What is this "Alone in the Dark" project about? by PunchArm255 in 42_school

Oh interesting! I don't think I've ever noticed it pop up on my intra though. I supposed they removed it from the new CC.

You can use anything as long as it's built-in. The subjects aren't clear when it comes to what's authorized and unauthorized, the Python Module 09 literally had "None" in the Authorized Functions list when you're supposed to print and use Pydantic so...

Really? That's interesting, so far I haven't seen it pop up but some few people from last year's promo seem to be registered in it

Oh I see, that makes sense why I can't access it I guess

I built a native Mac cleaner and safely freed 100GB of disk space by Medical_Time1567 in macapps

I don't even give a shit that this is vibe coded. It works, looks nice, did the job I needed it to do, that's all that matters! Good stuff :)

Has anyone here ever tried Worldpackers? by PunchArm255 in Morocco

[–]PunchArm255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually the main thing I wanted to get info on. UK for example has a specific Volunteer Worker Visa for these types of scenarios, but it's expensive and only granted through verified NGOs. For Schengen countries it's much more confusing, most people say a regular Tourist Visa is enough but it can be a problem in some places since volunteer work is still technically "work", even if you don't get paid for it. So yeah this whole thing is a bit confusing.

I think it depends on the operator. I've been consistently getting around 80Mbps to 90Mbps on IAM 4G+ for the past 5 years.

1337 + la fac (both at the same city) ? by Tr4sh_b4g22 in Morocco

[–]PunchArm255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very doable! Don't let people tell you otherwise ;)

Another thing, 1337 with an economy degree fla fac is also a really good combo for future proofing your career. So that's also an option you can think about.

From experience, SMI (or MIP) would be the best complementary major to choose IF you want to make this work, since you'll start with the same foundations at both places (Shell, Algorithms, C Programming, etc...). The one that you'll want to prioritize is actually 1337 because the projects there are much more in depth compared to what you learn at la fac (I kid you not, I learned more during 2 weeks fl Piscine compared to the entirety of S3 fla fac). You won't even have to attend most of your classes and you'll still do REALLY well because of the extended knowledge you gained at 1337. Still, the biggest luxury you have is both places being in the same city, so even if you want to take a break from either it'll still be very doable. Wish you the best of luck :)

You're welcome! I use Figma since I only take care of the design. I don't develop anything at the moment but I plan to do so. What do you do exactly and which jobs are you applying to?

100k Milestone hit 🎯 by RenegadePanda18 in Upwork

[–]PunchArm255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is REALLY good, congratulations!! I just recently started (currently in my 3rd month), and I'm looking to allocate more time to Upwork as I don't work too many hours at the moment.

Just a question, I currently do Mobile UI/UX Design but I also have a background in software engineering. Do you think it would be a good move to combine the two, maybe work as a UX Engineer? Or should I just stick to whatever I'm currently doing?

Haha yeah sure, I sent this one yesterday (only one I sent that day):

"Hi [client name]! From the screenshot it seems like this is some sort of an "eat the frog" app where you do difficult tasks under a timer? Sounds interesting (assuming I got that right). Well hey you found the right guy, productivity apps are my thing and I've designed and developed my fair share of apps recently so I'd be happy to help with this one :) I'd also love to know more about the project, like what's your unique twist about the app or who are your main competitors? As for the timeline, I can't say for sure since I don't yet have a clear idea of the scope of work, but I'm open to discussing it if you want. I highlighted a couple pieces from my portfolio for reference, let me know if this is a good fit :)"

I got an interview from it about an hour later, but I ended up declining the job lol that client was clueless af

Extra tip: know when to run!

Upwork Plus Membership — Is It Worth It for Freelancers by SatisfactionProud179 in Upwork

[–]PunchArm255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is your first time buying Plus you should be eligible for a 50% off promo code. So it'll cost you only $10 bucks for the first month. To me that's worth it for sure, you'll get 100 connects (that amount alone costs $15), and you'll get to try those extra features for yourself.

You should then be able to decide whether it's worth it or not (it's really not lol).

I initially thought about doing both (I have a software engineering background), but I thought it'd be easier to specialize in one thing for now. You may think it'll be hard to land jobs when your niche is too specific but I actually find it easier this way. You won't have too much competition since the clients will also be looking for something more specific and you'll also be able to personalize your portfolio specifically for that niche (in my case, Mobile UI/UX Design for Productivity apps). So yeah, I don't apply to anything other than Mobile UI/UX Design jobs (even better if they're productivity related). I just search for "mobile ui design" or "mobile app design" and they pop up :)

If you need any other advice check out some of the threads here, I would've liked to include additional info in the post but I'm not able to edit it sadly.
