    According to Poon, some of the company’s most experienced personnel left before all of their accumulated knowledge could be fully transferred into Ford’s automated systems. That necessitated bringing back some of those employees to retrain those systems…

    See this, nothing was learned by these slop-shits. Their take away wasn’t humans-with-experience > than slop-bots. It was, unfortunately, ‘we didn’t extract enough knowledge from the humans that helped build our company before tossing as many humans away as possible. Once we’ve extracted enough, we’ll try again.’

    Fuck you poon and co.

    It may be a red flag with him being so forward, so fast, with a relative stranger. I’d be worried if you two are the only two going fishing on Sunday (e.g. is he trying to get you alone for the wrong reasons), and you should confirm who else will be there before you commit. If others will be there, go and have fun!

    Basically, yes, he does like you (Congrats!)… And it’s awesome if you like him back. BUT he has to earn your trust to be granted alone-time outside of public places. And having warm and fuzzy feelings is not the same as earning your trust. Only time, patience, communication, and if others vouch for him, should be the things that move the needle of trust for a new person coming on so hot and heavy.

    Good luck!

    Any use? Always! Exercising your brain will never be a bad investment!

    But which language really depends on why you want to learn and what you want to do with it, though! Coming at it from a ‘languages with an abundance of learning resources’ perspective (sorry not exhaustive):

    • You want to program devices; LEDs, microcontrollers, sensors, etc? Python!

    • You want to make a pretty website? JavaScript with the React framework!

    • You want to prototype out a monolithicly big web app quickly? Ruby on Rails!

    • You want to make infographics? R!

    • You want to start a career in Software Engineering? JavaScript with Node, Go, Rust, or C# with dot-net framework, and many more*. Also, abort, don’t do this, AI is decimating the job seeking field right now.

    So, it really depends on what YOU want to do with it. As others have hinted, a programming language is often just ‘syntactic sugar’ to accomplish the same programming concepts. Most all the modern languages can do the same things, just using different function-names/words/syntax. So as a learner, just frankly ignore all the “{X} is best at {Y}” arguments, including those above, and instead: concentrate on the concepts (like loops, recursion, associations, type control, etc, etc, etc.) over the specific language, first. Good luck OP!
