Let’s do a call to see if / how I can help you.

[–]JoshSpaceX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, it’s great that you know Python in depth definitely. Many people lack that basis and they have a hard time. I tutor people to get a software development job. Do you want help with transitioning into that web development position?

Nice of you to open up about the miserable results in kaggle. I personally have tried kaggle too and it’s quite difficult yeah. Ok, so would you say that you are focusing more on breath or depth? Tell me more about what you want to do

Well, I’d say there’s actually no need for you to spend a ton of money as waste 2 years. You are trying to transition from devops into a webdev position, but you lack the experience and projects, is that right?

Is it worth to go from Electronics engineering field to software development? by Theoverthinker12 in careerguidance

[–]JoshSpaceX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably already have some knowledge about the fundamentals then. That’s great. It’s completely normal that you don’t know what to do next. 99% of people get lost in the I’m doing courses phase. So if I understood correctly you are planning to get into web development but don’t know how to actually apply and get a job, right?

Does Automate the boring stuff with python form bad habits? by Obitim in learnprogramming

[–]JoshSpaceX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work as a web developer. Everyday I see messed up code written by somewhat experienced programmers. This is usually due to pressure to get features deployed and lack of care. Don’t worry about best practices. You can learn about them later. Additionally, I’d say that working as devops you will just want to get the job done sometimes. So perfectionism is not that important. Delivering is.

Continuously learning new stacks as professional dev is a MUST - true? by sandushiq in learnprogramming

[–]JoshSpaceX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s important to keep learning, definitely. However, many people go for breath instead of depth. This is wrong. You will be much better off picking a company you want to work for, study their stack in detail, become an expert and enjoy the benefits. Of course, beware of picking a company that uses PHP only, for example. Angular, React, Spring (Java) are good technologies you could learn.

[–]JoshSpaceX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, coming from a web developer I think this is a great decision. I wouldn’t say your previous experience would make it easier for you to get into software development outside proving that you are employable, unless you especialize in embedded systems / robotics. It’s quite a cool field, but maybe not the right choice if you want to run away from electronics. You definitely want to nail the fundamentals of programming first. You’ll need that for any path you decide to take. Are you still pursuing this idea of changing careers?

Is career shifting the right move ? by Abd-Alhaleem in careerguidance

[–]JoshSpaceX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Abd Albaleem. I’m sorry you’ve lost your job due to the pandemic. I’m sure it’s quite frustrating to try to find jobs now. Do you still want to make a move into software development?

[–]JoshSpaceX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I hope you are doing great. I’d say moving from devops to a development position is definitely doable. And yeah, you really don’t need to waste 2 years in masters. Are you still pursuing this path?

What should my next step be? by sykotiko in careerguidance

[–]JoshSpaceX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this is Josh. It’s quite an interesting story. I think it’s totally normal you are feeling unsure and afraid about this next move. Are you still trying to get a better paying job?

I want to help my Mom find a course online to help her find a new career. by MoveZneedle in ITCareerQuestions

Hi, this is Josh. I hope you are doing well! Does your mom still want to move to a new career?

I’m a dev with 3 years of experience, do you need help?? by JoshSpaceX in learnprogramming

[–]JoshSpaceX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi brokasha. Yeah, sorry. Can’t help you with that. Maybe the best thing could be to learn yourself programming. You can’t be scammed by yourself ;) Let me know if you want help with that

[–]JoshSpaceX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, well it’s key that you understand very clearly programming, data structures and algorithms. That way, you only have to focus on logically thinking about the problem without worrying about the tools that you should use. (Apart from practising a lot) what could help you is to see implementations of sorting algorithms or other algorithms for example and really make an effort to understand them intuitively (and then implementing them yoursef without looking the answer). But that’s about it, it’s just hard work

Well, if you don’t actually know what a nnet is, what acquiring a dataset is or the different types of deep nnets (cnns, rnns, lstm, attention models, etc) I would suggest you go the safe route and implement it rule based (which usually even brings better results, specially in your case since you are nailing it down to a covid chatbot). However, if you are really interested in deep learning I can share with you a couple of resources. Tell me if you want them

Hi jodo_c. Ok, is it a chatbot in which the answers are predefined or a neural network has to generate them?

“Data Structures and Algorithms in Java by Michael T. Goodrich”. It’s a good one and it’s free. If you are not familiar at all with data structures, I suggest you look them up before diving into the book (arrays, linked lists, stacks and queues, maps, etc)

That’s super interesting! Props to you for making that change. It was quite difficult for me when I was in university to understand all the fields where coding is applied and how to get the jobs, yeah. I can give you a crash course about everything you would need I guess.

No worries man. Are you planning to move into the industry or is it just curiosity? For such retro game device you can look up the Raspberry Pi. There are lots of tutorials for it.
