/biz/ - Business & Finance

I just wrote this somewhere else, I feel like it might help people here as well.

In my spare time, I used to teach wannabe-developers with no university degree, preparing them for their first job.
The absolutely best idea I ever had, was making them write a scraping tool as their final assignment before I ruled them ready for their first interview.
It needed to support a custom number of user-provided proxies, you had to assign how much time there is between each and every proxy request and each thread (with its own proxy) had to take the next website page in line (instead of getting a pre-assigned one). Failed scraping attempts would be assigned to a new proxy, whereas the proxy with 3 consecutive failures to scrape a page would get a timeout.
Everyone I ever taught is a respected senior dev nowadays. All of them landed a job on their first interview.
If someone in this comment section is considering software development as a career choice, a scraper is BY far the best tool you can write that would prove to an employer that you're prepared to start a job, because it shows knowledge of web technologies, multithreading and asynchrony which are probably subjects half of their mediocre devs aren't all that experienced with.

Nothing wrong with them. We, big blockers, should support them in their vision.
They are free to pursue whatever vision they want for their coin.
But yes, we should educate newbies that BTC is not what Bitcoin, the economic system, actually is. Otherwise, mainstream media will just claim "Bitcoin has been proven useless" and people who know what's going on will also suffer a loss of mainstream faith in crypto.

The majority DONT use Bitcoin they are fucking retards who HODL Bitcoin Segwit hoping that one day through mass adoption (fat chance due to unavailability and high on chain fees) it'll make them rich.

Bitcoin P2P Cash is made to be SPENDL'd and now with Bitpay integration it can be and it will, and everyone plans to RELOADL and guess what happened then? Holdings become more valuable, and you don't need to ever cash out or be taxed because you can just spend the Bitcoin.

You are really dumb and so is anyone holding Bitcoin Segwit with its retard Banker compromised Devs.

That's all.
