This is Ryan Lesson. He is the founder of
Protocoding

https://www.protocoding.com/

He's worked as a Senior Engineer at Walmart, Calibre etc has around 15+ years of experience in the industry. He's not one of those "insane geniuses that built Facebook copy in college, raised 5 million on SaaS at 20, and worked at MAANG" types but more of a down to earth, above average IT guy who built a solid career through steady progress and wide experience

Outside of tech he's a powerlifter and a gym enthusiast. What's cool is that he retired in 30s a self-made millionaire.and now lives a quiet life on his farm in Wyoming while managing his business remotely He's married has a son, and keeps things simple no flexing with expensive shit. Just a quite simple life

Honestly that's the kind of balanced, peaceful life I want to build one day

do you think i should get into coding?

I always liked it as a concept. I used to code mods for some roguelike games but it wasnt anything outstanding.

Just with the whole rise of AI, im not sure if its worth getting into. By 2029 all coding jobs will probably be replaced by AGIs.

If he was Indian. He wouldn't have quit at 31 and would probably keep climbing the corporate ladder late in his 60s too

How about you stop asking what you should do to strangers. Whatever reply they will give you won't change anything.

Yes ofc. Coding is one of those skills that multiples than keeps you in a box even many financecels are being forced to learn basic coding so are many data analysts etc. Coding has been democratised and coding is only 10% of what you do as a software developer.

And why do you say that? it'll change a lot if i get a good anwser. Im down to start and try new things if i deem it worthwhile. Jason seems like a successful enough guy for me to trust with my decisions.

Your advice may be great I'm not here to deny it. But it's based on your biases, your perception of the world and life, your location, your opportunities...

I saw 4 posts like that in the span of 5 minutes, asking what should they be doing in the future. And it triggered me.
Asides that, yes, Preston seems to have life experience and is a lovely guy with a lot of knowledge.

Yeah i get your viewpoint then.

I just always wanted to start doing something in my freetime that isnt mindlessly rotting away or gaming, but i never knew how to start.

If i get help with that, i wouldnt mind going deep into it - especially since i'm on my PC a lot.

That's alright. Take in mind it's easy to make plans, but not easy to start executing them.

He could've spent a few more years making even more money to give his family more generational wealth. He seems very intelligent but I guess he figured he wants to spend his years enjoying life while he still can instead of waiting till he's 40+ and starts developing health issues. Good for him tbh.

for me it's carlo wood, i used to watch primagen a lot and honestly he made me learn touch typing, neovim and all dat but his videos are so ass its funny. dudes takes a 2 minute read and makes an hour-long video from it lol

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Give tips on improving typing speed. I tried using a mechanical keyboard but failed.

tbh my typing speed is shit. the only way you can improve typing speed is by specifically practicing it, there's a ton of websites on it, be it learning how to touch type or optimizing typing speed for coding

 

[taai]

Man tech sector in Spain is so sad I will never even get a chance of this without sacrificing living here

I always wanted one of those fancy ass mechanical keyboard. I liked the idea of having a loud ass keyboard with clicky keys that feel like old achool typewriters.

I ended up getting something like this. I can't recall the brand or model but it had that full sized layout, chunky keycaps, RGB lighting the whole PC master race vibe

But I soon realized that after using my laptop for years. I have gotten so used to typing on low profile keys that my fingers and hand quickly get tired on elevated keyboards like these. Within a few minutes of typing I experience wrist fatigue and because of the long key travel for the key to get activated my typing speed has also slowed down lot. Productivity decreased instead of what I thought would be a good purchase and I still strongly prefer being on my laptop despite already investing in a PC that is now collecting dust and occasionally i play games on.

i used to use a hhkb keyboard in high-school but in college i bought a kinesis360 and my wrists have never felt better but i didn't get the customized version for 1k$+ which i defo shouldve done. the switches are fucking ASS dude so i mostly just use my X1's keyboard for coding now

Damn so you are one of those niggas who uses ergonomic keyboards..one of co worker uses it but I think the learning curve would be too steep for me.

Ill try it. Also what do you think about those low profile mechanical keyboards. I learnt they exist recently. Like nuphy air75. Never tried it tho

 

[mvpisafaggot420]

the one you mentioned looks like shit but idk. i dont really care about keyboards. i legit use my thinkpad to type on 95% of the time

Don't spend money on real holy pandas I got a set from Ali it's the same mold just less QC but it's worth it

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Same I almost do all my typing on my macbook air but the thing is the macbook keyboard is unique so once you get used to it it's hard to switch

I don't understand what any of that means man. I don't know much about keyboards.

yeah same with the x1 carbon thinkpads. the keyboard is awesome. if you dont have wrist problems like me you dont really need to switch tbh

 

[mvpisafaggot420]

pretty sure the addition isnt even 200 bucks, who cares atp. might as well get the real thing

 

[taai]

It's easier if you YouTube holy pandas tbh it doesn't get deeper than just very nice switches which are the analog switch for the key to fire the keystroke. You have multiple ways to customize your build with obscure materials or whatever, you can spend stupid money on it so do big research

 

[taai]

I'm just very cheap tbh

I love the 2021 14" MBP keyboard but I really like the Thinkpad x260 keyboard they feel awesome

I've heard cherry mx are considered to be the best

 

[mvpisafaggot420]

nah dude theyre ass. all the mx switches are bad imo. i only like tactile switches

 

[taai]

I've heard cherry mx are considered to be the best

Well in the "serious" "keeb" world this is like the casual choice but they are really nice indeed. I ran blacks for a long time since I really like slamming the keys, blacks have more resistance than others. They sell switch testers on the internet for a decent price before spending on the whole set.

There's cheaper options so look for what might interest you to try.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I just googled the stuff you mentioned @taai what a deep rabbit hole. Wow I never knew people spend hundreds of dollars on their keyboards and customize them so much right down to the last keycap. Damn. You learn something new everyday.

 

[taai]

I run fake holy pandas nowadays though. Last I run was gateron yellows

I knew there was some kind of craze for the lightest mouse they can find but I never knew about keyboards. seems like people nerd about everything

Yeah for a while I was really into it and kept selling to buy more nowadays I don't really "care" that much. My desktop keyboard is a keychron K8 pro where I put the switches I wanted. Mainly because I want ISO-ES layout and most custom PCBs are JP or US. They're nice, not the best but it comfy and it just works.
