FYI, I cross posted your question to three Programming.dev communities:

Fintech can take on the high stress culture of the financial world where you’re expected to just accept that money will make up for the ever increasing pressure to work more and harder to “win”. There’s a reason Wall Street is infamously known for cocaine

All that to say, I think your approach is better than what’s being suggested by others here.

Kevin Powell has quality front end material. Jack Herrington has quality general and backend material for JavaScript and Typescript.

I’d suggest App Academy Open or The Odin Project to get both instruction on the basics and practice projects to work through.

Any YouTube channel is insufficient. You need to practice.

In his Telegram post today, Durov — borrowing some of the more “high-level” language that other social media executives have used — said that “Telegram’s moderators and AI tools remove millions of obviously harmful content from our public platform,” but he also swiftly moved on to defending the app continuing to allow sensitive content under the category of “war-related coverage.”

“Tackling war-related coverage is seldom obvious.” (He does not define what the line is between “obviously harmful” and “war-related coverage.”)

“While it would be easy for us to destroy this source of information, doing so risks exacerbating an already dire situation,” he continued, citing how, he said, Hamas used Telegram to warn civilians in Ashkelon to leave the area ahead of missile strikes. “Would shutting down their channel help save lives — or would it endanger more lives?” he asked in his post today.

All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares.

Have you looked into Jitsi?

I’m sure there are chat rooms on Matrix you could join. There’s also https://programming.dev/c/android_dev

It’s not what I would have bet on, that’s for sure.

I certainly don’t like the Raddle community’s reaction to this, however Beehaw’s community has shown somewhat similar reactions to certain topics that have come up. Having some reactionary drama seems unavoidable in any social group. That said, the software that Raddle runs on is pretty sleek. Seems to rival Tildes in quality for a link aggregation and forum software. But it’s inability to federate makes it fundamentally different from lemmy.

I agree, Jerboa should not have been updated.

Julia was interesting, I worked through a tutorial using Pluto and it seemed nicely designed.

Have you had Odin on your radar as a C++ replacement?

Have you looked at Kaggle’s learning resources for machine learning?

I’m not sure what good it could do in the US but I’m happy it helps you, assuming you’re using it in an ethically sound manner.

I used to use DownThemAll way back, but I’m not sure what I’d use it for now. What are you downloading?

uBlacklist seems like it could be very useful.

You’re well entrenched in the MS ecosystem. I hear that it can be very nice.
