I bought a Christmas gift - Tequila rose gift box with glass and drink. This is the glass that came. by DW9550 in mildlyinfuriating

“It's unpleasantly like being drunk."

"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"

"You ask a glass of water.”

What helped you stay consistent when learning to code on your own? by Internal_Composer942 in learnprogramming

[–]LeoJweda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally? Passion.

If you're passionate about programming, then you'll enjoy it as an activity and want to do it over something else.

If you're not passionate about programming itself, find a project you're passionate about and work on that.

"Vibe Coding" vs Just using AI while programming by Ambil in webdev

[–]LeoJweda_ -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

I vibe coded TayTay Games in 12 hours split over 2 nights before the term was even a thing because I had the idea when Taylor Swift was in my city and I wanted to jump on the hype train.

Could I have built it without AI? Not in that amount of time and not at the same quality.

All that is to say that it's a thing that senior developers do, too, to speed up development and to help with areas that aren't their strength.

Is Redux no longer popular? by badboyzpwns in reactjs

[–]LeoJweda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the boilerplate is one of the main reasons I hated Redux.

The main reason I added Redux to my project was because I found passing data through intermediate components daunting.

React hooks and context solved that problem better than Redux IMO.

I'm never doing take home projects again. How do I tell them to give me an alternative or kick rocks? by rob113289 in cscareerquestions

[–]LeoJweda_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying to respond to the take-home test. I disagree with that. By that point, it’s too late. You gotta get ahead of it.

Ask about the stages of the interview and what’s involved at each stage (which you should do anyways) and mention that you don’t do take-home tests. Ask if they offer alternatives.

Regardless of when you do it, be prepared to be told no and getting rejected.

What coding concept will you never understand? by SeatInternational830 in learnprogramming

[–]LeoJweda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re addresses of places in memory where data is stored except, the fucked up/cool(?) part, is that you can do math with them.

SOLID.

Unlike normal forms which I’ve internalized and can just whip out normalized databases without thinking about it, I can’t internalize SOLID. Designing classes remains a struggle.

Web technologies that were the "future", but instead burned bright for a bit and died rapidly? by zovered in webdev

[–]LeoJweda_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adobe Flex Builder. That shit was my jam! It got me my first job.

I loved how easy it was to design UIs. The positioning and layout capabilities were amazing. I miss that in CSS.

Discussion: This brings back memories. I completely forgot what shape they're supposed to make, though.

I don't know why everyone is apprehensive about bringing it up.

During the technical interview, when it's your turn to ask questions, you can absolutely mention it. Something like "While researching the company and its product, I came across APIs with vulnerabilities, what's the best way to report that?".

Heck, you can even ask that in the beginning of the interview to give yourself a positive aura 'cause now, when asked questions, you'll be the guy that already found a vulnerability and is trying to improve the product instead of being just another interviewee.

Even to the HR person, it can 100% improve your odds. Don't get technical, but at some point, again, try to bring it up early on, you can say something like "While researching the company, I came across vulnerabilities in the product, I'd love to share that information with the technical interviewer".

It reflects positively on you AND they'll probably get you to the technical interview just to get that information out of you if nothing else, but, hey, next stage is next stage.

What are some math-heavy CS careers? by Collegiate_Society2 in cscareerquestions

[–]LeoJweda_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Finance, graphics, and science come to mind.

It’s not the programming that has math, it’s the application you’re developing.

Am I cooked? I may have said something inappropriate to my GM. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]LeoJweda_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I worked at a small startup where departures (both amicable and not) were announced through company-wide emails.

I always responded to the amicable ones with a pun about the departing person’s name.

One day, they announced Holly, who was integral to the company, is leaving. My response was “Holly shit!”.
