“We have zero concerns that anything is happening volcanically,” Stovall said, adding that there hasn’t been a Yellowstone supervolcano eruption in more than 600,000 years. “There’s been geysers erupting through that whole time and that doesn’t mean that anything is happening with magma underground.”

9 Traits of Successful Programmers That Kids Can Develop Now

Posted by in category: futurism

I don’t have kids. But there are lots of kids in my life. I’ve also worked closely with thousands of entry-level developers over the course of my 20 years in tech.
