You can be but it’s very rare to find someone that is.

For programming I always tell folks you need 3 skills: adaptability, self-reliance, and strong problem solving (thinking outside of the box, etc)

The most lacking skill I see new students is self-reliance. Learning to do your own research, knowing when to ask for help and when not to, etc.

Nothing. This is a PR move by meta, nothing more. They are trying to seem “hip” and push their ads.

Meta, Google, MS, OpwnAI, etc gave akeasy scrubbed fediverse. Probably associated accounts to folks real names.
