First off, there has to be a clear division of responsibilities. If you don't want to be the "chickens guy", there has to be some way to incentivize and cleanly hand off all the chickens chores. If everyone is responsible, no one is.

The first thing that comes to my mind is a ticketing system with a time-dependent bounty attached. The chickens investors establish the chicken requirements, such as "ensure that all chickens are inside the coop and secure it against predators before civil twilight". That ticket repeats daily, with a bounty rising until the deadline, at which time the bounty freezes at the maximum, and the nag program starts messaging people to go do the task before a raccoon shows up. When you do the task, you press a button, which attaches a timestamped photo of you to the ticket log, which is freely auditable by the stakeholders.

The mobile farm app is continuously updated with outstanding chore tickets.

The investors pay the bounties, so it would behoove them to more often do the chores attached to the farm products for which they are larger stakeholders. If someone would prefer to skip a chore to bring in some outside income, they will essentially be paying someone else out of that to pick up the farm slack. If everyone winds up doing that, there might be professional farmhands available as the fallback, so the bounties would have to reflect what it actually costs a farming professional to do the tasks.

I am a software worker because I am an essentially lazy person, so if I were involved, it is very likely that I would invest heavily in a perennial polyculture plot, and spend much of my time researching robotic harvester designs and preservation methods for uncommon fruits and vegetables. For instance, how do you get a pawpaw off the tree and to the customer before it rots? How many walnut trees can you use in your canopy before you start shading out your persimmons? How cold can a trifolate orange tree get before you lose the fruit? Would people eat linden leaf salads? How do I encourage permanently resident pollinators?

The only people seriously looking at these questions, if anyone, would be Ag-Sci professors and their grad students. And their research might not necessarily have practical utility when it comes to making a profit as a part-time farmer.

And, of course, it goes without saying that we would have to jailbreak the Deere and come up with some open source firmware.
That alone makes the program entirely unusable.

I should have used a more accurate word than "problem".

There are two sorts of problems in science: coming up with assumptions and answering questions under these assumptions. I was thinking about the second category. Modeling gravity falls in the first category, where problems are a lot like engineering problems - there is no final answer.

However, problems in the second category often have final answers (let's not bring Gödel's incompleteness theorem to the table) once you bring all the assumptions with you. Think about: in classical mechanics, what are the possible planet trajectories? This problem has already been solved, and since it is solved, it is solved for good. Later students can simply learn the solution by heart. You can, of course, insist to go through all the trouble of finding out the answer - that is what physical majors often do anyway - but the point is that you don't have to as long as you trust the science community.

In software development you don't have this luxury. First, you can almost never trust libraries to be 100% bug-free; second, even it really is correct, you always suffer from performance costs from invoking the library. There is no such thing as "performance" in scientific knowledge; indeed, a short proof is better than a long one as long as they are both correct, but they are just as useful in that they show the solution is correct.
The concept of what you're saying is nice, but I don't know if I agree. In an ideal society, yes, cops would just be other citizens. But talking about cops as if we existed in that ideal world doesn't do anything to move us toward that ideal world. The fact is, cops are largely above the law and incarcerate thousands of people annually, disproportionately along racial and economic lines, and frequently for non-violent crimes. An average citizen can't walk up to another person and put them in jail, basically at will. A cop can: all it takes is planting a little evidence. Cops in America aren't ordinary citizens, they're threats to ordinary citizens, and speaking wishfully about them isn't going to fix that.

> The is a huge shortage of devs.

If the high salaries for developers were due to a training-insufficiency-based shortage of qualified devs, the natural market for training programs would be hiring firms, not would-be devs.

The reason the market is would-be devs is because, insofar as there is a shortage, its a talent-and-inclination-based shortage, but you can sell it to would-be devs as a training-based shortage that they are taking advantage of by buying into your program.

2 - control instructions (it wasn't obvious you had to use the keyboard arrows, also because of (1).

3 - if the room is crowded, the game will never start as long people keep joining. Put a timer or similar.

IMHO, Andrew's point about "hundreds of years from now...", pertaining destructive artificial intelligence is flawed, due to:

1. unless we jump into a hidden block somewhere, we're definitely on our way to creating machines in the next 30 years that can out think humans in every way

2. given point 1, we tend to place an anthropomorphic role on the "destructive" nature of future "robots", forgetting that:

A) machine sentience is not required for machine-induced destruction

B) a few humans with very powerful machines can be quite destructive

I went through Hack Reactor. It's not a CS degree, but I work next to people having one. I don't think they're necessarily better at their job.
"The CS degree for the 21st century" can mean anything. It's just marketing bullshit. That being said, judging startups (and IMO Hack Reactor is essentially a startup) based on their marketing would mean that 90% of startups are - what you call - "dishonest".

I enjoyed HR, I'm valuable for the company I'm working for, I maintain a couple of successful Open Source projects (~ 500 stars each) in Go, JavaScript and Haskell.

Without being too arrogant, most CS graduates can barely code. And realistically that's what most of us either do or should do all day long.
Don’t waste your breath telling them how much they don’t know or why they are wrong. Instead, calmly remind them of the liability they are inviting and accepting by not allowing you to do your job.

What liability? We don't hold cops responsible for jack shit in America. Unless they are literally filmed in the act of murder, the worst consequence they'll ever see is a paid vacation.
I liked cursors.io better.
While it's maybe a bit of an exaggeration, good bootcamps have an emphasis on (ahem) marketable skills that a lot of CS programs don't. You'd be right that you don't learn a ton of theory like you would in CS, but App Academy at least (and I'd assume Hack Reactor as well) makes sure you have enough grounding in programming fundamentals that learning new languages/frameworks/stacks isn't hard.

That said, one weird thing I've heard about Hack Reactor is that they purposely will hold back students they feel aren't 100% where they want them to be and keep them from graduating. Whether that's out of genuine concern for students or it's just to inflate their job placement numbers (or both), I couldn't tell you.

I recently finished a Partial Hospitalization Program that taught techniques to battle distorted/irrational thinking. In the past I would just rely on my medication but this time I had to meet the meds half way. Without Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I would be in serious trouble (or dead). If someone here knows anyone who is suffering from a mental illness; this therapy could really help them get back on their feet.

After reading your responses on this thread, I just hope your bootcamp does not teach PR disaster prevention. Or, uh, grammar.

Speaking as someone who was once in your shoes, by far the fastest way to learn to write automated test cases is to learn from existing ones. Suppose someone more senior than you has written a test that does this:

- Set up the framework and connect to the app under test
- enter "fred" in the username field
- enter "derf" in the password field
- click the Submit button
- verify that the login is successful

Then if you copy-paste that test and spend some time experimenting with it, you can probably turn it into a test that enters an incorrect password and verifies that it is unsuccessful without really doing any actual "coding". That's the best way to contribute while you come up to speed - the more cases you write, the more comfortable you will get with the language and with the framework.

If you don't have someone senior to copy off of, you can still do it, it'll just go slower. "How do I get selenium to click a button" plus an afternoon will get you well underway. Steer clear of any "programming fundamentals" - you don't need to understand classes and interfaces and the difference between "final" and "static" yet, you just need enough basic syntax to get some simple tests built so you can experiment with them.

Good luck!
"DAW" is a ridiculously overloaded term.

It contains such diverse tools as:

REAPER and Ardour and ProTools - Multitrack recording tools, used for recording live performances, with some basic MIDI capabilities built up over the years.

Cubase and Logic - MIDI sequencers, with multitrack capabilities accreted over many years to the point where multitrack recording (in the same contexts as the above category) is not unheard of, though the UI focus is different.

Fruity Loops and Ableton Live - Loop composition tools (for lack of a better description). Both are designed around loops as the basic building block of sound. While they have limited recording and MIDI capabilities, one likely wouldn't use FL or Ableton to make a symphonic soundtrack for a film, and certainly wouldn't use either to record a full band of performing musicians.

Renoise and apparently Radium - Trackers for the current century. These evolved out of the old Soundtracker style music programs (including Protracker, MED, etc. on the Amiga and then onto FT and Impulse Tracker on early PCs). They've acquired most of the functionality one expects from sequencers and loop based music programs, but don't usually have any multi-track recording facilities.

All are called DAWs by their developers and users, and yet how one uses them is pretty different. I pretty regularly use Ardour and REAPER for multitrack recording. And, I occasionally use Fruity Loops and LMMS for tinkering with remixes. And, I occasionally use Renoise for making electronic music.

I'd like it if there were separate terms for each of these concepts, as it would give folks a good language for talking about what each of these types of tools do. It would also rule out a lot of the stupid confrontational crap that often comes up ("Your program sucks because I can't do X, Y and Z, and I only ever use this other program!" where X, Y, and Z are functions specific to one of the above types of DAW...like "I can't easily do loop-based remixes in ProTools. ProTools sucks!").

> The checks on abuse of power should happen at a higher level in the system than making rules about what an officer can reliably testify about.

Why should there even be such rules? An officer, like any witness, can testify about anything they observe that is relevant to the matter under consideration by the court, and not barred by any generally-applicable prohibition (e.g., hearsay, etc., to the extent that is barred.)

Whether such testimony is reliable is a matter for the court/jury receiving the testimony to consider, based on the statement, any evidence of bias of the witness, and any conflicting or corroborating evidence.

Treating cops as privileged witnesses in any domain makes no sense, and seems to be contrary to the whole thrust of the Constitutional constraints on the criminal justice system, which are to protect the individual from arbitrary action by the government or its agents.

I had a similar thought. All my life I thought I wanted this for me. I did, in fact, move to Yosemite for a stretch. While success in anything is generally about how well you execute it paired with how much you desire the end result, I learned that I actually did not want that life, that I really didn't feel at home in a natural environment, and that I missed the feeling of "security" being mashed in among a bunch of humans can sometimes bring.

When I returned, I realized that there is nothing about the world of tech that is any less real, relevant or right than is the world of nature. We may not always do things in ways that produce the least negative impact for our fellow humans, or on nature in general, but show me how this digital reality of ours is invalid?

I actually thrive under the massive hours of work, the stress of delivering and the multitasking mentally I have to endure to stay afloat in the tech industry. It may not be the most conducive to a family life, but I'm figuring it out as I go and I know that I will be happier for having not stayed out in the wilderness.

I applaud anyone who finds what they need, what they want, and once they have it are happy. But I don't believe all humanity is going to find the same thing makes them happy, or is really what they need.
