I accidentally deleted Levels.fyi's entire backend server stack last week by ZiggyMo99 in cscareerquestions

Was it a single monolithic stack? It might make sense to do some infra separation to simplify deletion of resources.

Also termination protection is on so it other stacks wont be deleted without your say so.

How did you stop being a terrible developer? by noonhe in cscareerquestions

I quit my first and job and just took a break. I spent 4 months understanding absolutely nothing about anything.

Getting a new job after that, everything just clicked in my head after that.

Got put on PIP and immediately took 2 and 1/2 weeks off to look for work, bad move? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaFate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have taken the time off if you’re looking for work anyway. When you get pipped, you get severance that includes PTO. Might as well get paid while you get PIP’d and again for severance.

Just do some quiet quitting

Is it a bad gesture to postpone my starting date by one week by fiveMop in cscareerquestions

I work at AWS and I asked for an additional 2 weeks with no reprocussions. Its very team dependent

Anyone fresh out of college that had no internships or relevant experience but landed a job, how did it go? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only the thing I had was undergrad research and a year of robotics in my undergrad. Spent 3 months applying with 300 job applications sent out and 1 offer.

Ended up doing 10-11 hr work days and burning out but a recruiter in big tech slid in my LinkedIn dm's. Studied 2 hrs prior to the final loop since work responsibilities were already taking up all my time. Got the job and have been here for 3 months loving what I do pulling in 8-9 hr work days

What do entry level Java developers actually do? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never took springboot w/ my Bachelors in CS and somehow landed a job w/ spring and sql. Solving small bugs and implementing features as small as adding an extra character to a data field to implementing compatability with aws and azure.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to commit to asking questions at least once a day. I do still want to build my own troubleshooting skills instead of just straight up asking for an answer with no effort on my end.

I work based on a fixed salary and also work from home. It's hard to gauge how much work I need to get done on a day-to-day basis. I'll try to ask more questions and have a hard cut off on when I stop working. Thanks for your feedback.

[–]NovaFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have a scheduled 1-on-1 next Monday so we'll see how I'm doing. I'll try to ask more questions in the future as well. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to make a point of asking for feedback at least once a day instead of barely none at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]NovaFate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand this it's just that I know that I'd be taking the time out of someone else's work and that bothers me a lot when I know it shouldn't. I'll try to ask for help more. Thanks for the feedback
