I don't have any advice as am in a similar predicament albeit I'd consider myself less mature (25M just finished uni) and have mild Aspergers/ADHD
Anyways my dad died abt 6 yrs ago. At the time of his death our financial situation was already dire. We had sold our house for roughly 70,000$. 20,000$ was used to pay off loans that had accrued a lot of interest as my dad had lost his job and my mother had no source of income.
My mother decided to put the remaining 50,000$ into a shady sacco that promised significant monthly returns. I was obviously skeptical and vehemently opposed this as it was a good chunk of our net worth. The sacco's leader stole all the money (no surprise). His religious fascade is what made people trust him the most including mom. I was 17 at the time.
Everything just started to fall apart. We got evicted 2 yrs later and moved in to a small 2 bedroom apartment (which we reside in to this day). My dad died of a suspected heart condition (similar to yours) but inherited some lands from my grandfather.
We managed to sell them over the yrs (for sustenance, rent, 2 siblings school fees and my college tuition) but we've finally exhausted any wealth we had. I still sleep on the couch or mattress (both equally uncomfortable) as the place isn't big enough for all of us. It's taken a toll on my back and neck. Am always sore even though am just 25!
I just graduated. I'm about to start earning some good money and also bootstrap my start up. I'll afford to have my own place and honestly feels unreal. I finally have a chance to be on my own, buy food when I'm hungry e.t.c.
My mom is still unemployed. My sister has recently started having psychiatric issues and struggling to find work (stress and suspected bipolar). My brother (15M) is very obstinate with regards to his academics despite my constant effort to explain our current financial situation.
I'm going to leave the moment I get my salary. I feel like a portal to freedom just spawned. Definitely will support my mom but not to the point I end up dirt broke again. I don't want the burden of responsibility if I'm being frank but also don't want to abandon anyone.
Life is about to change but isn't it always. I just wrote this to let you know you're not alone. I won't sacrifice myself and happiness but then again I don't expect you to ape me as I am not giving advice. Seeing someone going through a similar situation is oddly comforting.
Just graduated from pharm school but self-taught in tech
- Digital Marketing (To grow my start up. Realized I need to know how to sell rather than just build)
- Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (I find it very fascinating to try and uncover how life works)
- Math (Feel like I didn't really get a hang of math early on but now realize how important and fun it can be. Currently reading A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics)
- Machine learning & AI (Huge potential in drug discovery)
- Computer Aided Drug Discovery (Did a dissertation on this and loved it)
- Deep dive into Genomics and Genetic Engineering (I find genetics to be very similar to coding)
- Aging and Longevity research (I'm 25 but still see aging as a disease ever since I turned 18. It's why I chose to do a medical related undergraduate course. Hopefully we can better understand how aging works, and how to stop/delay it)
- C, C++, Python and R (For writing bioinformatics tools)
- Computer graphics and game development (This is a bit of a stretch. Hopefully I can manage. I find graphics and game programming to be one of coolest uses of math. Seeing stuff I used to dread like trigonometry actually being of use gives me a reason to learn them)
- Playing an instrument, maybe guitar and getting good at FL Studio (Music is fun)
- How stocks work (Trying my luck at financial independence plus the regards of WSB intrigue me)
Strongly disagree. Both frameworks save on dev time to a very significant degree. I actually foresee better cross platform solutions being introduced in 5 years
I don't agree, and I have worked with this significantly as a consultant and core contributor to react-native. What typically happens is people convince themselves what you are saying is true then there ends up being huge delays to spin up all the infra app side... THEN eventually, they kinda are okay. until the next react-native release.
edit: would like to clarify that of course I would recommend better ways... but... clients do as clients do.
You are looking at this with hindsight bias and are assuming that for some reason the future will remain the same as the past. There are no fundamental reasons why ios and android development occur with two different ui frameworks in two different languages.
With low interest rates companies will not be able to justify paying 3x to maintain 3 different apps when they could theoretically just pay 1x for one app that works everywhere
The key word here is “theoretically”. These cross platform solutions are great in theory - who wouldn’t want to share code across all platforms? It’s a great sell, especially to the folks holding the purse.
The reality though is it doesn’t work well. The tooling, performance, debugging, library stability and observability are all substantially worse. Your team might save a ton of time spinning up a React Native app, but lose it all right back once you keep hitting gnarly Android performance issues.
In the future, once we have a proper cross platform development kit officially supported by Android and Apple, code sharing will be great. But today it doesn’t exist. And that’s why none of (the good) apps you use are written in a cross platform way.
Good metrics for proposal to VCs .. to steel the cake from native platform overlord. Lets eat the apple and google cake to boost our return margins. Bam! VCs alliance for new scene graph renderer for the web on any device.
Alzheimer's patients tend to have CAA (Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy) where beta amyloid plaques replace the smooth muscle of blood vessels in the brain. Since the drug (lecanemab) works by removing these plaques, damage to the affected blood vessels results in inflammation, swelling, hemorrhage and eventually death.
