I tried to introduce my son, Alex, to programming when he was young. He wasn’t interested. But he eventually found his way to it on his own. By the time Alex graduated high school, he had put his first app into the App Store.
Now, after 4 years at WPI, Alex has a BS in Computer Science and a Masters in Data Science, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA. (Yes, he received the maximum possible grade in every undergraduate and graduate class he took in all 4 years!)
We are immensely proud of him! ❤️
Also on my mind: my son may be part of the last generation of programmers to have learned to program in the days before LLMs.
@siracusa congratulations and Alex and his parents. Great things.
@siracusa congrats to Alex and to his parents, who seem to have raised a good one!
@siracusa Congratulations to your son! You should be a very proud papa!
@siracusa Congrats! So how long until he starts a podcast?
@siracusa wow, that’s fabulous! You’ve raised him well.
@siracusa congratulations to you and Alex!
@siracusa congrats to him!
@siracusa oh man, good luck to him. Tough time to be trying to break into the industry
@siracusa Huge congrats 👏🏼
@siracusa Heck, I’m immensely proud of him. I’m proud of you too for allowing him to find his way! Nice going y’all.
@siracusa Congrats to you both. See, the kids do listen.
Apple folks: Alex has been applying to open positions at Apple, and he is willing relocate to California. But so far, he hasn’t gotten any sort of response. If you want a smart, dedicated developer who’s a fast learner, please check out his resume, which is already in your system!
@siracusa The long developing plan to get someone on the inside to take care of those decades of Radars is finally coming to fruition…
@tba He keeps applying to open positions, but he never hears back! (For all I know, he's already applied to this one, but I'll ask.)
@siracusa is he looking for an iOS position? My company has openings.
@rwitherspoon I'm not sure he has the "2+ years" experience you're looking for, but I'll point him to your careers page.
@siracusa I’ll tell our recruiting team to give him a call regardless 👍🏽
@siracusa Congrats Dad. No surprise. He’s a chip off the old block 🌟
