   Terrible online training course

   The lowest available rating score is 1, but if there were a zero, I would rate this program a zero. There are no pros to this programming course. The lessons are so brief that I cannot understand them. Before I gave up for good on this programming course, I was writing tons of messages to people on Youtube asking them to explain things to me, and I hated the constant hassle of having to write online messages asking for explanations for the simplest of things that the lessons did not explain. This programming course is NOT a do-it-yourself training course by any means --- and it should not be used by schoolteachers as student homework assignments, as I recently advised a 13-year-old who was having trouble with the lessons and nothing was being helpful to him. This training course should be accompanied not by brief and intelligible on-screen lessons, but it should be accompanied by a detailed high school-style textbook complete with images. By the way, I have Asperger's syndrome, I have all kinds of problems with learning and with executing tasks, and I cannot participate in gainful employment in ANY profession for this reason.

• OpenAI no longer Open. "We were wrong [...] I fully expect that in a few years it’s going to be completely obvious to everyone that open-sourcing AI is just not wise."

  Open AI's work is based off of Google's research paper. Google believes in open source! https://opensource.google/ Google will save us. Google will make their AI open source. Their motto is "Don't be evil"! ... But I'm still waiting for their source code of YouTube, Gmail, drive, maps, docs, sheets, forms, search, ads, translate, sites, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

  It's not on google github/their open source git host(for comparison, the canonical go repo is), their readme makes no mention of google, wikipedia says "The language is expected to have a 1.0 release in 2024 or 2025.[4]",. Source: over 1 year ago

• There are no open issues or pull requests on Flask

  And side note, don't bring up both MS and Google when both are well known to make use of FOSS. Google has an entire page about how they both make use of and release OSS. Source: almost 2 years ago
