   I like Thonny

   I started an on-line python course that used Pycharm as its basis. I had previously used Thonny to look at code for various programs. I found Pycharm to be over-featured for a beginner like me. Thonny seems much more on my level so I am continuing the course using it instead. And successfully I might add.

• Abstract Classes in Python

  Personally, I like to debug and step through code to see where I went wrong so I'm going to paste the code into my Thonny IDE. I like Thonny for small code challenges like this because it doesn't require setting up a whole project just to run and step through code. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Do you know any good coding platform for education?

  Thonny is designed speciffically for that purpose https://thonny.org . For beginners the main advantage is the easier install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment. IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Macropad with KMK

  I use the serial console with a tool like Thonny to debug KMK/CircuitPython code on my device. Running something like import main; main.keyboard.go() usually prints a useful error message. Source: 12 months ago

• What sites do y'all use to find Software Engineer work?

  Ya LinkedIn, referrals from friends. For startups, it's a little trickier: use a combo of topstartups.io, breakoutlist.com, curated lists. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Where do you go to search for jobs?

  Niche job boards are pretty good if you're already into that niche. But the problem with most of them is that the supply is either limited by who's willing to pay, or anyone can list and it gets very noisy. For startups, prefer topstartups.io and breakoutlist.com - good mix of quality & quantity. Source: about 2 years ago

• Just found out Stackoverflow has removed their job board (stackoverflow.com/jobs). It was my go to place to search for a new job. Would love to know if anyone here can suggest alternatives other than Linkedin :)

  Yup that’s the one. If you’re looking for startups, try https://topstartups.io and https://breakoutlist.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Job Hunting While Day-Jobbing

  Ya the researching companies thing takes so long esp. If you're going for startups. These sites saved me a lot of time: https://topstartups.io/, https://breakoutlist.com/ Also helps to take a few days off here and there to get it all done, even if you're working remote. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Best path to (tech) entrepreneurship? (MBB consulting vs big tech SWE vs startup SWE)

  Some sites to get you started: topstartups.io (good curated list); angel.co (more startups but generally lower quality because anyone can post); breakoutlist.com (good curated list but doesn't update often and focuses on later-stage). Source: over 2 years ago
