I tried to introduce my son, Alex, to programming when he was young.
-
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 The boy, mine (15) is no llm for the moment.

Apple folks: Alex has been applying to open positions at Apple, and he is willing relocate to California. But so far, he hasn’t gotten any sort of response. If you want a smart, dedicated developer who’s a fast learner, please check out his resume, which is already in your system!

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 Congratulations. And if anything goes wrong he’ll always have his tennis to fall back on.

Congratulations!

@siracusa is he interested in a data science career? It’s all the fun of programming & the fun of statistics combined & very trendy with the AI/LLM people.
(I’m not hiring sadly and I also live in Ireland, but it’s worth checking out - Apple are hiring like mad as well in that area, maybe he can fix Siri ) -

@siracusa Congrats to Alex!!
I’ve been thinking the same thing about myself having also just graduated in CS. It has been an adventure watching classes start to adjust. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how newer programmers skills differ from my own. I sure hope that I didn’t just miss an important shift in CS education. -

️@siracusa Congratulations! My absolute favorite college to do a show. Their “Lens And Lights” club were better crew than most professional house crews.

️@siracusa Got a photo with the special master’s sleeves on display?
Congrats to the graduate for his achievement, and to the parents for all their support!
