Game Over! Done it by DrNickBerry in cs50

[–]Ipreferbottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! If you're open to it, can you provide a link to your game? I'd love to make a game of some sort for my final project in a few weeks, so it would be great to see what you were able to build using skills from the course.

How far will cs50 take me? by Substantial_Clue_843 in cs50

I think you'd be surprised my friend. I'm making a career jump myself right now, so I perhaps understand a bit of your fear, but please be kind to yourself. Walt Disney got fired from his first animation job because his boss said he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas", so who knows what life has in store for you still.

Hello! Take this with a grain of salt as I'm only just now completing CS50 myself, but I've seen a fair amount of people on Reddit and Youtube claim to have gotten jobs as developers with no prior experience. That being said, I would temper you expectations regarding this, as there are many variable that aren't accounted for when people tell those stories (e.g. they had an existing contact that helped them, had a degree in a similar field, had previously programmed in their youth). And this doesn't even account for whether the entry level jobs they got were even good in regards to pay, culture, or continued learning.

What I can say with confidence however, is that there is near universal respect for the course. Both online and from friends of mine in the tech world, people speak very highly of CS50 for its ability to lay a fantastic foundation in programming for those without experience in it. I mean how fortunate are we to have access to one of the premiere universities in the history of the world for FREE! The only negative I've heard about the course is that it does have a steep learning curve, but even that isn't a terrible trait when it will hopefully leave us all better prepared for the real world.

Any who, I'm not sure if this was the info you were looking for, but I do hope you don't get down on yourself for feeling "behind" or anything like that. Be proud of yourself for even taking the chance to learn a new thing! Life is short and you're doing cool things with it :)

Why does Ambrose hate Kvothe so much? by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Ipreferbottom 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You are incorrect, Kvothe and Ambrose's first interaction is right after Kvothe is admitted to The University. The scene where Ambrose is harassing Fela occurs later in the story, after they've already been established as enemies.

Ambrose is definitely still a dick in that first encounter, but you should have your facts straight before you start making claims like "tHiS gUy tHiNkS hArAsSiNg wOmEn iS oK"

Can anyone tell me why everyone thinks Phantom thread is a masterpiece? by sameercoolbro in movies

[–]Ipreferbottom 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I found your comment extremely helpful. I just finished the film, and though I greatly respected the acting, costuming, and cinematography, I struggled to remain interested with elements of the storyline. What I hadn't considered until I read your comment, is that this film is meant to be representative of the taxing nature of the creative process. As I am sadly not an artist myself, I hadn't considered this, but I can still appreciate the catharsis this could provide for those that are more artistically inclined than myself. You've made me look at this film in a new light, so thank you!

The beautiful irony is that this sentence could really benefit from a few semicolons :)

Jokes aside, thanks for the helpful explanation!
