I try to minimize the amount of personal info I share. Hacker News community is smart people, and my thread history is triangulation data.
Wouldn’t say I’m a particularly proud alum. They dropped the ball on a wide swath of other topics that I would consider integral. For instance, distributed computing should be a more common undergrad elective, not something you get blindsided by when you get out of school. “Sorry, you said Who-bernetes?” Now, I get that Kubernetes is a relatively young project, as is Docker and other containerization tech, but it is nonetheless staggering how school felt like it was 10 years behind the ‘cutting edge’ when I was there. They seemingly had no interest in educating engineers to go out and join the web community unless that individual sought self-guided study.
