    Programming is more of a thought process than anything else. If you can't think logically, sequentially, or break problems down to a series of sub problems you'll write shitty code. If you can, then you know the basics and but still need to learn how to structure your code using OO principles and SOLID techniques. But if you don't have the thought process you'll never be able to do it.
    I've met some self taught people that are good, but most are shit because they don't have the foundation of knowing how to design a solution; they can only hack stuff together. Which is fine when you have a 10-20K line code base on github, but never gonna work when developing and maintaining enterprise and commercial applications.

    Adios Senator Booker.

    He made a fool of himself during the Kavenaugh stuff and never recovered. Whoever advised him to act that way should be smacked.

    And also he isn't really likeable on a national level.

    You... you think that had anything to do with his primary performance?

    He was one of those I kinda liked even though I didn't agree with him on much anything when he was mayor. But then he became a Senator, and promptly went nuts.

    Momentum is a thing in all areas. Not sure he was ever going to win. But he didn't do himself any favors with that either.

    That said, he never had any kind of campaign vision or message either.

    He's the equivalent of making a copy of a copy of a copy on the copier, except with Obama.

    He chose big pharma as his special interest. that's a bipartisan anchor.

    He’s a senator from NJ. Big pharma owns him.

    The bros are now coming after your preferred candidate en masse, IP. Prepare for a lot of ugly.

    This is Highlander shit, gcb. and I don't mean the movie, I mean the Adrian Paul tv series with the Queen soundtrack. You can bang another immortal on the side, try to have an immortal protege... but in the end someone will take their head.

    One of these two had to slay the other, and absorb their power. I don't know why you thought your candidate could just win without a quickening or two.

    There is no sanctuary. There can be only one. May it be Duncan McLeod. The Highlander.

    Good point taken. Maybe I'm naive (I am), but I long for a modicum of civility in these battles of ideology. What's funny is the actual candidates are generally classy, but their surrogates are anything but. I hate the ugliness, distortions and lies to get ahead. It may be politics, but it's a massive turn off for me. I expect something better than what we have today, not a different flavor of the same thing.

    And Master Puppeteer Nancy is just sitting in DC making sure neither of them can get out and campaign and giving Biden the nod.

    all of these folks are friendly with one another. it is indeed the underlings who do this shit this way. And it is just about winning. Winning campaigns get jobs.
