A couple of days ago, I made a post on /c/technology, asking if you guys would be down to help build a "Chapo Learn2Code project". The response to this post was huge, and we quickly managed to put together a small team to start building this project. We're now back for some more formal recruitment!

First off: please let us know in the comment section if you would potentially be interested in attending a CS/opsec/tech class taught by a fellow chapo. We would also like to know what kind stuff you're interested in and would like to be learning with this project. The original post had some great ideas, but there's definitely room for more!

If you would like to help building this project, as a teacher, a helper, organizer, or resource gatherer, please DM me, you're more than welcome aboard.

Someone (Im sorry i forgot your name, please manifest yourself so I can congratulate you for having a cool idea) also mentioned a potential megathread on /c/technology where folks would post tech related questions, and other chapos would help them. This also sounds like a very good idea, so let us know what you think of that as well.

Finally, if you got any other input of any kind, we would also be more than glad to hear them!

Edit: Holy shit twenty three notifications lol. I'll come back to you after I get through my day, which should be not too late through your day you bunch of yankees.

      I mean, it depends on what you want to do. What do you want to do? Program? Server/Systems Admin? Help-Desk (help people/reset passwords?)

      The adage "nothing new under the sun," applies even in tech. But startups are the worst. Not because of the adage, but because there is no "job security" there.

      A fulfilling life? That's quite a question. I'm currently writing code for what is essentially an e-commerce/marketing company. The company mission means nothing to me at all, but designing and writing good software does. I get satisfaction from doing my job well like most other people do, even though I have no real interest in the final product. I ultimately would prefer to make games for a living, but that's far from likely.

        Pretty much this, except from an ops perspective. I give absolutely zero shits about my company's product, but I'm never touching any of it anyway and the company is about as non-exploitative as you're going to get under capitalism, and the work itself is rewarding and pays well. I'd much rather be putting my effort towards solving actual problems, but for now I'll just do praxis in my free time.
