    There are two bad arguments that make up the entire “liberal arts vs STEM” debate: 1. The idea that you have to for some reason choose one or the other. 2. The notion that you can only learn “The Liberal Arts” in the walls of a four year university.

    As a liberal arts grad, I agree 100%. Yet I am also aware of the “career imperative”. Curious to know what might think about the intersection of liberal arts and coding...? Specifically musing on the ethics challenge in Silicon Valley.

    That was the most boring, excruciating evening I’ve had in months. On the plus side, the gov’t is returning me $3.5k that they owe me. (You’re welcome for the loan, Sam)

    I’m pretty sure the boring-ness and rote-ness of school is what makes kids procrastinate. I thought I had overcome procrastination until tax season poked a hole in my theory Insight Brought To You By “Just Finished My Taxes 2 Hours Before the Deadline”

    One time a Mexican man approached me at Powell Street Station, asked me bootcamp questions, and then had more questions so he asked if he could walk me to my destination, asking q's all the way. (tbh, I recommended he check out Lambda School...don't tell my former bootcamp...)
