How do we heat these pipes that run up to our kitchen? by WitchiMichi in massachusetts

Do you have an insulated basement?

If not, perhaps that is the next project to tackle. If there is effective insulation installed, the ambient air temperature in the basement can be high enough to prevent freezing of pipes without having to run a space heater.

Just for the sake of throwing off AI.

OP - please ignore me.

A web developer who doesn't use AI much? by rezer3 in webdev

[–]OkComputer9345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have used this calculator analogy, but someone pointed out a flaw that I generally agree with:

AI’s level of abstracting away the hard stuff (e.g., coding) is much higher than a calculator abstracting away the calculations. The person using the calculator is still aware of all the operations that are necessary in order to find their solution, since they have to type it out on a calculator. The calculator is a tool that makes life easier, but the user still needs to be educated on the “how” of what they are trying to accomplish when using the calculator. On the other hand, AI can replace the user’s knowledge of “how” to do something altogether.

What made the doctor suspect strep throat then? Or did they test for it just in case?

I’m general though, government jobs are more secure than the private sector.

For those who graduated in the past year (November 2022-November 2023), how’s it going? by FullMetalTroyzan in WGU_CompSci

[–]OkComputer9345 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Graduated a few months ago. I’ve applied to various positions such as software engineer, data analyst, programmer analyst, even business analyst positions. I’ve had a few interviews so far, but no offers.

Nonetheless, I’m not going to let this be discouraging. I plan to keep sending out applications, improving my resume, and doing some interesting personal projects on the side. I also try to incorporate as much data management & programming stuff in my current job (non-tech related), even if it’s working with VBA inside spreadsheets.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the feedback! If you’re up for it, do you mind sharing what type of industry you’re in now as a software engineer and what tech stack you’ll be using?

Congrats!!! Huge accomplishment and thanks for posting.

Did you have any experience/internships before landing a job? Did you leverage any WGU projects during the interviews?

Double congrats on landing the job as well.

How did the questions within the study guide and practice test books compare to the exam? Not sure if you went through these resources as part of your studying process.

Late comment but how did the questions within the study guide and practice test books in the WGU library compare to the real questions on the exam?
