Ask HN: What to Buy with $1,500?

[redlampdesk]

My company has a $1,500 education stipend. What would you spend it on to kickstart learning to program.

The question itself isn't of much value without knowing your current skills, the domain you work in, nor the domain(s) you desire to work in.

[krapp]

Nothing. I'd put it in the bank because we're about to tumble into a global recession-if-not-depression and take some courses online.
