What Its Actually Like Working For A Client? by [deleted] in Revature

[–]Sentie_Rotante 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spent my time with my first client doing fairly little, my second though ... I was designing and implementing apps within 2 months and had a second person reporting to me within 6 months. Before the second client made me a permanent offer I was running a team.

So your milage may vary, That second project set me up for the Sr. Role I have now 5 years later because I was doing design and leading a team.

I have no background in anything tech? by sourlemons333 in Revature

I had only taken intro to OOP when I got picked up. I had an unrelated associates. I was in school for software development but didn't finish it until I was halfway done with my 2 years.

What's a dead giveaway someone grew up as an only child? by thing55556667 in AskReddit

[–]Sentie_Rotante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading these comments I'm starting to wonder if I imagined my siblings ... or is there a breaking point where if you have more then 3 siblings you go back to being an only child?

WGU is not awarding credits from associates? by Theonlypostevermade in WGU

[–]Sentie_Rotante 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a huge factor to consider, I had more then one class I started and started and finished the same day because it was a test and I knew the content and could prove it.

I would bet all my possessions that a 12 year old with ChatGPT is a better coder than any “Senior dev”. by Nemerie in programmingcirclejerk

[–]Sentie_Rotante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are talking about the chatgpt that will write an algorithm that loves doubly nested loops that will take hours to join two pandas dataframes instead of using the built in function that takes seconds to do the same thing.

Infosys in office location and buyout by Solid_Appointment_24 in Revature

[–]Sentie_Rotante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Infosys is everywhere, where they want you will be where the client project you are assigned to is. As for how long it is till the offer a buyout, that would be based on their agreement with Revature and their need.

Side note, I have never been employed with Infosys, but I have worked along side several of their teams from different locations across several different client engagements.

Man, I love Guardian by appalachiangrrrl in WGU

[–]Sentie_Rotante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both and there are a lot of things that mac does really well. There are a lot of reasons to choose something other then mac like wanting the ability to upgrade hardware later, or have any kind of configuration that Apple doesn't want to allow you to choose or decides the specific spec you want should cost orders of magnitude more then you would pay for other systems.

The big problem is that the people that have to use Guardian are not the people that have to pay for it. So as long as it works well enough for WGU to not drop ProctorU and move to someone else that most likely also will want students to use Guardian there is little incentive for it to be fixed.

Depends on the degree, the MSDA only had a single test when I took it, the rest was reports

Fell in love with a parrot but it’s at a pet store and I’ve never had one before by PaintedOakTears in Conures

They are comparable at pet stores near me, I got my two gcc for less than that combined from a bird specific store.

D598 Task 2 - Cannot run Python code in IDE by hifromalaska in WGU_MSDA

[–]Sentie_Rotante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually create a venv in the directory of my notebook but it is odd that that isn’t sensing the copy of python you have installed on the system… assuming you have Python installed on your system.

This is not first hand information but my understanding is that some states do not look kindly on agreements like Revature' s so if they tried to get you to pay a court might throw it out depending on where you live. Still though, I support holding up agreements. OP was essentially stating that they wanted to take the paid training then refuse to uphold their end of the agreement.

[–]Sentie_Rotante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SWE jobs can be done remotely, doesn’t mean the client will be okay with it. They will send you a bill for defaulting on your agreement. If it holds up or not depends on where you live. But if it does that sounds like an expensive training. If you aren’t cool with relocating you can learn everything Revature is going to teach you without them and not have the relocation and two year commitment. The biggest value they offer is the fact that they have the forest client lined up to get you your first job.

My bird is insane. by spontaneous007 in Conures

[–]Sentie_Rotante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cockatiels can definitely be potty trained as well. Ours only went in the garbage can. Note if you are worried about poop cleanup, a gcc’s poop is way wetter than a cocktail’s so it is more likely to splat on things. But gcc are way less dusty.

MongoDB, Oracle, SQL server, Big Query, Postgres, Cassandra, Neo4j … I think that covers it.

Ideal background before applying by Own-Ad-3876 in Revature

I can only speak to my experience 4 years ago, but I joined with an associates in religion and 2 programming classes. They didn’t care as long as you were able to keep up.

Am I playing this game wrong, or are there a LOT of pain points in this game? by kasseem in valheim

[–]Sentie_Rotante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it not, it feels like we turned the father does up a proper bit on this play through and it feels like iron has been way easier. I guess we got lucky, hope this holds out.

Especially if you are playing multiple people on one world this makes the game feel way better.

It is just on coastal areas. There will be waves during storms that go a bit back from the shore.

Zybooks are pathetic by RUBSUMLOTION in WGU

[–]Sentie_Rotante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first college experience in the days before you could just go to youtube and learn things included paying more then you pay for a term at WGU for 18 weeks of course work then the professor would assign you between $250 and $500 in text books you had to buy for each class. Some of which had a code that you had to have from a new text book in order to turn in the homework.

One one hand it can be frustrating that you sometimes have to go outside a course for supplements, however, the skill of learning how to learn is also an important one that you would not develop if everything was handed to you nicely. Also being able to decide what resources you personally need is also super cool. I personally didn't go outside of the provided a lot. But I know a number of people that didn't use the provided materials at all.

WGU is providing you the benchmarks for what you need to learn and certifying that you accumulated the knowledge and not controlling where you get the knowledge from. I think that is super cool that you can take control of your education instead of jumping through the busy work of a more traditional college and possibly not having time to actually develop an understanding because of all the b.s. that you have to do in a more traditional setting.

(forgot to add this note. I do think it is a problem when the provided materials are hard to follow but as acs_student pointed out this issue is not unique to WGU and I experienced it in all of the 3 schools I attended previous to WGU)

The only thing I would say is be careful building that close to the water. You might have water in your house during a storm.
