If you want to learn the stuff necessary for that certification, here's a document, the WAS Body of Knowledge listing what you need to know and maybe where you can learn that. Less detailed version in the WAS Exam Content Outline.

could you tell me what book it is 👀

Same, I'd prefer to see this from programming.dev. Subbed anyways, because aside from changing my wallpaper I left my PC at a totally default look and would like to pressure myself to change it by following this community.

I figure this community could benefit from an ad in the many Linux communities on Lemmy.

Might be worth telling the various datahoarder communities on Lemmy

would probably be welcome in !javascript@programming.dev

taking apps meant for one thing and using them for something else is my favorite thing

even if this is still very related because it's physical activity timing

We also have !softwaregore@programming.dev!

OP has a very appropriate username for posting software gore. I guess I kind of do too.

Made me curious if Torvalds at least got some reward for his work besides gratitude from people who use his stuff. I'm not sure how credible internet estimates of net worth are but looking up "Linus Torvalds net worth" keeps showing me stuff from $50–$150 million so hey, at least he's (probably) comfortable. Not exactly Tony Stark superhero territory but if he wasn't rich enough to sit at home and sleep for the rest of his life if he wanted to I'd probably be upset on his behalf for a bit, before I moved onto the next outrage of the day. Glad to see he's well-off.

Also doing something pretty similar to OP and do not anticipate needing any more than 4TB for awhile, first I have seen of external drives being approved. (Only own laptops, very intimidated by all this SATA stuff right now—am new and every time I try to learn more on r/datahoarders I feel slammed by information overload.)

don't post pictures of my face online, that's rude >:(

In all seriousness I wonder why I always realize I could have explained myself better/left something out/omg formatting error better fix it/holy shit typo after the initial commit, and have like 4 different ones (or a bunch of rebases in an effort to keep the repo clean of this crap) fixing it, instead of pushing just a correct and complete readme from the beginning.

This is also why most of my Lemmy comments have edits. Not some weird sketchy crap editing things in to make others look bad or totally change my point after getting refuted, but just… oops typo or I could reword that to be more understandable or I meant to say this and totally forgot about it.

AI thrives in clarity but struggles in ambiguity.

Oof, I guess I'm an AI. As a human who's not very creative at all your article bodes very poorly for my future in programming. Thanks for your transparency in telling us you are linking to your own blog.

Seeing "Etude" out of a musical context feels so wild to me. That book grabbed my attention just because of that.

Hey, I was going to read that person's recommendations anyways, but thanks for the explanation of why each one matters :)

Whoever made this graphic, it looks pretty attractive just on sheer visuals, props to you

Luckily I have not met any programmer like that yet, let's keep our fingers crossed.

I'm willing to believe the bar to pass to be a successful programmer requires a certain level of problem-solving skill and intelligence; but that doesn't mean no other profession has smart people. I'd imagine lots of other professions have a similar bar to pass, and even ones with lower bars to pass to succeed in that profession probably still have their prodigies and geniuses.

I know that this is an unpopular opinion among programmers but all professions have roles that range from small skills sets and little cognitive abilities to large skill sets and high level cognitive abilities.

I am kind of surprised that is an unpopular opinion. I figure there is a reason we compensate people for jobs. Pay people to do stuff you cannot, or do not have the time to do, yourself. And for almost every job there is probably something that is way harder than it looks from the outside. I am not the most worldly of people but I've figured that out by just trying different skills and existing.

I really wish this existed for other languages. Python is really Not It for me. Maybe this book will change my mind. I have heard about it a lot. Either way, thanks for the rec!

Got that on Programmer Humor last year! Finding that kind of unintentional message is always funny

My heart breaks for cool ideas that got taken by scammers and are now forever associated with financial predators and will probably never see legitimate use.

I'd imagine that you graduate high school at 18 and choose to go to college for the next 4, meaning you graduate as a 22-year old. Add or subtract a year for birthdays that align oddly with the academic year.
