@siracusa The long developing plan to get someone on the inside to take care of those decades of Radars is finally coming to fruition…
@samspurlin @siracusa Step 1: Get married and have a child...
-
@siracusa is he looking for an iOS position? My company has openings.
@rwitherspoon I'm not sure he has the "2+ years" experience you're looking for, but I'll point him to your careers page.
-
@tba He keeps applying to open positions, but he never hears back! (For all I know, he's already applied to this one, but I'll ask.)

I tried to introduce my son, Alex, to programming when he was young. He wasn’t interested. But he eventually found his way to it on his own. By the time Alex graduated high school, he had put his first app into the App Store.
Now, after 4 years at WPI, Alex has a BS in Computer Science and a Master’s in Data Science, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA. (Yes, he received the maximum possible grade in every undergraduate and graduate class he took in all 4 years!)
We are immensely proud of him!
️@siracusa congrats to Alex and to his parents, who seem to have raised a good one!

@siracusa Congrats! So how long until he starts a podcast?
@chrisdejabet @siracusa i think he has to go through his blogging and macOS review phases first.

️Also on my mind: my son may be part of the last generation of programmers to have learned to program in the days before LLMs.

️@siracusa Congrats to him and your family!
Really interesting time to be diving into the field. Spent most of my programming career in DC/Gov't consulting arena. Not flashy but pretty stable at least until recently. There will be a lot of clean up to do in a few years me thinks.

️@siracusa Incredible achievements
Get that man a Mac Pro! Ah damn, nvm.

@siracusa My son graduates tomorrow with double major in CS and Math and half way through a master in data science.
I have had this same last generation thought.

@siracusa talked to a friend’s kid last weekend who is in his second year of CS, asked him his take and he said “we’re all just studying security super hard as that seems likely to be the last thing to go”, which struck me as pretty insightful for 19.

@siracusa I think you mean the “last generation of aspiring programmers”
