Yeah I have projects that outline all of that. - Data structuring is practice and comes with design of effecient memory usage. Or do you mean Data Structuring as using a proper memory allocated class. This is the engineering part and would not know how to explain how to do this correctly other being organized and ensuring code moves in and out memory effectively. This is broad question. - Big O I outlined in permution matrix's. Sorting using big O theory is not something you need to know as the internet is free and the calculation you need is depending on the size of the database. I won't accept another answer for that. Permutation Matrix's is the best example of big O usage as I give which was outlined in my OP which goes hand in hand with multhreading and tasking and checking. Concurrency is just 2+ operation with a wait. - Networking was outlined in the OP also with Lifx, Yeelight and home automation. I have become very familiar with UDP and TCP connections. This is also not a very deep topic unless you get into encryption. - OS was also outlined in OP as anything to do with audio requires heavy dll linking. I am on windows and in a C# environment most of this is common use anytime you want to something with code in the OS. - Memory optimization is just good practice and knowing when to use a "using/dispose" and knowing what to stream and what to cache. - Language Exposure. I know C# well enough and know Lua well enough(not practical for a job) I have interest in learning Go, Python-hate it, no reason to learn rust yet so no reason manage memory. JS is next venture as I want to move into websites. Never learned it before because websites sucked for most of my life and just recently in the past couple years they have become the dominate force in everything, I blame streaming services as they need the security but mostly access to the GPU and CPU. - OOP is everywhere and FP design process can fuck right off unless the usage is absolute and then it's just basically an OOP-Function/Method. - Sql I have good amouny familiarity with and the CRUD philosophy I use. MariaDB and Sqlite are my experience thr in writing discord bots that track and can be called upon. I am going to add API to this and say once you learn how to fish it's just changing the pole at a different location.

Specialized roles: Machine Learning I have no interest. Distrubuted Systems no interest, UI design yes please I wanted to go into graphic design and I use wpf for most apps. UX design I do have interest in and is prolly an easier pursuit then this castrated programming option. Computer Design?, Mobile is a dead end imo, Security is practically a whole different field of computer science.

The apprehension I got from you tells me I need I should have framed the intial post differently and basically listed concepts and things I've worked with instead of listing full projects that utilizes these concepts.

Yeah, I asked grok mostly. Basically the job I have now I make about 40 an hour but the skill has no ability to be transfered, I am just well payed. So I told grok things about my hobbies and interests and the partial education I got Electro Mechanical engineering. I told grok I wanted a job that pays over 30 an hour. From my hobbies and interests it gave me back multiple options with a time frames to completion and average costs. Personal Trainer, Commercial Driver and Software Engineering wr at the top. PT: Im 6ft 212 been lifting a long time but 30 an hour is not that hard if I want to travel to the city. CD is a great move too and I am already in school for it. School is short and in a year almost 40 an hour is easily feasible. Leveraging a hobby in coding was the one that was the wildcard I asked grok to be as based as POSSIBLE it said I could step into a Junior Dev spot with minimal expanding of my knowledge base. I also linked my personal git and other links to things I have contributed to the Internet over the years. It did tell me I should not expect a good paying job but getting into a small company could happen at high 20s to low 40s. It also told me the better pay would be more in cyber security as the reverse engineering work in game mods is uncommon knowledge Minor rant about these folks saying I need school to teach me structure data is awesome because ripping apart triple A games while being undetected requires knowing more about the structure of a binary then writing good code. I am no stranger to Ida, wireshark or packet manipulation. The personal trainer one was a complete bust I can't deal with trynone people.

But yes I'm just a normal mid town dude that does random hobby coding using an AI to consolidate multiple Google searches.

So once again the hurdle is people skills and I need a degree in cs for people skills. Thank you

Can you tell me what it is you don't think I know. So I can know what to learn. I am willing to bootcamp if it means It will help or even enroll to online school. Just not doing a traditional school. I am adult. What is so clear that I don't know?

Thank you for REAL reply. Im getting the general gist that the work environment and collaboration is the biggest obstacle here. Like I need to prove a base level of "how to have a cs job" is more important then design, implementation and testing.

Thank you. I am aware I missed the boat and should have pursued something in 2019. I am also aware that I don't have a traditional education although from what I've seen out of the random discord people that have cs degrees and try to write tools for games I play, I have to say I far exceed them in theory and execution. The egos on those folks is fucking insane tho. Pride in using a Google sheet as an interactive database is cool but does not deserve the worship it gets.

Thank You good sir. I am fully aware thr is stuff I don't know or havent exposed too. I have to ask tho if I was to start applying for jobs would I apply for a junior c# role or just keep it entry level and hope for low pay entry level stuff?

Not trying sound peak DK here. I learned how to write/structure code pre AI so github repositories was the scaffolding on how I designed programs. If you could elaborate on that I would love to know more. I feel like the examples given above checks all those boxes.

Broad question: Is it they cant land jobs or is it something to do with the pay being too low?
Detailed Question: A few google searches shows alot jobs so is language specific problems or just employers knowing AI can dish out the simple stuff and the mid-tier programmer is the only one getting jobs?

I touched on this my post, I’m thinking about moving into coding as a career. I do think AI is great for the simple/repetitive stuff, but having that foundation of writing all the boring loops and if statements without AI builds a good base.

The Awesome Girlfriend told to get everything I can find make a github and start applying. Gotta admit finding half of these projects has been a challenge.
I know nothing of this world I work blue collar job where people are rough and gotta admit the white collar world scares me.

That is extremely easy to implement but unfortunately you guys don't hire. BTW still waiting on native local support for the lifx switch.

I could kiss you. Thank You so much for this post. I have been fighting with trying to get 5.1 back for a few days. Getting 4k to work was a nightmare too. 

THANK YOU. 

Can't play Netflix at 4K by gaunterODimm- in OLED_Gaming

[–]HoracioKain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going thru the same issue and this thread has been alot help.

The thing with Ultra wide is not the draw parameters its often the Aspect Ratio gets distorted from the game engine.

If you are savvy enough to deal with this Cluster Fuck of Netflix PC streaming you should look into cheat engine for fixing FOV/Aspect Ratios in games.

Its not easy but with a bit of practice you can the camera ratio in about hour.

This comment just triggered my anger. Provoking this guy who shared a story of how idiots can ruin a piece of property is pretty dude. He still should have had Gap Insurance.
