楼主把人家的信全文贴上来,包括全名,这样不太好吧?
想讨论这个问题用自己的话大致描述一下就可以了。 ...

How did the code that made the killer become a $ 100,000 programmer in Silicon Valley?[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]After 22 years in prison, now Zachary Moore (38) sat surveying and checking the code in an open-space office in San Francisco with a 6-digit salary.
Zachary Moore, a criminal who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 1996 (then he was 15 years old) now became a computer engineer at a technology company in Silicon Valley. After 22 years of sitting in a 1.8 x 2.7 meter cell, now Zachary Moore (38) sat surveying and examining the code in an open-space office in San Francisco with a six-figure salary , among the highest of the US workers. His colleagues are graduates of Stanford University
Moore was born into a middle-class family, in a quiet neighborhood in Redlands, California. Moore's parents are addicted to alcohol and often neglect their children.
As a teenager, Moore started using alcohol and drugs. On the night of November 8, 1996, Moore's family members got into a big argument. Uncontrollable emotions, Moore was holding a knife stabbed his brother.
In September 1997, Zachary Moore was convicted of murder for a life sentence of no release before 26 years.
Three days before his 17th birthday, Moore was sent to a high-security prison. Moore struggled with life in prison and tried to find out who he was and what he did.
In 2000, Moore was frequently in trouble and had to move to solitary confinement almost no human contact and was shackled 23 hours a day. During this time, Moore realized his guilt and decided to fix it on his own.
Later, Moore joined a group of prisoners trying to improve themselves, the group learned about Buddhism, meditation classes. With the emotional support of his fellow inmates, Moore gradually learned how to "remove negative emotions from the mind".
After being transferred to Ironwood State Prison, Moore enrolled in an online university program at Palo Verde College and graduated with an average of 3.89.
One day, Moore saw a brochure in the prison corridor talking about a program called The Last Mile, a program about entrepreneurship held every two weeks at prisons run by Chris Redlitz, a businessman. person and investor in Silicon Valley.
Through this program Redlitz wants to teach prisoners the skills so they can find jobs when they leave prison. And programming is the easiest job search skill in California.
The prisoners are learning to code.
Moore signed up to participate in a comprehensive code training program organized by The Last Mile at Ironwood Prison in June 2015.
At the time, Moore had only used the computer three times in his life before committing the crime and didn't know what the Internet was.
Despite the life sentence, Moore still hopes he will be released one day and he wants to be prepared in order to find a useful job. Programming work appealed to Moore and he felt it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Moore must pass The Last Mile's screening process, have a clean record, have not committed any violations within 2 years before applying and pass a logical test.
Moore started the first code learning program with two 6-month courses. Initially, Moore was learning basic programming languages such as HTML, CSS but only allowed to code by hand. When exposed to computers that do not have access to the Internet, he had to learn by himself on instructional videos made by technical experts from Google, Airbnb, Slack and Alibaba in studios.
During the second 6-month period, Moore was taught about back-end coding, combining Javascript and NodeJS. At the end of the course, Moore implemented a project called Capstone, a mock e-commerce website.
Moore graduated with the highest score. Later, Moore moved to San Quentin Prison to attend an additional training course focusing on The Last Mile's advanced algorithms and data science. |
