What should a Biden White House do to help unemployed retail workers? Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has an idea: they should simply become highly-paid tech workers. Emanuel was obliterated online for his comments.

If everyone learns to code, coding will not be a high-paying career anymore. Also many people can't code, because it is too detail-oriented. If one line of code has a typo, it doesn't work. Some coding also requires advanced math skills. Really not well thought out at all. But what more can we expect from the establishment?

    I’d focus on just understand the algorithms vs actually getting it perfect in Java. It’s a very “opinionated” language and very much a product of the late 90s. OOP has been going out of style now for years in favor for functional programming and even in Languages that you can declare and build objects in like Python it’s so much easier/without all the extra junk in Java.

    I assume this is for a CS degree? If you can I’d try to pickup a more functional language like JavaScript, Scala or even something Lisp related and implement the same algorithms.
