Coding in general is a very broad spectrum. you can make apps, web pages, or software applications and they only overlap in theory. As a hobby I would recommend getting into apps for the immediate rewards of seeing your shit on your phone. have a goal and work towards it! start with hello world and add things you want! I think its important to start with hello world so you can see a successful completion and as you add elements you will still be able to see results to keep you motivated. also everything frolo said is true too.

Where to begin/what language? Resources? i don't think that which language you start with matters too much. but my university started me on java. other ones i've heard of people starting on commonly include c++ and python. start by picking a language, then learning basic things like how use variables, what different variable types mean, what if/else statements are, what arrays, loops, recursion, classes & objects. then i'd go to somewhere like /r/dailyprogrammer and look at the prompts they have to work on problem solving abilities. some open courseware worth looking at form harvard and stanford. http://cs50.tv/2014/fall/https://see.stanford.edu/Course/CS106Aif your interest is web development i can't really offer any advice. My university is getting me started on Pascal ... someone please fucking kill me fuck man that sucks.
also wtf ketara give it a rest already man...

The key thing to remember is that for most streamers you're at least slightly beholden to trends and fads, you can't just stick your head in the mud and play what you like forever. So if Darkest Dungeon or Binding of Isaac or Princess Ponytale Adventure comes out and that's what people are eager to watch you need to jump trains 90% of the time or else cede viewers and $$$$ to other streamers who will. That kinda depends. You're either beholden to the trends OR you cannot play anything except the single game you get known for (more or less). Pick your poison I suppose.
True. The greater point is streaming to make money is essentially the same trap as professional play. People think, "Oh it'd be so great to make money doing something fun!" but the truth is you cede a lot of freedom for the privilege. You're not completely without freedom, but you're still placing restrictions on yourself that aren't there when you're just playing on your own time and at your own whim.

No Castlevania this time. Too many options didn't feel like overwhelming people with one more.

No Roquefort option, your poll is invalid

That's a lot of choices, it's hard to chose. But persevere we must. I went with Asiago. I almost always like things that have that.

Yeah, that poll is actually impossible for me. The only one I don't like is swiss, and I'm not a huge fan of brie.

I may be a heathen but I don't particularly like cheese. I'm ok with it on some stuff though

The correct answer is "Other - Robiola." On the hand, cheese es cheese and cheese is delicious.

I think it's improper to talk about the best tasting cheese without the food context. Crackers? Crackers + Jam? Pizza? Salad? Straight up?
That said I like gouda a gouda deal.

I only ever have Cheddar so I guess Cheddar.

One of my coworkers once worked in Australia and was disappointed because he could never find "American" cheese.
Then he figured out that Australian stores had it, it was just labeled "Ultra Processed Cheese Product" because only Americans would call such a thing cheese.

Wait... are you doing something 5k$ a month Monte? Is that before taxes or are you really, really well paid?
I don't know all of these cheese but I switch mine up between 4 or 5 every time I have to restock. Brie and variations, emmental, cantal, and a few others I can't recall the name of, including tommes.
Cheese was one of the things my brother missed most while he was in Australie and south-east Asia. When a couple of friends he met travelling invited him at their place in Shanghai while he was there, he was awed at having a "real" meal with French food and stuff that he hadn't had or seen in months. And he wasn't big on cheese before he started travelling.

4.5k after taxes/benefits/retirement contributions, but I've been working for nearly a decade now so my pay has naturally gone up over time.
I work for IBM so that has a lot to do with it.

Them big corporate bucks. Had a friend call them golden shackles. Not too imply anything about your job Monte. I've just been fighting the oppression in my head for years

Havarti masterrace, reporting in. IMO it's kind of like Monterrey Jack, but creamier and milkier, is a little more versatile (and fancy) too.

The weirdest Korean dish I've had is Duk Bok Gi, which is rice cakes with red pepper sauce and cheese. It was like a Korean person saw Spaghetti and decided to make it without a recipe and with ingredients they were familiar with. It's the only Asian dish I've ever had with cheese.
$5K/ mo is 60K yearly-- depending where you are, that could be really good (Midwest) or kinda bad (New York/West Coast). Also dependent on what degree you have, what field you're in, how long you've been working, etc. Also, $45 *40 *50 is $90K, probably will get you by in most places pretty comfortably, but the real "value" depends on the same factors. I got a couple job offers in New York paying comparable amounts, but I said heck no b/c cost of living sucks, and the NY lifestyle is way overrated to me. Took a paycut to stay in Atlanta but came out ahead because everything is so much cheaper.
