Do not do this, but if you are, be sure to include Excel, Word, Windows, Outlook, and TCP/IP. Adding TCP/IP lets them know you're a real technical person.

Most automated scoring of a resume compares your resume to the job posting you're applying for. The closer the match the higher the score. You should be tuning your resume for each job and while using the same words and phrases in the job posting.

The second column seems clunky to me. I know what everything in column 1 is for. Column 2 seems redundant or filler. For a keyword search or something like an ATS having those things mentioned is probably helpful. Though, for an ATS you should be optimizing for that separately.

Right now the About Me page doesn't tell me anything that I won't find out on the Resume and My Projects pages. I would get annoyed at having a wasted click for no new information, and it tells me that you're just putting stuff on a page for filler. Maybe consider combing the About Me and Contact Me pages.

On the about me, you may want to add a portrait and some biographical information. Nothing too personal. The stuff you would like to share an icebreaker in an interview. It's a good way to provide a conversation starter, "Hey, I saw on your page that you like kitties and hiking. I like kitties and hiking." I had my HVAC serviced last week, and the company sent me a text with a photo of the tech and some general biographical info on it. Apparently the guy likes going to the gym and spending time with his family. I don't know why I needed to know that, but now I do. Humans are social animals, and a lot of humans like that kind of stuff. The portrait doesn't have to be anything professionally done. Any decent phone has a portrait mode. Just look nice and use a clean background. Don't use the webcam on your monitor with your unmade bed in the background.

Also, this page tells me you are more of a back end person. Someone more front end would be a little more creative on the graphical design. This looks like a default template. That's fine if that's the message you want to convey. That's what my stuff looks like. I mostly do data engineering and present those data in an interactive dashboard with some manipulation and filters. In that situation having a boring and generic looking dashboard is desirable. My users prefer that since they are really there for the data and controls, and anything extra would be a distraction. If you want to convey that you are more front end focused you need a less tabular layout and more visual candy.

print(f"debug: {what_the_fuck_is_this}") is a valid pattern that seasoned professionals still turn to. If you’re in a code environment that doesn’t support it, then it’s a bad code environment.

I've been known to print things to the console during development, but it's like eating junk food. It's better to get in the habit of using a logging framework. Insufficient logging has been in the OWASP Top 10 for a while so you should be logging anyway. Why not logger.debug("{what_the_fuck_is_this}") or get fancy with some different frameworks and logger.log(SUPER_LOW_LVL, "{really_what_the_fuck_is_this}")

You also get the bonus of not going back and cleaning up all the print statements afterward. All you have to do is set the running log level to INFO or something to turn all that off. There was a reason you needed to see that stuff in the first place. If you ever need to see all that stuff again the change the log level to whatever grain you need it.

Google is an advertising company. Something like 80% of their revenue comes from selling ads.

How would spending money on Gitlab support their primary business.

Don't worry about Linux, and don't try to over complicate things. If you are set on going the Linux route, get a Raspberry Pi. It will give him something really flexible and cheap to experiment with later on.

Look into modded Minecraft. There is a mod called Computer Craft where you can write programs in Lua. One of the things that makes scratch so good for kids is that the results are instantly visible. This is important for kids.

Unmodded Minecraft has Redstone where you can build logic gates.

Outside of what you already have check into a maker space or a computer club at school. Here in Atlanta there is https://www.codeninjas.com. Maybe there is something similar in your area.

About twice a week we would go to the computer lab filled with Apple IIes. Usually we had to play Number Munchers, Word Munchers, or some other game to reenforce whatever we learned in class. After we finished the game in the lesson plan, we could then play whatever educational game we wanted. Oregon Trail was a popular choice because nothing was funnier than having the game say a classmate had died or broke a leg. And the hunting and rafting mini games were the closest to arcade games.

Also keep in mind that the only exposure most of the teachers had to a computer were the mainframe terminals in the school's office or the computer lab. MECC put together a lot of software and training for teachers. A school building out an Apple II based computer lab with a bunch of MECC software was as close to turnkey as they could get at the time. The documentation for Oregon Trail or Odell Lake gives you an idea of what it was like.

The way we do it on my team is debate and discussion. Debate can be tricky in a professional environment. Some people go into thinking they need to dominate their opponent and make it personal. Personally, I would try to avoid hiring people like that in the first place, but sometimes you got to make do. The thing to remember is that you all are on the same side and have the same goal.

I think we worry about population too much. The way you stop excessive population growth is to eliminate poverty and improve child mortality.

The TelePort Gold II came in at a speedy 14.4 Kbps. It came with my Macintosh Performa.
