Does anyone still use Tumblr? 🙏😅😬

This is an honest question.

Interact if you are alive, and well.

Is it true? Verizon will be killing Tumblr??

Long-time follower (don't even remember how), first-time asker: changing careers and wanted to ask someone in the field. There are all these coding boot camps/non-accredited programs being advertised online and I'm curious if they are worth it vs. a traditional computer science degree. I'll admit I don't even know yet what area I would want to specialize in, but I just need to get the ball rolling on entering a career I enjoy. Thoughts?

Let me just say this.

Formal education is not really a prerequisite for most of the available roles in the software world. I only attended college for a couple of months, and decided a CS degree wasn't right for me. Granted at the time their web courses were at least 2-4 years behind in terms of real world usage (unless you wanted to work for some massive corporate software machine, this was 10 years ago).

I think the route I took is still an effective route

1) pick something that interests you

2) come up with some sort of project, or idea you want to make, or contribute to open source

3) start coding, you will learn on your way

4) repeat a bunch of times

After you feel comfortable enough apply for a jr position at a company, and use your projects as your resume. The current amount, and quality of freely avaible information is a MIND FUCK. When I first got into this I was lucky if I saw a forum post explaining how to do something the wrong way... 

Its an ever-changing field, which is why being able to learn on your own is much more powerful than taking a course in whatever... 

At the moment “real world experience”  is valued much more than degrees, and the barrier of acquiring such experience is pretty low.

Best of luck!

This is incredible! At first i was like hmm that doesn't sound like music, then the dude drops the beat hard.

wait for her reaction when he drops the bomb

Dear god, that woman’s voice. You could cut steel with her voice. Her voice is triggering primal “fight or flight” responses in most mammals. It’s a voice that says “I’m an evil hateful smug sack of shit.”

Also, good on you, President of Mexico.

Also it would seem as if shes trying to communicate with her viewers as if there was no such thing as a mic.

This man rolled into my restaurant last year 16 people deep. He’s the nicest, fiercest, and tallest motherfucker I’ve ever met.

He seems pretty awesome, too bad the US just has a bunch of jokers running for president.

I love her, she does the weirdest shit.

She definitely does

Prominent (or simply facebook-prolific) member of new friend group posts these periodically. She often does this with raw meat and eggs, which immediately triggers my germaphobia.

Like, why doesn’t she have salmonella or any number of foodborne illnesses yet? It’s all I can think about when she does this.

As a male every one of her videos is a emotional rollarcoaster for me.
