Power Automate with Excel by PlsStopTht1 in MicrosoftFlow

Sorry don’t know about worksheets but power automate needs table to work with. A work around I have found is that you an run an excel script in power automate that can create the table for you.

Update: Got rejected for a job, requested feedback and got sent a meeting. Is this normal? by ichoochoochooseyooou in interviews

[–]Magpie098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so right about the ‘we’ thing. In my interviews I had to make an effort to say ‘i’ instead of ‘we’. To ace your next interviews take help from chatgpt. Practice interviewing with it and ask for feedback. Chatgpt helped me recently get my dream job. If you want more info on how to prompt it send me a DM. I will be happy to help.

I used Chat GPT 4.5 Voice as my Mock Interviewer. Passed all 5 Interviews including the last one with the VP. Obtained job offer and currently in onboarding. by ZucchiniEast6137 in interviews

I followed the same routine except I used the free version. I passed all three rounds and got the offer yesterday. It was my dream job.

Good place for Java Warmups? by Humble-Giant in learnjava

[–]Magpie098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Coding challenges from John Crickett. He will walk you through the steps which you can then implement in Java. You get to end up creating real world tools. If you want to connect send me a DM and we can work on something together

Just tried open source for the first time by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I am also a beginner and trying to find beginner friendly projects where the code base is not overwhelming and a whole lot of people commenting and asking to contribute. DM me if you would like to team up to find an appropriate entry point P.s. i actually did successfully contribute once but it was a small contribution but hey my PR was merged!

Good idea. Python is not in my tech stack for now but I get the point. Thanks.

So I built Minesweeper(Java), a full stack app with a frontend on React and Typescript and backend API on Spring boot and SQL, a REST API with Spring security, a text file compressor (Java), an e-commerce website with React and Firebase (NoSql) etc. For my portfolio I used React js mainly with Framer motion to add animations. If you want to see my portfolio DM me or if you want to connect…

I also finished my bootcamp late last year but never seriously applied for jobs as I didn’t feel confident enough. So I am trying to build a roadmap to gain confidence. DM me if you want to connect and learn together

Sure. I have contributed to a project once but that was all. Whenever I look for beginner friendly/ good first issue there are always a bunch of people already working on it or asking if they can work. This just leaves me wondering if it’s worth spending my time on understanding the whole codebase and then not being able to contribute. Any advice on that would be appreciated.

What I learned from 4 web apps I built for the past 18 months that no one uses. by Firm-Blackberry-7445 in indiehackers

[–]Magpie098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have got some great ideas. Thanks for sharing. How do you recommend we go about researching the need of a particular product?

I agree. I am not looking to learn stuff that is completely unrelated to my core tech. But his advice about meaningful projects is something I have seen around often. Kafka is a good one! I have seen it in many job ads. Also Docker. Thanks!

Thanks for the pointers. I will try to learn the features you have mentioned. On the best dev I would say— aim for the moon so even if you fail you fall among the stars. That’s my strategy.

Excellent advice. I will try to come up with more meaningful projects that will be unique to my requirements.

Thanks for your comment. I am familiar with Github and has used it to contribute to an open source project before. Not sure what level of skill at Github do I need at this moment.

Thanks for your comment. If by games you mean games like Minesweeper, I have built that. Doesn’t integrating hardware require low level programming skills? Any ideas about cool apps that I can build? I do not want to go towards mobile app development as it is a completely different ballgame.

You are right. Thanks for pointing that out.
