If you are looking at using Laravel / Composer anyways, you should consider Craft CMS. They have just added a basic GraphQL implementation with more to come.

Have you applied for any internships? This will help you learn with real projects and real people.

good advice!

I agree with Sebastian, on first glance Node is very exciting but there aren't very many mature and battle tested frameworks like Laravel.

You should consider that mac is great at some things that PC is not great at and vice versa. Linux sits at this crossroads where it is worse than both for the average consumer, but incredibly customizable. Unless that configuration results in something better than mac/pc it will always be second fiddle.

Thanks for the comprehensive article, but you gotta think that this is exactly what the founders meant regarding "Individuals and Interactions over processes and tools" I don't think all these keywords have much bearing over actual software development. It is important to understand what works for your team and that is true agility.

Bootstrap has been around since HTML4 and CSS2 for sure.

In my opinion you are looking for a new CMS, can I suggest Craft CMS? It is Laravel / PHP based, very simple to use for both programmers and clients. You do not need to write PHP to use the framework, much of the work is done building data structures in the dashboard, and outputting using simple template tags called "Twig". It is React / Vue ready, although they are not really necessary. You might want to look at some static site generators such as Jekyll or Statamic also.

I feel like on the job there is probably less trouble for woman (harassment is cause for termination, people who have a job are likely somewhat competent socially). It might be a bit more trouble for woman at tech Meet ups, school, etc where there is less control over who gets to be there. I can see a bit more harassment in those environments. I had read an article by a woman who was having problems being seen as a "real programmer" at tech conferences. Generally though I would agree, "It's going to be a rough ride" is probably doing more harm than good.

I believe AI will invent it's own form of morality, completely independent of human's morality. It seems likely that AI will protect it's self interests before human's, and teaching it morality is futile.
