    I’ve grown to hate these routers. They only seem useful if you live in an apartment and place them in the middle and your walls are made of paper. Bought a few through the years thinking more money = better wifi, but wall construction and placement have much more impact. Living in a brick house, they’re pretty shit. I’ve switched to non gamified wifi AP’s connected to ethernet and the wifi’s been great. Still prioritize wired wherever possible though.









  • If you’re in the position to do so: try getting a job as a software developer for a year before going to college. If you’re able to demonstrate you’ve already worked on your own projects, you will be taken more seriously than cs majors fresh out of college who’ve only seen code in home work assignments. Do this to get to see how software development works as a career and see if you fit in it.
    You don’t generally need a degree to be a programmer and in this field, experience is often more valuable than a degree. What college can offer is connections and the opportunity to find your actual calling.
