that seems like a pretty sweet plan, go for it.
What do you wish you'd done differently in life? What are you glad to have done?

it only takes a year to learn programming and get a high earning job afterwards?

The settler colonies benefit (or are cursed by) the clean break, the forced collective amnesia, a blank slate on which they can paint and program new identities. wipe away the ancient nobbly intricate patterns, hues of brown and green and paint people in a more clear and vivid and simple way

I had a friend recently do this. Went to one of those programming boot camps, said it was the hardest thing he's ever done though.

I've seen it up close cos my mum and her side of the family are colonials it's so interesting. You know they all work hard? Whatever the job they just get on with it. There's no drag and resistance between boss and employer. They feel like they're on the same team.

Yeah. You gotta get a good program, most are 3-12 months. Depends how long they hold your hand. Mine was 3 months intensive learning: 100+ hour weeks. It was like uni finals week for an entire semester. One of the tougher things I've done, yeah.

there are 6-12 month programs! Mine was the fastest-paced on the market.

A month preparation, a month admissions, a month of pre-course learning, 3 months of the course, then a 3 month job search.
Had a friend who did a 6-monther, I think he did maybe 3 months up front, 6 months of classes, and then a 3 month search as well, so it only functionally ended up taking slightly longer

Young americans just feel like more clever more programmable people, a new race. It's what constant escape is getting at. Luka was asking me what we should do with you all, it does seem like we could tweak your settings, set targets and you would just go and make stuff for us, far beyond what we would achieve alone. are you up for it?

It's funny, I started a "programming for scientists" course as an undergraduate, and left it halfway through the term because I just did not get it at all. What was dispiriting was that some of the people on it had obviously been programming for fun since they were 10 or so, and it was all piss-easy to them. In fact I think some people didn't come to a single lecture and still got nearly 100% on the exam. Whereas, with the possible exception of a literal von Neumann-level genius, you don't see that in, say, the quantum mechanics classes.
To this day, I can cope with 'if' statements, 'for' and 'while' loops, and the basic types of variable, but as soon as it gets all 'private' this and 'public' that, I break out in a cold sweat. I just haven't got that sort of mind. My brother, on the other hand, has found this sort of thing totally intuitive since he was 13 or something, and has made a very good living out of without ever going near a university.

Whatever it is, you'll need the Chinese to actually implement it.

Me and Woops were talking about them in awe when they first turned up, like they were a new generation of artificial intelligence androids
