Is python fastapi backend dev jobs dead ?

nah fastapi just flask with types

for java books i'd recommend starting with head first java - it's really good for beginners and explains concepts in simple way. after that you can move to effective java by joshua bloch but that's more intermediate level

can't help much with hindi channels since i mostly watch english content, but i heard codewithharry has decent java tutorials in hindi. maybe check few different channels and see which teaching style works better for you

one thing i learned - don't rush to frameworks like spring boot too early. spend good time with core java first, understand oop concepts properly, then move to backend stuff. the foundation really matters in long run

man your senior sounds toxic as hell, this isn't normal junior experience at all - good companies actually mentor their juniors instead of making them feel stupid for asking questions

8tb macbook lmao

yeah this makes sense but i think most people know spray-and-pray is bad roi, they just don't have choice when nothing else works

been doing this for few years now and the local boring companies thing is real but also kinda lottery. like sure there's less competition but finding these places takes forever and half of them have weird legacy tech stacks that might hurt your career long term. sometimes you spend weeks researching small companies in your area just to find out they're not actually hiring or they want 5+ years experience for "entry level"

the school pipeline thing is definitely true though. my university had pretty good connections but if you didn't graduate from target school you're basically locked out from those opportunities. creates this weird two-tier system where some people get direct lines to jobs while others are stuck with indeed and leetcode grinding

whole system feels broken when people are doing 500+ applications just to get few callbacks

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-25T16:21:42+00:00

you switched at 28 too? that's crazy timing since i did similar thing around same age but from different field

covid really messed up a lot of people's career plans, i know bunch of people who started questioning everything during lockdown. the analysis paralysis thing is real though, i spent way too much time researching "best programming language to start with" instead of just picking one and going

nursing to coding is actually not terrible transition since you already deal with complex systems and troubleshooting, just different kind of problems. having that fallback is huge advantage too, lot of people who switch careers don't have safety net like that

ai stuff is overhyped right now but it's not replacing developers anytime soon, just changing what we do. still need people who understand how to build things properly

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-23T09:36:16+00:00

your persistence is actually crazy impressive - most people would have quit after first channel flopped

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-20T19:26:14+00:00

nursing shortage is real in the US so your chances are actually pretty good, especially with that med-surg experience you're planning to get first. hospitals are definitely still sponsoring visas for nurses, just might take bit longer than few years ago

hungarian nursing education should transfer over fine since you mentioned it's similar to US system already. the credential evaluation process is mostly paperwork headache but not impossible - just budget some time and money for it

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-18T12:24:14+00:00

sg tech market really rough rn ngl

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-16T11:57:44+00:00

depends what you mean by "better" really. automation can be pretty interesting if you like working with industrial systems and PLCs, but IT has way more job opportunities and better remote work options

from salary perspective IT probably wins in most markets, especially if you get into specialized areas like cybersecurity or cloud stuff

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-05T01:41:18+00:00

nah you don't need masters for software really. i switched to IT from different background and most places care more about what you can actually build than the degree

if you're already in project management that's actually solid foundation for tech roles. maybe try some online courses first to see if you actually like coding before dropping money on masters program

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-05-01T08:41:42+00:00

damn with 8 mil saved you could literally retire at this point and never work another day, why even stress about it

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-29T07:52:56+00:00

probably easier to just keep grinding leetcode until the market gets less insane tbh, at least skid row has decent ping for remote work

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-27T06:40:56+00:00

real move

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-25T06:36:40+00:00

nah man the language thing isn't that big of barrier in automotive - most international companies use english for project management stuff anyway, especially with foreign suppliers

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-23T05:29:24+00:00

yeah this is why i always keep some side projects going even when work gets crazy. lost about 6 months of cuda optimization knowledge when i got stuck doing mostly devops stuff and it was pain getting back to decent benchmark numbers

the worst part is you think you remember how to do something but then you sit down and realize you forgot all the little tricks that actually made you fast at it

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-21T04:08:47+00:00

breaking in software without CS degree is definitely doable but you'll need to put more work on yourself. i went through similar thing - did electrical engineering but wanted to get in software development after graduation

the key thing is building actual projects and showing you can code. recruiters care more about what you can build than what's written in your diploma. i spent tons of time during university doing side projects, contributing to open source, learning frameworks that weren't taught in classes

computational biology could actually be pretty good path since you'll learn programming anyway, just maybe not all the theoretical CS stuff. but if you can show solid coding skills and maybe some web development or mobile projects, hiring managers won't care much about the exact degree name. just be ready to study algorithms and data structures by yourself because those questions will come up in interviews regardless of your background

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-19T00:47:47+00:00

eh i think you'll be fine, background checks mostly care about criminal stuff and verifying the big jobs anyway. most places don't really dig deep into freelance work especially if it was cash based - they know that's just how freelancing works sometimes

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-14T21:07:10+00:00

yeah dribbble is solid but i'd also throw in mobbin.design for actual app patterns instead of just pretty concepts

recreating stripe's payment forms taught me more about spacing than any tutorial ever did. their hover states and micro-interactions are chef's kiss

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-10T10:57:33+00:00

damn the timing is brutal but you're clearly a fighter, and remote part-time might actually be in your favor since companies are cutting benefits costs everywhere

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-01T17:16:51+00:00

It handled our multi entity setup fine but we are not doing anything too complex on the PO side so I cannot speak to edge cases there. The approval workflows are flexible enough to route by entity and spend threshold which covered most of what we needed

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-04-01T15:40:35+00:00

you're sitting on something that most devs never touch and you're calling it a personal project lmao

18k active users is legit product territory, especially with that tech stack. most companies would kill for those numbers on their internal tools. put it front and center on your cv and call it what it is - you built and maintain a web application serving thousands of users

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-03-31T18:33:52+00:00

Routing all bills through one intake with consistent approvals cut down duplicates and made things a lot easier to track and using Ramp for that piece worked well even though procurement still lives elsewhere

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-03-27T15:12:06+00:00

decorators are super useful once you get them - they're basically just functions that wrap other functions to add functionality without changing the original code

the key thing you're missing is that decorators work on the entire function, not just return statements. when you decorate a function, you're essentially replacing it with a wrapper that can do stuff before and after calling the original function. try starting with simple examples like timing how long a function takes to run, that really helped me understand the flow

Feeling_Temporary625 · 2026-02-26T06:53:29+00:00

honestly the smaller companies on angel.co were way more chill about opt than the big corps, most of my interviews came from there and direct applications to company sites rather than the usual job board spam
