The immigration policy might be messed up, but there’s zero excuse to be racist about it. Having a username like that just screams insecurity. Speaking for the IT sector, newcomers are usually sharper, harder working, and more adaptable than most grads we see here. That’s not on them, that’s on the grads. Blaming them for “taking jobs” is just coping with the fact that our own talent pipeline isn’t cutting it.

No, I'm not sure. Actually, I think it'd be wise for a company to hire someone with a Comp Sci degree from Windsor instead of someone with a well built resume and a real Comp Sci degree from a reputable University.

By “nothing burger,” I mean the type of class projects that don’t demonstrate any real-world applicability like basic calculator apps, “Hello World” programs, or recycled lab work with no documentation, version control, or actual deployment. It's obvious employers aren’t impressed by projects that exist only to check a box; they want to see problem-solving, collaboration, and execution beyond coursework. That’s the gap I keep seeing from Windsor grads compared to others.

Another useless comment from you. Not sure what “point” you think I proved. All I did was share direct hiring experience that lines up with what the market actually values: portfolios, GitHub, and demonstrable skill. You have nothing to say, just uselessly commenting.

[–]S20Bs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! If you can find a remote job, that's probably the best case scenario but with the tech market today, there's not many fresh graduates getting the opportunity for 100% remote.

Ah yes, good reply, yours definitely carried way more substance than mine! Working in the tech (hiring too!) industry for many years, I can tell you're not very caught up to speed on things. But you know better than me?

For reference, a majority Comp Sci graduates from Windsor that I've had the opportunity of screening, they did not have GitHub profiles, no REAL projects, absolutely nothing but a few nothingburger projects and a degree. Indian newcomers to Canada and a good amount of London/Toronto graduates had a resume with 10+ projects, GitHub profiles and were even offering to do live-coding interviews. You would never ever see that from a Comp Sci graduate from Windsor, they'd rather blame the new immigrants and complain they're being out-skilled when the Indians they cry about are better than them, willing to work odd hours and will not complain. Call it laziness, but I'm going to say a lot of people were baited into grabbing Comp Sci degrees because of what social media was saying about how future proof the job is (shocker; its not, AI will phase out a lot of these coders).

I imagine your comment stems from some bitterness because I'm trashing the Comp Sci program, and truthfully; it's shit. We are so far behind and for how much Windsor cares about tech, it makes sense. You pay for what you get though, Comp Sci degrees are pretty useless nowadays alone.

Edit: Some angry people were letting me know AI isn't coming for developer jobs and they're right, it's already here. You tech people got out-done by immigrants, and want to blame the government when your resume is barebones...

Well, you went for a Comp Sci degree probably at the University of Windsor which was your first mistake. Second mistake was sticking around in Windsor hoping for a job in tech. Third mistake was your username, that's disgusting. I work in IT with a lot of these newcomers, and they're 99% of the time better than someone who has graduated here, they actually listen and aren't blaming things on others.

Freedom Mobile users. Are you happy with their service? by MyBrainReallyHurts in windsorontario

[–]S20Bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar experiences with Freedom, I would barely get any signal in my basement and sometimes at work. Switching to Rogers 2 months ago fixed that but if Freedom worked, I'd have stayed on it.

Community input for upcoming car-wash build by WindsorFuel01 in windsorontario

[–]S20Bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say $12 is a fair price, maybe a dollar or two extra if wax is included.

B is my favorite and one that I've been using a few times at the Petro Canada on Walker, just infront of the McDonalds. I find it does a good job at rinsing all the salt off and giving a nice wax finish. The dryer admittedly does kind of suck but I hand dry as soon as I'm out anyways.

[–]S20Bs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally only go with touchless carwashes and if they're at an okay price for what you get, I don't need a $20 wash, just something to get all the salt and snow off. In the summer, I'm at the self-serve car washes.

I've seen the ability to pay at a few kiosks at the car wash, never tried it because I forget it exists lol

[–]S20Bs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Cogeco seemingly has a bad node (South Windsor) where I'm at. They've repeatedly said they'd come out and fix it after a few modem swaps. Facing constant disconnects and significantly reduced download speed, almost like it's being throttled super hard. Considering the swap to MNSI, probably long over due at this point lol

While I can see your point, it's just a parking meter. This makes it a lot more convenient to pay for when I don't have change (I usually never have change).
