Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval

Reply in thread

It's really not surprising, it's hand selected delegates travelling to Calgary in winter... Anything less than 80% would have been shockingly catastrophic for him.

Honestly though, holding onto leadership is good, because he's lowered their ceiling of support so incredibly low. Yes his support base is large but he basically has no chance of getting the Conservatives a majority.

What’s blocking students from building real-world projects in college?

Students generally don't have real-world problems that need solving. I think pretending they do makes a lot of assumptions about their life, hobbies, free time...

It's much much much more important to have a co-op program. Everything practical I learned in university was through my co-op work terms.

I am responsible for hiring some devs right now, and there's been a wide spectrum of competence from people who have "real projects". Especially with how prevalent AI is, people can literally just talk to an AI agent and get some kind of app/website spun up with 0 skill and effort. What I am always looking for is people who can work on a team in an existing codebase.
