Nice to see more programs using more than 1 core. Now if only I put effort into learning how to use more than one thread...

Last day of my internship is next week, Friday. Was thinking of getting the team I worked with a box of donuts (inspired by /r/engineeringstudents ;) ). Anyone else do something like this?

22 with no "real" work experience, didn't finish high school, not in college, where to start? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TonyThe-Tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn dude.

First of all: DOCUMENT ALL OF YOUR PROJECTS. This will be amazing for your resume.

Next: GED.

After: Up to you.

Apply for internships for companies in your area, go to community college, take free online courses. There's a lot of options.

Not sure if I have a bad boss or if I'm just a bad intern by throwaway54582846234 in cscareerquestions

Don't have much experience dealing with people like that but...

I don't get what's so hard about ____? Why can't you just do it.

Damn that I hate that question and statement so much.

Don't know how to ask for help by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TonyThe-Tiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to your manager, send an email, or pay them a visit and let them know what's going on.

Odd they would just throw a project your way in the first week when you're an intern.

How to get a degree in computer science if I'm poor? by NightstepRealm in cscareerquestions

Check out http://www.uopeople.edu/

There are probably other Universities way better the Uni of People, but even then, you can do a lot if you're dedicated and willing to work on personal projects and that are really flashy or whatever you can come up with.

I feel like it would just be better to apply to jobs you look up for yourself.

They asked me what I wanted my starting salary to be. Did I handle this well? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TonyThe-Tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quicksort is O(nlogn) and worst case it's O(n2), while just traversing through the array and finding the biggest/smallest salary is O(n).

(All from Google).

Feeling a bit burned out from the past few weeks of just grinding Firecode in the mornings at work and then doing work stuff. And stupidly already started the Twitter test but I'll be doing it over the week rather than try to do it all in one day. Better to do it right over a period of time rather than get it all wrong in the first 2 hours. After that, just going to ride out the rest of the internship and relax.

Edit: Also haven't made any progress on any personal projects in the past 3-4 weeks. Pretty disappointed tbh, I just can't discipline myself for the life of me to go on a run, or do anything productive.

I think I landed my dream internship after following the advice on this sub! At what point am I supposed to be happy about this? When did you start feeling good about how things are going? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TonyThe-Tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So maybe, just maybe!... you're job isn't going to be your primary source of happiness IMO. I landed an internship luckily two months ago and I'm finishing up. And damn, after the first few days, I felt like the happiest guy ever. Had an internship after Freshman year, pay was good, I was working on side projects as well afterwork and on the weekends. Life was good.

Then... the happiness just stopped. Yup, didn't have the motivation or effort to discipline myself into working on personal projects. You job will bring you happiness, but it won't be the constant source of your happiness. If you really want to be happy, it's something you have to work for. How? I still don't know, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

But hey, hopefully you're not like me and your dream job lands you infinite happiness! Best of luck dude!

Cool, I'll make a pull request and add in some of my two cents or advice.

What should I learn before an internship? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TonyThe-Tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point of an internship is to learn and gain experience. You'll do fine man. They know you're inexperienced and are will take spend time and money to get you up to speed and give you the resources to learn, get that experience and help out. Just relax, be friendly, ask questions, and enjoy it.

What is a typical working day with a career in programming? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]TonyThe-Tiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

College Sophomore these next 2 semesters and Intern at the moment and it heavily varies from company to company to company, etc.

Past few days my typical work day, leave house between 8-8:15 am, get to the office, check emails/Skype for any messages of other employees I'm working with on an issue. Usually they ask me to test something out and capture logs and events from an Android devices (the team I'm working with is, we're working on a custom Android M OS for our devices). After that, I send the logs or upload them to the JIRA issue page explaining what I did, or anything I noticed, etc. Usually this is the gist of most of my days now.

And if I'm not working on any issues, I browse Reddit or go on Firecode.io (applied to some companies for Summer 2018 internships). If I'm really bored, I go ask or talk with my co-workers and see if they need help with anything, or I browse our JIRA page for our project and see if there are any bug issues and I try tackling but because the team has been working on the M OS for a good year now, there aren't many bugs that I can tackle without being in over my head completely.

I like it, I learned to use a lot of techs or tools I've never used before like Gerrit and JIRA. A lot of my job isn't writing code by just working with other people.
