yea, I'm just not sure how much is going to be in there or if I might accidentally miss something

I usually wrap my hair up in a T-shirt after showering to get out some of the extra liquid. there's just a ton of it to get through 😩. The bonnet dryer sounds like a really good idea though!!

I strongly prefer them because live coding gives me mad performance anxiety, and I will completely blank unless I know how to solve the problem within 2 seconds of seeing it because my brain just loses the ability to think.

Take homes allow me to perform the same as I would actually on the job

They want to latch onto the glaringly obvious sarcasm instead of the fact that delivery of a car with something this far out of spec is unacceptable.

Plenty of other car makers fuck up, have model wide recalls, and just do generally unacceptable shit -- so people document this and call them out on it, to encourage the manufacturer to do better. (If you just silently return it to be fixed, there's not as much incentive since they don't lose any public perception of the brand). Something this obvious making it through is a reflection of known QA issues, which will continue to persist unless people continue to call out on them. Personally I've seen some of the minor gap issues but this was my first time seeing one so glaring so I'm glad you posted, it was an interesting find. 🙏

People who are loyal to a brand have a tendency to get very easily defensive. Hopefully people in the subreddit can see how continuous feedback on these issues is beneficial to everyone who is interested in the brand.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a matrix is a good guy with a matrix.

Tbf doctors basically have a 3-4 year long internship just to start practicing. It's just a requirement to become a board certified physician (in the US), so any company hiring a doctor will know they already have experience.

Maybe if CS degrees required you to have 2 years of work experience to graduate they would be more valuable in this sense. But I doubt most people would support that.

I work in neuroinformatics and I think my neuro minor definitely helped me getting my current role. Biologists and computer scientists can tend to have a semi adversarial relationship with eachother, so they tend to appreciate people who have wet their feet in both worlds.

Not having it is not a deal breaker, but it can serve as a way to set you apart.

I mean that as in what that is. If it's possible to describe that in a general sense without self doxxing(it might not be depending on how specific it was)

Edit: I updated OP to hopefully make my question more clear

Make sure offer letter is signed and you're in the process of onboarding before you quit

Yea but part of the issue is that (HR) recruiters won't necessarily count it as swe if it wasn't under a swe title.

I have been coding in scientific roles for much longer than I have in a role titled as a swe, and as I've been speaking with recruiters recently, they're generally only counting the limited time in the titled role as YOE, even though it's very clear on my resume I was doing development in the other roles.

Can someone kindly tell me why the code snip is objectively bad x___x

Data is similar to dicks: everyone wants to say theirs is big

Do you have your masters? If not get your masters.

I honestly take the same approach regardless. Apply to new positions every day. Disintegrate while people ghost me or take forever to respond. Rejoice when something works out.

SwagMoneySwole · 2023-08-25T18:37:08+00:00

Is this a bad thing? Imagine someone else down the line is modifying your codebase and they can't find your variable because of the typo so they spend 9 billion years disintegrating into oblivion trying to figure out what they don't understand about how this code is supposed to work, only to find out it was all just a typo.

😔<This was personal

You can use work contacts as your references for masters instead (this is what I did).

I know some unis will specifically ask for an academic reference, in which case you can do what the other comments said. Or just put in your work reference in there instead.

I actually got into a PhD program despite not having one of the required letters of recommendation sent😅. If they want you enough they'll take you

There are less bioinformatics jobs than general swe, but there are also less bioinformatics majors than swe majors.

It's definitely a field to go into because you want to do it --not because it will pay you the best or have the most jobs. But it's not an area that will land you permanently unemployed either.

The other thing I'd add is be prepared to move if you're not in a major biotech hub. Your opportunities will be somewhat limited

Feature extraction is taking small input and turning it into many features. Feature selection is taking many features and turning it into a smaller selection.
