so learning coding still make money in the big 26?
so i become 18 last week and let say i may get kicked off the house the next 8 month i guess you know why the only thing that is saving my ahh is that its my last year in high school, soo does learning coding can make money online ,because no one really pay that much in my country too and i dont really know what best for me, btw i use linux (void linux) so i know linux commands and stuff if that important information, i will learn it anyways i just want to know if i need take i seriously or focus on other thing i will be thankfull if you know other things that better or ways to find jobs and stuff thanks

Need some help..
I’m trying to scan small like books, or cards that people have gave me into my scanner to make digital..
I want it to look like you’re opening a book (I.e. flip books. If you went to school in the 2010s, it was popular to find flipbooks online to view/read the textbook online!) BUT with the websites I’ve found.. you have to use the link to access them. I just want to download them to my computer. I don’t want anything online!!
Is this possible! Please help me! Thank you!

Is AI Making Developers Lazy, or Just Less Curious?
These days, I’m working with a lot of junior developers, and our company has a lot of legacy code and internal libraries that we use.
The problem is that when you assign a task to these juniors, they simply ask Claude to implement it by sharing the ticket. Unfortunately, they often don’t understand what’s happening in the code. I feel like AI is making some developers lazy because they don’t want to put in the effort to understand the problem themselves.
They come back saying the code is done, but when you ask them how to test it, they struggle. Even if they’ve tested it, they can’t explain why it behaves the way it does or why something is going wrong.
Back in our day, we used to dig through the codebase to understand the existing behaviour before making changes. Now, with AI, some developers aren’t even willing to review their own code because they don’t fully understand what they’ve written.

Be 100% unbiased and 100% Brutal honest. Is this too harsh to tell this to programmers who won't use AI?
Now you are CFO. and you see some programmers won't use AI at all which is not ok in this AI era!
and some programmers use AI to write code, unit tests then human programmers review PRs themself, which is acceptable in this company.
So you want to tell programmers who won't use AI "Do you realize we are doing busniess? if we don't move fast, our competitors will take the market share and we won't have money to pay your high salary"
And then you as CFO will joke to them like even you use AI don't make code slow like bubble sort ahahahah, so they dont feel stressed.
Otherwise as CFO you have to talk to CEO and convince CEO to "let them go since they think a job is a playground for them but not a professional workplaces"

Asking senior devs: Is my AI-assisted development workflow actually good, or am I doing it wrong?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently a 3rd-year CS student, and like a lot of people, I use AI a lot while building projects and hackathon apps. However, I’ve tried to avoid the trap of blindly prompting ("build the whole app for me") and instead forced myself into a structured workflow.
Before letting AI touch any code, I sit down, analyze the problem requirements, map out the system architecture, and plan a detailed workflow. When I do use AI, I treat it more as a brainstorming partner to poke holes in my design.
For the actual implementation, I break everything down feature-by-feature. I review the code generated for each specific feature, check for logical flaws, fix edge cases, and refine it iteratively before moving to the next part.
For senior devs and engineers here: Is this approach actually correct and sustainable for building real-world software, or are there blind spots I should fix? How do you structure your own workflow when leveraging AI tooling? Would love to hear your feedback!

Will AI make things a lot worse?
I’ve been curious about this topic for a while. I looked through a few communities to find one where I could post this without stirring up the usual ‘AI is coming for your paychecks’ drama. Most of us have used AI one way or another, and I keep wondering: is it all bad?
Claude Pro really increased my productivity, and my office runs a corporate Claude Max account. Our codebase has grown in recent years, and it’s virtually impossible for a team (let’s say 5 people) to handle such large files. We regularly work in files of 1,500 lines, sometimes 5,000, depending on the project. Is AI really so bad, or are people just dramatizing?

Go vs Kotlin/Java for Open Souce Enterprises Software, which would you choose?
I work as an Accountant, and I want to build an open source self hosted application. And hopefully in the future, add several other services to it, like inventory tracking, payroll, etc.
I am confused which language too learn for my project, go or kotlin.
This is going to be a long term project that I aim to develop for years to come, and learn as I go. Also, would be great if I can have other developers use my code for their own business needs, so having a community is something I hope to grow.
Seeing that Go is simple and compiles into a static binary, I feel like it would be easier for non technical folk (my fellow Accountants primarily) to install and use.
Whereas, kotlin/java seems to have a vast ecosystem.
Can someone with more experience guide me?
About me: I'm a newbie, just started learning to program. Currently going through the Odin project and doing my MCA. Learning Java, Python and C.

Career advice for an aspiring software developer in the age of AI
Hi everyone! I’m a college student from South Korea aspiring to become a software developer.
I haven’t started serious coding yet—in the past, I’ve only dabbled a bit in Python and basic game development. Now, I want to properly build up my skills and portfolio for future employment, but I’m really lost on which specific field I should aim for.
I know that with the rapid advance of AI, developers spend significantly less time writing code from scratch. However, I still firmly believe that mastering core programming fundamentals and languages is essential for any real developer. Once I pick a direction, my plan is to deep-dive into one main language while also learning how to effectively leverage AI tools in my workflow.
With how fast AI is changing the landscape, I’m having a hard time deciding which path to take. Which fields would you recommend (or suggest avoiding) for someone starting out right now?
I’d really appreciate any insights or advice from experienced seniors in the industry. Thanks in advance!

Any chance someone can help me with Claude or ChatGPT access?
Hey everyone, I know this is a lot to ask, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out with access to Claude or ChatGPT.
I'm a student who loves programming and building stuff. Right now I'm working on a Roblox game inspired by Need for Speed Most Wanted. I'm trying to make it feel like an actual racing game with realistic driving, police chases, a wanted system, car customization, crashes, and a proper open world.
I'm still learning as I go, and these tools have been helping me a lot with coding and figuring things out. I just can't afford the higher plans right now.
If anyone has a legit way to help me get access, I'd really appreciate it. I know nobody owes me anything, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks 🙏
