Today Quincy Larson interviews Jessica Rose. She's a dev and teacher who's worked on open data projects at Mozilla and lots of open source projects. We talk about: - How the whole world is hard, and how embracing that difficulty rather than avoiding it can make you a better thinker - The Bad Website club, a free online bootcamp where people learn front end development together that starts this April - Why building "silly little things" is one of the best things you can do as a learner Links from our discussion: - Bad Website Club announcement: - Study Jess mentions about AI and worker productivity: Community news section: 1. freeCodeCamp just published a new Python course that will teach you how to program your own aerial drone. You don't need to own a drone. You'll use the PySimverse simulator to practice autonomous flight. First you'll learn the basics of drone components, 3D movement, and common computer vision tasks. Then you'll learn about navigation, image capture, hand gesture control, autonomous following, and more. (2 hour YouTube course): 2. freeCodeCamp also published a massive course that will teach you how to program NVIDIA's H100 GPUs using CUDA.
