It's not schools' job. I mean sure, schools are there to teach the basics needed in life but the thing is, a programmer is, as long as it ain't a code monkey job, supposed to be self-reliant when solving problems so teaching them everything from breathing to keyboard shortcuts isn't needed. Any IDE worth it's salt displays it's keyboard shortcuts itself so someone who's able to teach themselves a thing or two (a skill that I consider a base requirement for programmers) can figure out themselves.
On the other hand, a reason why a co-worker of mine prefers too-terse C-style function names is that he never really learned to type. He's faster than my mom, that I admit, but not even that much faster.

I was 10 seconds away from posting when it just popped into my head that I may have seen the answer already. Perhaps I will use it next time and hope nobody notices...

... in Switzerland (I'm aware, a borderline case Lounge or Soapbox. Last but not least, I decided for Lounge because it's a very technical thing)
A lot of people here do demonstrate against 5G. Their argument: Longtime "Health impacts" have not been researched and excluded for 5G.
Now my question: Was this the case for 3G or 4G?
My answer: No. So please throw away your 3/4G mobile phone and demonstrate against all mobile communication please
What is your opinion/expirience?

Amusingly, it's studies from Switzerland (IIRC) that are used in demonstrations here (USA) against cell phone technologies.
[edit] And regarding the technical side (promoting your reason to post in the lounge, haha), a decent read (at least for the layman) here: What Is 5G? | PCMag.com[^] .

My father told a (potentially apocryphal) story which (may or may not have) happened the 50s (?) regarding the dangers of radio signals.
An engineer was asked to participate in a study of the dangers of radio signals -- so he demonstrated the dangers to the committee (I don't recall the details, killing a mouse maybe).
Then the chairman responded (something along the lines of): "That's all well and good, but we want to assure people that it is safe."

From what I understand from the one show I watched on the "dangers of 5G" (key weird music), the issue has to do with the beam steering and higher relative power levels. I mean, you *do* have an RF device next to your brain. Is it sufficient power levels? Track the studies and especially who is paying for them - both pro and con.

That is why my tin foil hat business is so profitable. Supplemented by my credit card RFID proof wallets.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

If you want to supplement that income get yourself a rigged geiger counter like do-dad,
when the tin-foilers gather point it at some money and set it off:
- convinced their cash is radioactive they'll throw it away ... and well you collect it (into your lead lined bag of course - no need to take risks).
be kind though: demo the big notes as "more radioactive" [so the government can track and count them], ya should let them have the 1's and change so they can still buy food (and hats).

No, no - you need to rethink your marketing model. Just like inkjet printers, you want to fleece the client repeatedly for maximum profit. Dead people don't give repeat business - so you have to spend more to acquire new ones each time (and leave a trail of bodies which gets the authorities interested in the scam you are pulling).

I am probably part of the tin-foil hat brigade as after watching one talk I decided to always take my phone of out my pocket when I am driving, or in a moving vehicle, due to the boost in signal as the car crosses over cell boundaries.

I'm sure that 5G will lead to a great many deaths, though probably not from people getting their brains fried by signals.
A quick glance around any street will reveal hundreds of zombies glued to their phones when they ought to be looking at the road that they are driving down or the one that they are crossing.
Now, imagine that these people are actually looking at something immersive rather than simply worrying about whether they've got any likes on Twitface and a picture of intense carnage emerges.
So, where do I stand on 5G?
CON: Millions will die
PRO: The phombie apocalypse might have found a cure.
