Best Linux distro for NodeJS back end projects? Maybe I have to work with docker or VMs. I currently have Ubuntu Mate but I want to change. I have 8Gb of RAM and performance is what I need.

2nd Question with low priority: is anyone able to use office 365 without the online solution in any Linux distro?

Heyy ranters! I'm starting a junior job in my country and I wanted to know what is your average payroll for a junior position in your country?

Brothers and sisters... Some of you know this frustrating argument that I'm going to present you and please... please talk with me about this rant and how to get over this...

I'm a boy that finished a scientific bachelor degree and a master degree that didn't help me to find a job, I've tried every day for a year and was literally scammed two times by two companies. I hit rock bottom but didn't give up and decided to take another degree... In computer science. I'm a year short to end my bachelor's degree and I'm really happy of what I'm doing... But when I try to talk about that with my friends, about what I've learned and what I can do... They simply respond with "you can do that by just watching some YouTube videos, I can build an app/website/software just that easy"...and I argue with them by saying that you can build some of it but not with the complete fundamentals and with the real business patterns and development...
The worst part is... Some of my friends are computer scientist and they agree with this... "You don't need high grades or a degree to be on the market and build this stuff, you can't even imagine how bad programmers are there in this world working with high salaries"...

This is frustrating because they are just losing all the fundamentals... The need to know what we are doing while we are coding instead of just looking an example on YouTube and thinking that now they know it all...

These are the kind of people that can create apps or other kind of software with bugs or security breaches... And they dont care... They prefer to lower my all night study to be the most professional person I can be. I don't want to create anything just because "it's how the man/woman said in the video"...

This really suck. I'm really sorry to rant with such a basic commentary. But the discussion was heated... They prefer a person with internet without any knowledge in computer science over a computer scientist that must create an application without any help...

It saddens me because I believe we can be self learners and be successful, but having the help of experienced professionals to certificate you and give you a diploma for your ability to build projects is a must to initiate the journey to become the best developer/programmer you can be...

Thank you in advance rant friends, you are the best

College student here! Starting to learn java, best ide to use?

The moment of truth on wanting to be a programmer or not... Is when you learn about pointers in c language.

Well I'm a first year student in computer science and in the first semester we started to learn C language and the IDE they told us to use for better learning was Devcpp.
We made a few small projects and all went well, but now in the second semester we started to make bigger projects with linked lists and memory allocation and Devcpp starts to be a complete bug itself... We are working hard in the project and after saving the project with no errors at all, at the next day, Devcpp starts to make any function we made invalid...
So we spoke to the same teacher about this and asked what can we do about it....
"Are you using Devcpp? You shouldn't, it is not that good for C"...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
