a third or fourth rewrite of this basic intro to web APIs from a few years ago.

    stefanbohacek.com/blog/weather

    I might revisit some of the older tutorials as well. Yeah, I know, vibe coding is all the rage these days.

    Still, someone might appreciate this.

  15. Fear and Loathing of AI (Part III): “Learn AI” Is the New “Learn to Code”

    By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

    There is a sentence that shows up in every technological cycle right before the disappointment phase begins.

    “Just learn the skill.”

    It sounds empowering. It sounds reasonable. It sounds like personal agency.

    It is also a lie we have been telling people for decades.

    The obedience script

    “Learn to code” was never about opportunity.
    It was about discipline.

    It trained people to accept that:

    • structural failures are personal problems,
    • economic insecurity is an individual moral test,
    • and survival depends on constant retraining at your own expense.

    When the promised jobs didn’t materialize—or paid far less than advertised—the story shifted seamlessly: you didn’t learn the right language, the right framework, the right stack.

    Now the phrase has been updated.

    “Learn AI.”

    Same script. Same pressure. Same outcome.

    Skills don’t collapse — markets do

    Coding did not fail because people were lazy or incapable. It failed because markets flooded, tools commoditized, and labor lost leverage.

    AI will follow the same arc, only faster.

    The moment a skill becomes:

    • widely accessible,
    • easily automated,
    • and expected rather than rewarded,

    it stops being a path to security and becomes a baseline requirement for staying afloat.

    The reward for compliance is not prosperity.
    It is continued participation.

    Training as cost transfer

    Here is what “learn AI” really means in practice:

    • You pay for the courses.
    • You absorb the time cost.
    • You shoulder the career risk.
    • You adapt repeatedly as tools change.
    • You accept lower pay because “AI makes you more efficient.”

    None of that is accidental.

    It is a system designed to push costs downward while extracting value upward.

    The more often you are told to retrain, the clearer it becomes that training itself is the product.

    The illusion of agency

    People are encouraged to believe that mastery equals control.

    But control does not come from skill alone.
    It comes from:

    • ownership,
    • bargaining power,
    • regulation,
    • and collective leverage.

    Without those, skill is just labor dressed up as self-improvement.

    Learning AI may help you keep your job a little longer.
    It will not protect you from the logic of the system deploying it.

    What learning actually means now

    This does not mean you should refuse to learn.

    It means you should learn without illusions.

    Learn AI the way you learn any tool:

    • to reduce friction,
    • to save time,
    • to extend what you already do.

    Do not learn it expecting salvation.
    Do not learn it expecting loyalty from platforms.
    Do not learn it expecting the market to reward you for effort.

    Markets reward leverage, not diligence.

    The quiet truth

    The most dangerous part of “learn AI” is not that it is false.

    It is that it is incomplete.

    It tells people how to adapt, but never who benefits.
    It demands flexibility, but never offers stability.
    It promises relevance, but never guarantees dignity.

    We have seen this cycle before.

    And it did not end with freedom.

    It ended with exhaustion.

  17. Join @vyruss today, 4/3 at 10 AM EST for a live, hands-on session based on Chapter 2 of his book, "#PostgreSQL Mistakes and How to Avoid Them" hosted on LinkedIn Live. 🐘

    He'll break down common #SQL anti-patterns that lead to incorrect results and hidden performance issues, pairing explanations with live terminal demos.

    You should leave feeling much better equipped to write safer (& faster!) #Postgres queries.
