This was really amazing. Thanks for sharing the videos

@Drexluddin Khan Spiveyzai What kind of developer are you?

One must create time for things one is passionate about

If you only knew.

I am a learning junkie (if that's a word). I love learning about most stuff there is to learn about. I prefer practical stuff that I can use in real life but all knowledge is good knowledge. Unfortunately, it's been very hard since after I finished my studies and started working. No time for dedicating myself to anything. Used to play games and read a lot of books. Not anymore. Looking forward to retirement so I can finally bust open some books and some games, because it ain't happening any time soon

@Drexluddin Khan Spiveyzai What kind of developer are you?

Web. Did some PHP work when I started out. Bit of wordpress (found it insanely hard), some CodeIgnitor. Been doing shopify for some 2 years now. Planning to get some proper skills under my belt, like React but can never commit due to work. I've started learning it 4 times during the last 1.5 years but couldn't continue every single time.

It's hard when you are doing one thing for a living and learning another on the side. If I got a menial job working in React today, I'd learn it fast, but I happen to like the money I am making with Shopify.

That's how I grew up (literally). Me and my only love, my PC.

@_NOBODY_ , what about yourself?

You're telling me the Mayans, Aztecs and Inca people sounds Age of Empires sounds were fake?

My childhood was a lie.

Okay. WAY too many people got that reference than I was expecting. Where were you all during my childhood. I could never find someone who played Age of Empires. It's was all Vice City this, Vice City that.

One must create time for things one is passionate about. Plus, I wish to pursue data science so it is essential to know other fields so I can use data science in those fields. Data Science can be used in fields such as history, archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, ethnology etc. However, at the moment, I have little to no interest in using data science in these fields.

The evolution of languages is not an area that I pay a lot of attention to so it would be inappropriate for me to comment on that. Perhaps @ThunderCat can shed some light on this topic.

I can confirm that proto-Eurasian or "proto-Indo-European" reconstructed has numerals common to most languages.

These reconstructions are based on data of languages traced backwards. This is hypothetical and not like archeology where human bones and artifacts can be salvaged?

What if another Eurasian language is discovered, like in the case of Tocharian and the parent language's status changes.

But as someone who has studied Deustche/German, try these comparisons:

Pre-modern English: What is thy name?
Modern German: Vas ist die nom?

Pre-modern English: What hath thou said?
Modern German: Vaas haas du gizaght?

Pre-modern English: Can thee speak English?
Modern German: Kaan zee sprechen Duestche?

Parsi/Persian: Moder
German: Mutter
English: Mother.

Parsi/Persian: Broder
German: Brutter
English: Brother

English: eight, nine, ten
German: Aaght, noin, tense
Lashkari: Aat, knaw, thus

No wonder your soul has been devoured.

No wonder your soul has been devoured.

Well that was a brief encounter. I have all but forgotten PHP. I work with JS primarily now. Make of that what you will.

One of these days, I might just stumble on a doomsday device the creator of JS left in there. This language is a meme.

On that note, I'd like to share something from my prized collection of r/programmerhumor (if you haven't seen r/programmerhumor, you haven't lived. It's like Lahore, but for programmers)

Before thinking about picking up skills, ask yourself what you want to do in life and why you want to do it. Try exploring the in-demand and upcoming technologies; additionally, make sure to observe the trends in the industry. After doing more than half a year's worth of research I decided to pursue data science and AI.

No one size fits all. One must be cognitively predisposed toward a certain type of work/business/job profile in order to truly realize their potential. One may excel beyond all expectations in area A but be totally out of sorts in area B of whatever blah.

If you don't like web development then ditch it. There are so many other fields in CS. Have you explored AI, Data Science and cybersecurity? By the way, there are so many new things happening in the web development scene. I discovered Elixir today. Apparently, it is a dynamic, functional programming language, is designed for building scalable and maintainable applications with a simple, modern, and tidy syntax.

Virus mian is right here. I actually like electrical stuff a lot, thought I hated studying physics so I went with ICS (Statistics) in College. There's a difference between studying and learning. I absolutely enjoyed learning about physics and even mathematics. But studying for exams put me off of physics.

As for coding. I am kinda good at coding and I like it. But, I didn't find my calling, it found me. I was looking for a job during my studies and someone told me to do PHP and I started PHP. Otherwise I prolly would have kept playing video games and not have any marketable skill today, and be a total loser today as opposed to semi-loser like now. I am a Lakeer ka fakeer type banda. Dumb as a brick. If I had a creative thought in my head, it would die of loneliness.

Exactly, no offence, but this is the first I have seen you type something meaningful.
