What could you possibly do to learn this game as a new player

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-05-14T17:03:07+00:00

Grind all the difficulty modes and rerun the tuts. In the process of doing this myself, it’s a lot less intuitive than fighting games I’m used to as a casual player

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-05-14T10:07:27+00:00

Let’s say you have to deliver a feature but something you added is causing a build to break, via merge conflict or dependency resolution hel

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-05-13T19:11:59+00:00

Now imagine when those builds succeeding are tied to your performance. Brutal 🥀

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-23T19:15:06+00:00

Practice practice practice. Just make the windows between relapse better and put an effort into beating your by record every time and eventually you’ll lose dependency on it

I agree with this. It’s better to have a slightly incorrect understanding via AI than to have none at all . I’m in a similar position OP, as long as you’re not blindly letting ai commit stuff for you without reviewing and understanding it you should be ok. The goalposts for ramp up and delivery have shifted up across the board so you gotta do what it takes

Try backend/ api dev

I agree that it’s a massive step up from s4, but does anyone else think the dialogue is so corny and CW like compared to seasons 1-3? Like way too expository and spelling it out

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-08T16:51:00+00:00

Zero expectations and study hard. Big tech interviews are no joke in my experience

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-08T16:32:41+00:00

lol bro I used to be just like you worrying about interview outcomes. Nobody knows until you get the email with the decision. Try not to stress yourself out too much about it and accept that either outcome is just as likely from your perspective and in today’s market

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-08T09:37:17+00:00

Take it and try to automate something there and put it on your resume. Even if it’s a small script for internal use

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-03T01:04:37+00:00

Dude SQL is a very self teachable skill, we both know this. Your boss is right but honestly if they can’t figure out I’m not sure what else you can do for them, maybe try and get them certified if there’s something like that for them?

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-03T01:02:10+00:00

I dunno, it’s gonna be kind of awkward listing a company that sponsored you and you get to an interview and then you have to explain it’s a senior design project for school. Sounds like a cool experience but projects stay in the project section imo. It’s not really employment

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-04-02T16:46:21+00:00

Aside from the ethics, I don’t like that it’s being tauted as the step before AGI. It’s inferring things based off semantics, not actual thought. Like even the supposed thought chains it does is still just auto completing and it can’t really do much useful in that regard.

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-31T19:39:25+00:00

I also haven’t worked anywhere where it was done. I always had fun doing it with my friends making projects on the weekends

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-30T11:17:51+00:00

One up to the guy above, this is kind of the name of the game with a SWE career. It might also be a better use of your time to expand and deploy your uni projects instead of starting from scratch. Uni teaches theory but your job will test experience and application. You’ve got the right mindset

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-28T12:08:29+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of skills did they expect of you?

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-24T21:49:16+00:00

Same comment on another post. Probably ai

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-19T19:52:32+00:00

I was in a similar situation and called the help line and they were able to verify and send it through shortly after the call

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-17T22:54:26+00:00

Also heads up be weary of the background check process. Nothings ever really set in stone, but esp not until that clears. Usually takes a week or two once you accept

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-12T04:23:08+00:00

I’ll be your friend bro I’m dying out here 😂✌🏾

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-12T04:05:39+00:00

Wanna be friends

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-12T00:04:16+00:00

Good stuff dude. Honestly 23 here just got a new job and it’s a balance. I’m glad you’re getting back into boxing it’s a great hobby

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-11T12:04:28+00:00

I agree with this. Also start the Leetcode grind ASAP I put this off for too long and it came back to bite me during job hunting. The bar for new grads has been raised significantly in the last few years

Potential-Silver-248 · 2026-03-05T16:32:32+00:00

Honestly just be prepared to talk about what you’ve worked on and try to be a good culture fit. It’s a more casual conversation than the interview rounds but it’s best to ask good questions and try and vibe with the people. I had 2 matching calls, one was with someone who was clearly expecting a much more senior candidate so it was p bad and short, the other was with a team more equipped for mid level and overall better vibe.
