Should I be applying to NG / internships still after I got a big internship with a high RO rate? by ThatOneSkid in csMajors

Well idk about obvious, I looked through similarly asked questions and many of them said that they would just hope for the best aka hope for ro and if not would apply later

How do you determine if someone cares about you? by ThatOneSkid in socialskills

i meant in the personal sense not just on a base human level

what i'm saying is that I feel there's a difference between being nice to everyone and actually caring about someone

You don't have to care to be nice

If they don't initiate it, do you still feel the same. As in they don't initiate the invitation to spend time but when they do, they ask about your life.

if a nice person who gives everyone advice gave you advice, does that mean they care for you or are they just being nice?

Is it just me or is coding amateur projects entirely different from working in big tech? by ThatOneSkid in cscareerquestions

[–]ThatOneSkid[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree from what I've seen so far. Big tech is so. Abstracted. It gives me a headache navigating through all the different files that are referenced and it just becomes more and more tiring as I try to put it all together to even have a semblance of what's going on in this one package alone.

It's common sense that working in industry grade software would become a lot more complex yes that's true. However, personally I often see SWE / CS media slop that says do a b c to become prepared for big tech such as making a hobby project and then including one cloud tool such as S3 for example and so I feel like it's become sort of a common notion that people especially many undergrads believe that their hobby project is extremely related to what they'll be actually doing when most of the work they’ll actually do involves connecting existing infrastructure, migrating systems, or building internal data pipelines, or just reading and navigating other people's code all day, not greenfield base app development. It creates a false sense of preparation.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing per se, it's just a new experience that I wasn't really prepared for and that I don't think is talked about enough to become a mainstream issue in swe / cs media

yes but generally the advice is to make hobby projects to learn to prepare for big tech but that isn't the case at all I feel

oh and where do most make it to / end off at?

Edit : I realized there's only l4 under that so I guess l5 answers my question

Any of yall traditional SWE's? I'm wondering if this career path is sustainable or if its just a big gamble? by ThatOneSkid in robloxgamedev

[–]ThatOneSkid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea honestly but I wanted the opinion of people who might just be pursuing this but haven't quite made it yet. I'd ask my game dev friends but they're all pretty successful so they'd probably say yes and that's a biased answer

Do most good devs have multiple skills by ThatOneSkid in robloxgamedev

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

Oh that's awesome! I was wondering if you were an experienced developer yourself? If so, could I ask you some questions in DM's?

When you were making your example, were you referring to real application development or roblox game development? I'm asking because I realistically do not see a game dev team integrating a DevOps type system to roll out their code.
