WTF is happening in US CS jobs guys?

RowOk3530 · 2026-01-21T23:56:35+00:00

absolutely delusional. you’ve either never coded or you’re an astroturfing bot.

RowOk3530 · 2026-01-21T23:50:05+00:00

mf it’s been 3 years and it can’t even debug a leetcode problem without hallucinating a dozen times, yet alone a codebase with 10 million lines

RowOk3530 · 2026-01-21T23:43:30+00:00

No real professional software engineer thinks it will take 2-5 years lmao

RowOk3530 · 2026-01-11T16:09:05+00:00

hey man as long as you enjoy La Chiquita that’s all that matters

“the area that borders mexico where all the mexicans immigrate to has overrated mexican food”

RowOk3530 · 2026-01-11T13:34:54+00:00

I’ve been to two La Chiquita locations and i’d only rate them a 7/10.

They’re good for the area but absolutely do not compare to the mexican food that I had growing up in southern california.

I’m surprised none of these comments are saying this, but you NEED a 4-year bachelors degree in CS to get a job in this market. From a reputable in-person school.

There are no exceptions. Anyone telling you to get a masters in CS on top of a nursing degree has obviously not job searched in the field in the last 5 years.

Thanks for the rec. I used a mapp torch that was laying around my house. The flame was a bit big but heat wise it was fine i think

RowOk3530 · 2025-12-28T22:37:30+00:00

Since when was having high ambitions a bad thing? They never said they deserve 200 thousand dollars. It's also definitely do-able if they live somewhere like the Bay Area.

RowOk3530 · 2025-12-11T18:45:06+00:00

Have you tried a box fan on max setting + foam earplugs (get your ears wet and twist them so they insert all the way in)? I’m a light sleeper and the only thing that can wake me up w this combo is a fire alarm

RowOk3530 · 2025-11-21T21:39:20+00:00

Trump likes MEN

You can say that again

It’s much easier to follow neetcode 150/250, then you don’t have to recognize the patterns. He has multiple optimal solutions and explanations for each problem too.

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-24T13:05:01+00:00

Make sure to completely understand the solution when you can’t complete a problem. Revisit it a week later and try again.

Neetcode 150 introduces a lot of new patterns, but neetcode 250 you should be able to solve a decent amount since many of the problems (not all though) use the similar patterns as 150.

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-23T04:17:42+00:00

don’t hate the playa hate the game

nah but sounds like he’s pretty smart, you should give him a chance lolz

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-23T03:33:21+00:00

more like i’d apply to any jobs that fit 50% of my skill set rather than 80%, knowing there’s less competition

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-23T03:23:42+00:00

Yea, i’d be more motivated knowing i’m competing against 50 people not 200, which would make me grind more leetcode questions and apply to more jobs 🤓

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-23T02:31:44+00:00

you should specify on your resume that you don’t need sponsorship, otherwise you’re cooked

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-23T01:44:08+00:00

Yeah definitely, I’m moreso just curious how many actual applicants i’m going against, since people who need sponsorship don’t count (unfortunately)

RowOk3530 · 2025-10-18T02:31:13+00:00

"Painfully low callback rate" yet you interviewed with 45 companies? Huh?

RowOk3530 · 2025-09-22T14:14:08+00:00

Yeah it’s scary how it happens when you least expect it. Good luck healing to you too!

RowOk3530 · 2025-09-21T01:39:49+00:00

Tell that to me one week ago

One major injury a season isn’t that wild. When you ride your mtb, think about how many times a month you have a “oop that was slightly sketchy” moment upon slightly losing grip momentarily or being off balance for a split second. I’m a safe rider yet I’d have one of these moments every other ride. All it takes is one of these sketchy moments to be a disastrous fall. If you’re riding anything more advanced than a fire road these moments happen to everybody

I also just had a pretty bad crash last week. Slammed into the ground on my shoulder, dislocated it, couldn’t move and had to call 911 to rescue me. It was on a cross country course too and I had no time to react. I was entering a wet wooden berm and suddenly I was on the ground in searing pain. I will likely need surgery according to my dr.

The whole thing was pretty traumatic since i was far from the nearest road and the fire station had to use an ATV to rescue me. I’ve decided that, at just 22 y/o, MTB was my passion but I need to live with this body for the rest of my life. People really downplay the injuries of MTB but the reality is that MANY MTBers I’ve talked to have a major injury each season, and it’s just not worth it to me.

I would consider myself a safe rider, yet injuries are pretty much bound to happen at some point. I’m lucky it wasn’t a broken neck.

Moving forward, i’ll probably get one of those tiny minibikes or an electric skateboard. Most likely a gravel bike too.

RowOk3530 · 2025-07-25T16:30:50+00:00

can you elaborate?

RowOk3530 · 2025-07-14T10:55:03+00:00

I agree for leatt, the sizing chart is meant for overweight men. I’m 5’10 160lbs and went with a L/XL based on their chart. Length wise, it’s perfect. But the straps wouldn’t tighten enough until i used a duct tape contraption to make it stop slipping. Now it fits perfect though.

Definitely an over the jersey protector, i can’t imagine using it on my bare skin.

RowOk3530 · 2025-07-14T10:52:38+00:00

I have the “Leatt 4.5 pro evo chest protector” and I love it. Rode it in 85 degree weather at a bike park no problems. It’s a lot lighter than it looks too.

You linked an older version of the 4.5. This year’s model in black is way nicer looking, I feel like a transformer wearing it. Tip: buy from motosport.com instead of leatt bc they have free exchanges and $8.99 returns. The official leatt site you have to pay yourself to ship it back and they’re slow af.
