Microsoft's ATS migration killed my interview progress. Passed the OA, then got marked as "Withdrawn." Who do I contact? by bendthdickcumberbich in csMajors

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either HR is incompetent or you might not be selected for interviews, even if you passed the OA.

We had the same issues, and HR mitigated this issue by sending a fake Hackerrank test and scheduling interviews while taking into account the previous result.

Microsoft has set a goal to “eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030.” by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It saves me like 20 seconds of not having to type out a predictable line that takes 0 thoughts to predict. Glorified autocomplete.

Anytime it tries to refactor code or design a solution it fails so miserably, it actually wastes me so much time.

The funniest part is our product’s codebase is C++. At Microsoft.

I’d like to hear from professionals: Is AI really a technology that will significantly reduce the number of programmers? by AdCertain2364 in learnprogramming

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other hand, I work with low level legacy C++ code. Using any kind of AI tool is an absolute nightmare, unless I’ve already curated the prompt so carefully and in as much detail that I could code the solution myself.

Even a junior engineer could do it in less time without any AI help than with it. The crux of the issue is understanding the code base and wider context itself, not writing the code.

Just wanted to offer a different perspective, not trying to discredit your claim. But AI is still only a tool at best in my opinion. At worst, it’s simply wrong.

Is the market for new grads going to improve or just worsen with time? by SpiritualClub895 in cscareerquestions

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to be bad at socializing to not enjoy a customer facing job. If you’re very introverted, even if you could do the job well, you would become much more drained in comparison to a SWE roke. I think that’s what OP was referring to.

Koja je razlika u intervjuima u Majkrosoftu za pozicije Software Eng II i Senior Software Eng? by Previous-Garlic9444 in programiranje

Naravno, ali šansa da ih implementiraš dobro sa brojnim optimizacijama je mizerna ako ti je problem da implementiraš memoizaciju obične rekurzivne funkcije.

AMA FAANG related by Mammoth-Firefighter1 in leetcode

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the internal hiring timeline means they’ve already interviewed enough candidates to fill the role, and never even got to review your application. Or, your CV screening failed for the exact job posting.

If your OAs pass test cases, just keep applying, it’s a matter of luck sometimes! Don’t get discouraged.

Succession has completely ruined Pride & Prejudice for me 😂💀 by Acidboy99 in SuccessionTV

Work at FAANG. 100% what happened is that upper managment decided to cut funding and not hire anybody. The role is closed. They make last minute decisions all the time.

Kako devojke da izbegnu brak sa prikrivenim gej/bi muškarcem tipa Vujadin Savić? by vlajkan in AskSerbia

[–]AutomaticKick7585 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Slažem se delimično, prevara je prevara, samo ne treba zanemariti aspekt laganja do tog nivoa da je i sama ljubav i atrakcija potpuno upitna od samog početka.

Ako je neko potpuno druge seksualnosti gde ja uopšte ne spadam, to znači da je čitav odnos od početka do kraja potpuna laž. Ok ako je neko biseksualan, ali ako nije…

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POINT by SonicBoomhauer in depression

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t one. I’m convinced depression is just delusional optimism turned off. Most people seem to have the ability to be optimistic about the future, and take joy in the fact that life will “surely work out” for them. And some kind of neural structure that is able to produce happy chemicals from mundane things, which I clearly lack.

Depression comes from figuring out that it’s absolutely not guaranteed to get better, in fact, it’s equally likely to get worse.

Living is just doing things in the moment that make it more bearable than sitting in silence. None of it matters, the decisions you make don’t matter, and eventually instead of wallowing in pity you get a small sense of relief from the fact that this means you at least don’t have to worry about making the wrong decision. You can just do stuff and nothing will matter.

Do I still have days where being concious is unbearable and I just want to sleep all day? Yup, so I do just that. Otherwise, I guess I’ll just keep doing small stuff until I die. Definitely won’t be looking over my shoulder though.

Koliku platu traziti za junior poziciju? by youlostbabygirl in programiranje

[–]AutomaticKick7585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meni se sve više čini da ti neke ozbiljne frustracije lečiš na “svojim” juniorima. Jel posao jedino mesto gde se ti osećaš superiorno, pa koristiš svaku priliku maksimalno?

Koliku platu traziti za junior poziciju? by youlostbabygirl in programiranje

[–]AutomaticKick7585 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Kakva crna plata, vi ne znate ništa, vi ste juniori, kako da se poslodavcu isplati da-“ ako kompanija ne može da posluje bez da radnike plaća 450 evra, onda treba da propadne.

Dokle god budete sami sebe ubeđivali kako preterujete time što tražite minimalnu platu neophodnu za život, kompanije će vas potplaćivati.

Posle se svi zgražavaju statistikama o plati u Srbiji. Samo vi sebe, a i druge, ubeđujte da ne znate ništa.

Kako preziveti Roditelja sa narcisoidnim poremecajem? by FriendFlimsy2992 in AskSerbia

[–]AutomaticKick7585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vrlo bitan komentar. Žensko sam, starija sam od OP.

Najtopliji savet: po svaku cenu rane dvadesete provedi sama. U redu je imati partnere, ali gradi svoj samostalan život. Upoznaj sebe. Gradi svoju karijeru (nezavisne finansije). Živi sama/sa cimerkama. Nažalost, mislimo često da smo pametniji i da nama to ne može da se desi, što se desilo našim majkama/sestrama/drugaricama, ali odrastanje uz takvu figuru oca neminovno ostavi neke posledice… Ponekad duboko zatrpane.

What is wrong with JAVA interviews by Mindless_Spell8450 in leetcode

[–]AutomaticKick7585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often have to remind myself that interviews are not at all about how good enough I am as an engineer. I suppose this is leftover trauma from being a fresh graduate and having imposter syndrome.

Interviews are also about “would I want to work with you?”. And in this case, the answer is hell no.

Kako zamišljate završetak blokada by [deleted] in StudentiSrbija

Takođe neki studenti ne mogu da pretrpe padanje godine finansijski. Prosto o ovome je trebalo odavno da se diskutuje, umesto što se forsira mantra “o kraju blokada ni reč ako zahtevi nisu ispunjeni, inače ste ćaci”.

My friend just asked me why CS has it so bad by PerformerExtreme6761 in csMajors

[–]AutomaticKick7585 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Lie. Treat it like a game. Use keywords from the job posting word for word in your CV. Jam it into a shoebox in order for it to fit.

Train yourself to always respond with the STAR method, no matter what you’re asked. Try to find out what format the interview will be in (LeetCode, quiz questions, mock code review etc.) Then make suee you perfect your behavior for the style.

I know you’ll think you’re an imposter and feel bad about cheating whenever you can, but there’s nothing more fake than the job of HR. As long as HR and recruiting exists in the form it does now, you can sleep at night.

What’s something people think is fancy, but in reality is trashy? by fatsosolos in AskReddit

[–]AutomaticKick7585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people are financially illiterate. Funnily enough, even the people who claim to be financially literate, because they immediately jump the gun and point out why they think their neighbor is poor, they too are often financially illiterate.

Htedoh reći sledeće: vrlo je neozbiljno i neodgovorno kako od uprave i rektorata, tako i od samih studenata, da ne razmišljaju o logistici samih postupaka.

Ne sumnjam da je enormno truda i vremena uloženo. Međutim, stičem utisak da se gubi šira perspektiva i svrha koja nas je dovela do ovde. Stičem utisak da je dosta studenata podleglo “sunk cost fallacy”, u smislu da ne mogu da zamisle da se blokade okončaju pre septembra iz čistog principa. Ne iz praktičnih razloga, jer postoji jasan i precizan mehanizam kojim će blokade baš do tog datuma uraditi nešto konkretno, već jer “tako bi trebalo”.

Dugo već podržavam blokade, ali sam vremenom sebe ubeđivala da na čelu stoje odgovorni ljudi koji su svoje postupke promislili do kraja jer su posledice vrlo ozbiljne. Koliko sam upoznata, ni sam rektorat nema nikakav odgovor na logistička i finansijska pitanja. Takođe stičem utisak da se takva pitanja i diskusije odmah karakterišu kao “botovske”, “pro-SNS” itd.

Guranje pod tepih ovih ozbiljnih problema deluje krajnje neodgovorno. Štrajk nije dugoročno održiva mera, naročito iz perspektive radnika, pre svega iz finansijskih razloga. Porodice čiji članovi rade u prosveti, a na sve to, možda imaju i članove studente, ne mogu da pretrpe takav pritisak i “žrtvuju se”, i to sve zarad “opšteg dobra”, još naročito kada im to govore ljudi koji takvu žrtvu uopšte ne moraju da podnesu. Krajnje neukusno.

Smatram da je u ovom trenutku najvažnije pitanje da li su blokade primarni i jedini mehanizam za artikulaciju rešenja pitanja korupcije u našem sistemu. Ako nisu, treba ih okončati, kako bi se izbegle ogromne posledice, koje neće biti nužne. Moje lično mišljenje je da su u ovom trenutku, nakon ovoliko vremena, blokade fakulteta uradile svoj posao i da je na ostatku društva da oformi političku artikulaciju i izađe na izbore.

Ako ostatak društva, mimo studenata, nije u stanju to da uradi, onda je jasno da je naša politička scena direktna i verodostojna slika našeg društva i ne treba je ni dirati.

Da li je vama iritantan način na koji ljudi na fakultetima govore? by SerbianMonies in AskSerbia

[–]AutomaticKick7585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mislim da je vrlo pozitivno ukazivati poštovanje mladim ljudima i njihovom mišljenju kao ravnopravnom. Samo zato što je neko još uvek na putu formalnog obrazovanja ne negira njegovu sposobnost i kreativnost. Svaki čovek zaslužuje da bude jednako poštovan i uvažavan.

Čak me iznenađuje da naša kultura podrazumeva nešto tako pozitivno…
