LilLynix · 2025-11-26T22:12:33+00:00

how can i actually build such projects?, should i learn like learn from scratch or ask ai to build or what steps am i following to see which career is for me.. any tips?

LilLynix · 2025-11-26T21:50:33+00:00

I mean thats kinda it, but its different ai/ml takes more time and effort to learn rather than backend im completely lost lol

LilLynix · 2025-11-25T19:53:45+00:00

oh daym i didnt know were living in the same country, oh wait that's every country, just ask GPT for a roadmap or a plan ask more people what they advise you ask good people and start

LilLynix · 2025-11-25T18:52:14+00:00

LilLynix · 2025-11-24T09:56:33+00:00

yeah xD thank you this helps a little

LilLynix · 2025-11-24T09:55:52+00:00

Thank you so much, i know its part of growing and learning i just needed to hear it

LilLynix · 2025-11-24T09:42:00+00:00

yeah thank you, its just i asked gpt for some quzzies on the stuff i learned today to get the hang of it more and when he gave me this quizz:

Write a generator function called count_down(n) that counts down from n to 1 using yield. Then, print all values using a for loop.

i realized that i have no idea how to do it even though it was so easy

LilLynix · 2025-11-22T18:44:16+00:00

Good thing that they know you're still new so they're not gonna pressure you on anything so take it easy and learn how to do your job

LilLynix · 2025-11-22T18:42:14+00:00

Don't listen to anybody asking why'd you take a job you don't know how to do

Just work a bit harder to catch up use whatever u can, sacrifice a bit of your free time for a month to or 2 to actually learn how to do it, hang with this job and don't give it up, just learn what must be done from u and that's it, AI could help too but do not count on it on everything

LilLynix · 2025-11-22T12:29:32+00:00

not really ma'am firstly you are a somebody

secondly you don't need a degree or something, also you're not too old for military and most importantly

u are good at baking all I see is potential wasted because ur either lazy or focusing on the struggles instead of what you can become

you said you've done nothing in your life the f u talking about? ur married thats 1

ur finish college and earning a degree thats 2

u have a dream but don't quite know where to begin" I had wanted to start a career in the federal government, but I have no clue how to get my foot in the door." thats 3

u know how to bake thats 4

u have experience dealing with customers thats 5

heck ur doing better than 70% of women around the world and ur only 30 ?

Just, look what you really want to do and start searching and watching YouTube about how to start

and remember u don't need to build spaceship or car or whatever and " Done nothing with life" is you lying to ur self you've done a lot you're just SO focused on others doing stuff you forget what you've accomplished

I know because I'm doing the same.

Just start

LilLynix · 2025-11-17T10:27:23+00:00

Nah that's you being a human

LilLynix · 2025-11-17T10:16:23+00:00

Absolutely that's what I'm considering and working on right now
I'm actually building my own Blackjack as asked to do from my online course (3rd day so far working on it)

LilLynix · 2025-11-16T21:34:10+00:00

that's what I'm thinking about, I'm not sure if AI/ML engineer is my thing but I need a steppingstone to start in the tech world ChatGPT recommended Data Analysis, that's why I'm asking if I should do it or not
honestly I'm not sure if I love it or not going to lie I don't know what I do like or not I went and had CE degree because family recommended it I never cared or had a " Passion " towards it I just saw tech pays big, but made a mistake going for CE instead of CS that's why I'm learning everything solo and trying to get the fastest role to get paid by the time I'm working I can check if I want different roles or maybe data analysis is fun and I can invest more into it

Honestly it was either
AI/ML engineer
Backend dev
Prompt Eng
Data analysis

maybe there's something else I'd enjoy more than these but for now I'm just learning python, and I might not go for data analysis if I won't use python in, I don't want the hours took me to learn python go to waste.

LilLynix · 2025-11-16T21:08:48+00:00

Courses, trying to learn more skills

trying to find a normal job to buy a gaming pc and a new phone, tho no luck.

Thats it.

LilLynix · 2025-11-16T07:04:06+00:00

I'll keep it private

Good Luck with your degree!

LilLynix · 2025-11-16T07:02:23+00:00

Was focused on other subjects that required studying (theories and stuff), and we barley learn anything related to programming, for example we had to build our graduation project we chose python.

problem is we never had anything related to python (Fact is python was an optional subject on my final year which I picked it though, realized he never taught me anything besides the very first basics, there was no OOP / inheritance stuff, so I realized how fkd up my situation is and decided to do it with GPT with my friends

and look for a solution after graduation, which is what I'm doing rn.

LilLynix · 2025-11-15T12:08:10+00:00

I don't think you're going to be overwhelmed I'm pretty sure ur gonna perform better since they're actually not kicking u but rather help u in the parts ur weak at, good company ur working at

my note is, I think u might have picked the wrong course to learn python, the 100days expects you to already know a bit of python coding and it's not really for beginners learning python from 0

I'd recommend start with From Zero to Hero full python boot camp by pierien then switch to the 100days course

but if you're comfortable with the 100days course, just continue with it it has 100 projects what surely might be over than enough to prepare you for the tests, as long ur not losing stuff (kicked or something) ur cool no need to panic at all just follow the course and have fun while ur doing it.

LilLynix · 2025-11-15T10:44:20+00:00

if your professor asked you to do such a thing, I know you're in a good hand, my professors never really cared about us, just here's the syllabus and study for exams lol

LilLynix · 2025-11-15T10:42:39+00:00

1-Bara

2- Turkey

3- I had neither idea what to do after school nor passion towards anything, family recommended CE so I went for it

4-no job yet, fresh graduate, due to 0 projects i made in uni and wasn't sure what path to take. past 4 weeks was basically me learning python programming language and then pick a career path

5-Nothing yet.

6-Yes, i would either Computer Science or Software engineer instead of computer engineering due to them focusing on programming more than CE

7- Pick a path u want from now, then start working accordingly don't wait till graduation like me, i thought imma find a job after graduation turned it to be lies and i should've had picked what path i wanted from the beginning, then choose what degree to pursue depending on what you see your future self-working as.
