I thought this story about a programmer and a GenAI to be rather humorous. The individual was a game programmer and used the Cursor AI assistant to help them generate some code for a game. After a few hundred lines of code, the AI delivered this: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly." That response makes me actually smile to myself and chuckle out loud. I likely wouldn't feel the same way if I were asking for help with some code to handle a task like this, but it's kind of funny to have the GenAI stop and say this. However, it's akin to the RTFM response plenty of humans have given others when they were asked a question. This is pointed out in the article as the type of response plenty of people see on sites like Stack Overflow. Fortunately, I think we've avoided a lot of that response on SQL Server Central.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore how Felienne Hermans, creator of the Hedy platform, is reshaping programming education for the next generation. Hedy is an open-source, free platform designed to help children aged 10 and above learn textual programming across multiple languages. With an impressive 500,000 monthly users and translations into 49 languages—including Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish—Hedy is not only accessible but also adaptable to diverse learning environments. Felienne, a professor of computer science education at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a high-school teacher in the Codasium program, brings a unique perspective on how we need to radically rethink programming education. She shares the inspiration behind Hedy's development, highlighting how the platform breaks away from traditional teaching models by offering step-by-step, relatable exercises that engage students in a meaningful way. From stories and drawings to music, Hedy's approach goes far beyond the typical abstract exercises found in traditional programming lessons. Felienne also dives into the important role that native languages and culture play in fostering stronger connections between young learners and programming. By allowing students to code in their native languages, Hedy is promoting inclusivity and engagement, making technology feel more relevant and attainable. In this conversation, we explore why it's crucial for parents and educators to introduce children to coding early, and how tools like Hedy can help them do so in a way that's both enjoyable and effective. Felienne also shares her top tips for teaching children to code, offering insights from her own journey as both an educator and a developer. We discuss how to cultivate curiosity in young learners, why programming skills are essential for the future workforce, and how platforms like Hedy are preparing students for the future of technology. What do you think the future holds for programming education? Could tools like Hedy spark a global movement in coding literacy? Listen in and share your thoughts!
Today, we're diving into a topic that might ruffle some feathers: the traditional developer portfolio. It's time to rethink what we've been told about showcasing our skills. I've got Derek Wood with me, a seasoned web developer and director at Perpetual Education, who believes the typical developer portfolio just doesn't cut it anymore. We'll explore why the old patterns don't work and how you can create a more personalized and impactful portfolio that really tells your story and makes you stand out. Let's get into it and discover how you can showcase your true potential in a way that catches employers' eyes.Derek Wood (guest):Website - https://sheriffderek.consulting---------------------------------------------------Disclaimer: The following may contain product affiliate links.

Whenever aspiring developers hear that they need to "network", it tends to illicit thoughts of stuffy networking events and social anxiety. I think people just over-complicate what networking really is about. It's just about building meaningful relationships with someone else you vibe with on some level.

I answered an aspiring developer's question:"In late 2022, I decided to get into SE to become a front end dev and decided to join an in-person bootcamp in 2023 to accelerate my learning. Choosing the bootcamp route over traditional schooling seemed like a quicker path into the field, especially since I'd already been self-studying beforehand. While the bootcamp experience was great, it left me feeling underprepared in key areas like Javascript, with the curriculum heavily focused on React. I earned a certificate and made my portfolio site to host my projects, but landing my first job has proven to be an uphill battle. I've been applying weekly for about 8 months now, even to listings I wasn't ‘qualified' for due to needing “”x amount of years of experience”” for entry level positions. I've spent the past half year studying Javascript to make up for the lack of JS in my bootcamp, and am still submitting applications almost daily. The 8 months and counting pursuit of an entry-level position across various job titles—front end dev, graphic design, UI engineer etc—has resulted in less than a dozen rejections, which at this point, I'm looking forward to since it's better than hearing nothing at all. Soon, I won't be able to hold out financially, and I'll have to find a full time job and inevitably run out of time in my personal life to code at all which is frustrating and heartbreaking, since I've grown to love coding, especially designing and building components and sites. TLDR; I'm just trying to get into my first position. I don't care if it's writing HTML or CSS, hell at this point, I'll do coffee runs for developers if it means I can actually get into a company. It has probably never been a worse time to get into software engineering, and I find myself actively telling younger family members who ask about it to go for something ‘more stable' when ironically, was the sentiment I received when inquiring about software engineering.. This WAS the ‘stable' career, until it wasn't. I'm desperate for any advice on what to do at this point, maybe even going back to school if it betters my chances!"---------------------------------------------------
Answering Mark's question:"Biggest roadblock is just getting people to talk to me. Almost straight out of bootcamp I landed a junior software engineering role at a small digital product studio. Worked there for 9 months before getting laid off. But now amidst all the layoffs I'm small, tiny fish in an enormous pond. Despite applying to 400+ places (almost anything I'm remotely qualified for) over the past 8 months. I've had one, a single, 10 minute phone interview. So the biggest hurdle is how to find and land that next role or even get someone to talk to!! Despite all this I continue to work on “pet” projects, continue to grow my learning and have managed to land a freelance development gig! Keep on keepin' on. It'll happen!!"---------------------------------------------------

When it comes to breaking into the tech industry, there's a labyrinth of myths and misconceptions about what it really takes to be job-ready as a developer. In this eye-opening podcast episode, Derek, a seasoned web developer and educator known as Sheriff Derek, debunks these myths and offers a candid look at the essentials of tech education and the reality of coding bootcamps.Derek begins by addressing the widening skills gap among aspiring developers. He's seen first-hand the false expectations and underdeveloped skills of those entering the market. The allure of high-paying jobs post-bootcamp has overshadowed the passion and commitment required to truly excel in web development. He expresses concern that many are not prepared for the realities of the job market, which now demands more due to the influx of developers spurred by the pandemic.In the next segment, the conversation shifts to the effectiveness of coding bootcamps in preparing candidates for the tech industry. Derek stresses the importance of foundational knowledge in HTML and CSS, arguing that a robust understanding of these technologies is critical given their universal application across the web. He highlights that there is a diversity of jobs within tech, suggesting that a broader preparation could prevent disillusionment and career stagnation for those not suited for traditional software engineer roles.Derek then critiques the coding bootcamp model for often rushing into advanced coding concepts without a solid foundation in the basics. He emphasizes the importance of understanding foundational elements before moving on to more complex tools. This approach is not only essential for mastering web development but also for adapting to the evolving landscape of technologies and frameworks.Further into the discussion, Derek talks about the challenges coding bootcamps and self-taught developers face in fostering the necessary curiosity and drive. He argues that beyond following a curriculum, developers must experiment hands-on and cultivate a genuine interest in technology to succeed. The tech industry offers vast opportunities for those who are willing to explore and innovate.The episode also touches on the value of mentorship and immersive learning environments. Derek warns against superficially navigating through computer science programs without true engagement and learning. He compares traditional computer science degrees with coding bootcamps, noting the varied outcomes and opportunities each path presents.Lastly, Derek examines the trend of developers gravitating towards frameworks that allow for rapid development, often at the expense of essential skills. He calls for empathy for beginners and underscores the importance of understanding the building blocks of web development. This understanding is key to true problem-solving and long-term success.Sheriff Derek (guest):Program - https://perpetual.educationWebsite - The Neil Ashton PodcastThis podcast focuses on explaining the fascinating ways that science and engineering...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify---------------------------------------------------

Why we're awe-struck by Google, and NVIDIA's CEO says no one needs to learn how to code anymore.
The media is IMPLODING. Yet somehow journalists were still blindsided. And now they're lamenting how they can't make a living as freelance journalists anymore. But on the plus side, they're getting FREE TACOS! Maybe it's time to learn to code? Like, for real? ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 ➡️ Gaming News: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A7VIqE3r5MQkFgL9nifNc Additional Context: With the rise of digital platforms, the advertising revenue that once fueled newspapers, magazines, and even some online outlets has dwindled. This shift has led to layoffs, closures, and a general sense of unease among journalists. The game has changed, and not everyone is keeping up. Then there's the part about journalists being blindsided. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek because, well, it's their job to see things coming. Yet, the rapid pace of change in media consumption habits, coupled with the advent of algorithms and social media platforms that prioritize clicks over quality, has caught many off guard. The result? A growing number of journalists are finding themselves freelancing—not by choice, but by necessity. The gig economy beckons, but it's not all bylines and glory. The instability, lack of benefits, and constant hustle for the next assignment can take its toll. Lastly, the "learn to code" advice. This phrase became a meme a few years back, used both earnestly and sarcastically in response to journalists facing unemployment due to industry changes. It suggests that those affected by the media's upheaval should pivot to tech, a sector that's seen as more stable and lucrative. While it's not bad advice per se—tech skills are indeed in demand—it oversimplifies the challenge of career transition and undervalues the skills and passion that journalists bring to their work. So, what's the takeaway here? The media landscape is evolving, and with it, the roles and expectations of journalists. While some lament the loss of traditional media's heyday, others are adapting, learning new skills (coding or otherwise), and finding ways to thrive. And hey, if you can snag some free tacos along the way, more power to you. Just don't forget to tweet about it; after all, content is king.

It is time to reveal the top episode for 2023! This episode is a rebroadcast that was specially recorded for women all over the world who desire to become computer programmers of any kind. As of today, only 28.7% of people in Software Development are women. That must change. One of the reasons that percentage is so low is because many women lack the confidence needed to take on this role. So, in today's episode, I layout the framework on how women can confidently learn to code, especially if they are in a non-technical career.
