      At least school’s out for summer.

        The quality of programming-related content on Reddit is absolutely terrible. The major lanuage-related subreddits are almost nothing but people self-promoting their latest Medium blogspam or thousands of people patting someone on the back for sharing their first “Hello world” program. Anyone going there for any sort of advice surely didn’t gain any sort of productivity boost.
