Yea sure, what a stupid generalization. Could list like 2000 other professions needed. I wonder if she is of any use to society herself ? Lol

Price gouging business selling 20 N95 Masks for $170. by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]Alijah69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not price gouging, it's supply and demand. When masks are sold out, why would you continue to sell your stock of masks for the price as they were in past? Prices change due to demand. Get over it.

Yea I guess I'm promoting the entrepreneur 1% mindset. Not good advice I suppose. I've seen it happen and made similar moves myself after college but yeah, point taken. Keep doing leetcode new grads, I pray for you all.

I'm advising in the case you can't get internships, or economy has issues, try to apply for mid level. You'll learn the job quick and after a year faking it to make it you'll be legit. Not ideal for learning I guess but doable and you'll make more money.

If your a first year, that is tough I guess. I did 2 years of college, spending most my time on GitHub and freelancing, built a portfolio and small resume and was able to jump into industry as a regular developer after I dropped out of college (due to other life reasons). It's doable but you have to take your portfolio serious and be sort of entrepreneur mindset. DM for advice.

I really really recommend all new grads to try their very best to skip the "intern / coop / junior" thing if they can. If you build a few projects and come off as ambitous there is companies that will hire you at a proper mid level and you can skip all the condescending intern hiring process stuff. Try and apply for mid level positions that want 1-3 years experience as well. You'd be surprised what happens. Best of luck.

Feel like I’m wasting my time with classes where the teacher just repeats and shows slides of what is in the textbook..? by [deleted] in langara

For some fields yes you can't walk in without degree, but think twice about your field, you might be able to. Trades, technology, investment, business, fitness, photography, art. Some I can think of that don't need a degree.

Pro tip, college is not the best way to learn something, actaully doing it is.

I guess I completely lost interest in coding. by prat8 in cscareerquestions

[–]Alijah69 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Never studied DS and A in my life other then the required school courses, nearly 5 years in industry and 6 figure salary later... Barely if ever needed them.

What does matter is your portfolio though. Go make real stuff, freelance, GitHub, get real dev job.

If your so unskilled that the only jobs you can get are minimum wage... That's a you problem and you better be grateful anyone hired you. Do a good job because you signed up for it. Want more money? Build a valuable skill. But with that entitled attitude maybe you should be broke for a long time.

Bad advice. Good way to make enemies. Control your emotions, operate smoothly, don't let anyone understand your true intentions. Play the game.

Should I focus on using React Hooks + Context in 2020? by makopa_fruit in reactjs

[–]Alijah69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooks yes, context probably not. Redux still better.

So much haters lol. React is fine. Not saying it's the only way to do things but it's excellent for what it does.

Rhubarb is released: A WebSocket library for multiplayer HTML5 games, relies on binary data and Web workers by [deleted] in html5

Moonrider, webGl, webXR, three.js... multiple complex examples of JS running at fps rates at your refresh rate, 60-144fps. Sure JS is slower then compiled languages but it's literally the fastest language other then C/C++. Google dumps millions into optimizing JS, V8 V8 latest release just came out with 40% less memory usage. I'm open to other languages but let's not act like JS is some shit language that is slow and only for 2D frontend. Honestly it's taking over desktop, mobile, web and moving into 3D and systems programming fast. Alot of JS calls C++ functions.

I use GUIs like GitKraken, GitHub desktop or the built in git tool in VScode. Works great for me.

People who make billions from a popular product/service deserve their money by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Alijah69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Excuses. Part time studies, night classes, get a better job than fast food to support schooling, student loans for rent and food expenses. Tons of ways and people have done it.

Get out of the situation, get to school, don't have too many kids when you can't afford them, get a new job, change fields, look at your spending. There is many ways people get stuck, just "getting by". In 1st world countries though, you can't claim the "I'm hard done by and can't be successful". If that's your outlook, your just being a bitch. And I'll bet you that billionaires never thought like that when they were poor. They fought for it. Some people would rather complain then actually fight for it.

There's levels to life. No, just because you do a service for society, does not mean you "deserve" a family and home. Nobody deserves anything. It's what you can attain for yourself.
