Heads up my dudes, my son needs to do work experience this summer and he's a programmer. Nearly 15, can do 3 decent languages, main in Java, been programming since 4. All he wants to do is be a developer. Anyone offer work experience these days? Two weeks in July. London or Dartford way or anywhere in between. Ta! Retoots appreciated!
@Thayer What area does he want to work in? Fintech perhaps?

@Thayer most internships are full by now. I know our tech has standby candidates with all 55 seats filled. They generally open in august and are usually filled by mid-november. I recommend going to university career fairs and the like, as those will usually be easier to navigate than online only offerings. That said, here is my company's submission portal: https://cmegroup.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/cme_careers

@Thayer Can you share more about his passions and problems he is interested solving / what he wants to build? What does he do for fun?
To to use analogy, if I said, "I can speak English, Spanish, Chinese snd want a job speaking over the summer" it may not give prospective employers enough idea of how I can serve them.

@Thayer same boat as Oliver here, always looking for help over at my FOSS project, QZ Tray. We're on GitHub and we pay, but is mostly a self-leaen, self-discipline gig.

@tresf awesome thanks! Sadly he needs to be onsite (I should have said) so I'm guessing this wouldn't work but thank you so much!

@jrovu well as it's only 2 weeks he will more likely be making coffee and watching people :) he be very happy with anything. Are you in the UK, and if so you remember your school imposed work experience at 14? :) is going to be the same.

@ghostrunner that's so helpful thanks! He's only 14 it's a UK thing where kids work in industry for 2 weeks but this will be really helpful in a few years, thank you.

@TazPoltorak anything really! So long as it's 2 weeks and he's in an office. If he can't get programming based W.E. it'll be whatever he can find.

@TazPoltorak thanks that's really kind! It's just a 2 week non paid work experience. They can literally just make coffee, file papers, watch people etc. It's to give school kids an idea of the work place. They try and get them in the industry they want to work in too see how work works. Thank you :)

Sant’Akash
Il sacrificio di Akash ha salvato 800 persone:«Nessuno ha un amore più grande di questo: dare la sua vita per i propri amici»
(Gv 15,13)Se non è santo Akash!
Akash Bashir, nato il 22 giugno 1994 a Risalpur, Pakistan, è un laico cattolico e ex studente dell'Istituto Tecnico Maschile Don Bosco di Lahore, dove ha studiato con un forte desiderio di servire il prossimo. Dopo aver terminato gli studi

Oh no sono venuto a conoscenza di Stremio. Oh no. Da quando ho iniziato ad usare Linux sono diventato un pirata. Aiuto. C’è un grosso conflitto di interesse.
Cosa è giusto e cosa è sbagliato. Fare scraping per allenare modelli LLM che rivendi a caro prezzo è giusto? Piratare un film di 40 anni fa è giusto? Se rubo ai ladri per dare ai poveri è eticamente corretto?
Perchè Altman, Musk e Bezos possono inquinare il nostro pianeta e farla franca mentre se pirato un film sono un criminale?
