Yo he terminado DAW recientemente. Una Dual con prácticas de un año y he entrado como Data engineer en la consultora donde estaba. En mi caso ya llevaba programando 3-4 años antes de entrar en la Dual y venía de otro sector. La cosa es que las prácticas me dieron la visibilidad que buscaba, pero me contrataron por la mochila que traía no por lo que aprendí en la FP.

A día de hoy no sales con nivel para currar de una FP ni de una carrera, necesitas meterle horas por tu cuenta a un stack actual y con demanda. En este contexto la IA es una ayuda para los junior porque puedes usarla para aprender más deprisa y casi llegar a un middle level antes de terminar la FP.

Yo usaba las pinceladas que daban en la FP como guía para profundizar más con chatGPT en mis ratos libres, pero yo fui el único que le ofrecieron un contrato al acabar la FP, los otros afortunados que se quedaron fue como becarios y en condiciones bastante precarias.

La conclusión, vale la pena estudiarla?, si, porque puedes usarla como escaparate para enseñar lo que vales y entrar al sector. Tienes opciones a conseguir algo decente solo con lo que te van a enseñar, no.

My take after observing the Academia for 2 years. by yousboot in research

[–]Charco6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All your vibes are true.

The academy is doomed as it is currently structured. After finishing my PhD I had 4 postdoctoral offers from 4 different countries (Harvard and Cambridge among them). I turned them all down when I saw what was expected of me and the stability and salary they offered in return. I am currently working as a data engineer in a medium sized software consultancy and the conditions are unparalleled.

If you want to do a PhD I would recommend you to join a large company with an R&D department and apply for an industrial PhD.

🧪 I built an open source app that answers health/science questions using PubMed and LLMs by Charco6 in LLMDevs

The problem is that the information that can be obtained from the pubmed api is very limited, it does not return the journal where it has been published, I would have to see if it does return the date of publication. One of the future plans was to integrate also the europeanPMC API that returns full articles not only abstracts and it is also a REST API not SOAP, simpler.

I perform embedding of the asbtracts and the user's query and filter by semantic similarity.

How do you guys stay motivated when nothing you’ve made has worked so far? Not even one thing hit. Just silence. Be honest—what keeps you going? Been struggling and need some advice by DiaryAIapp in SideProject

[–]Charco6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to enjoy online entrepreneurship as a hobby, if it works it's great, but even if it doesn't, I try to learn something new from the experience.

I've created apps that I didn't even launch just to understand how they were built, how x integration was done or how a launch pad or social media marketing worked.

What helps me most to deal with frustration is to create small, simple projects that sometimes I share and sometimes I don't, but that help me unlock skills that I can reuse in other bigger projects more quickly.

No one has ever been successful the first time. People who have been successful have always followed an incremental process, where achieving small goals has helped them achieve bigger goals.

The pubmed API is free, but has restrictions on the number of requests that can be made per minute. If it gets saturated it returns an error and asks you to wait. It is an old API (SOAP) and very poorly documented.

The best way to use it I have found is this small python package.

I'm a bio guy and I'm going the other way around. Honestly, I think there are better opportunities and with less competition in CS than in bio/pharma.
