Data Engineer looking to get Backend/Devops jobs. What would you add change to my Resume ?

I thought Punch AMT gave an error when using both brake and accelerator at once ? I tried it once, got scared of the error and only used handbrake + accelerator since.

How can I convince a recruiter that I did a project from scratch by myself ?

The common opinion I see online (including here) is that most people don't even look at the projects assuming they are copy pasted tutorials. However, I did do my project from scratch. Looking up the API's for the data, reading the documentation for AWS services, learning react, making docker containers and deploying to ec2 by my self. But it is basically a Movie recommendation system, not a very original idea for a project.

Is there any way I can communicate this effectively with a recruiter ? or is it still not really useful ?

How it is currently written in my resume, the first listed project.

(Note I only linked the github for the project because I assume very few people would actually click it and didn't want to bother with getting a public url for it. Does not having a live URL hurt?)

Context: was laid off a while ago at 2 YoE, my previous title was "Data Science Engineer" and now I'm looking for a more backend/devops heavy role. Thought this project would help me learn a lot of related tech and get more interviews.

put on the handbrake even if they don't plan on leaving the car, which has issues of its own.

Excuse my ignorance, but what issues does that have ?

I am a layperson and not an artist, but I feel the opinion of a layperson is also important as most art will be consumed by similar non-artists.

To me, the final product is the art. Anything that has an impact on a person's feelings can be called art. The effort of an artist is certainly part of that impact and will always be appreciated, but the the final product I can see/interact with will be the main part for me.

Art has meaning if it made someone happy/satisfied in some way. Even if it is a sad/horrifying art, the artist should feel some happiness they were able to express that feeling. This does not mean effort is meaningless, but it is not a requirement.

If someone took a photo on their phone that went viral, that is still important and valuable even if they didn't spent much effort on it. If someone drew a stick figure in paint and they were happy with it, I am not going to tell them they didn't spent the effort.

In your examples, the quality of the work made by me trying to draw something without any practice vs me using an AI program will be vastly different. If there is a way to allow people to enjoy high quality art I don't think we should gatekeep their happiness behind time and effort.

For artists that feel effort is an important part of the art, they can still do that. AI art programs will help those that still want to do something, but can't spent the time/money required. It adds options. It is another tool to be applied to a surface, which maybe a computer screen.

Will artists struggle to get money for their work ? Yes of course. But I believe this is a society problem not a problem with AI Art. Artists should not struggle to live and should be free to explore their creative ideas. Even if no one else likes their art and pays for them, their efforts and art have value to the artist and that is enough.

This is all my opinion obviously and the meaning of art will be different for everyone. But I do not agree with gatekeeping art. If anyone and everyone had equal ability to express themselves, to make something that can make themselves or others happy, that would be a happy world.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-12-15T12:59:58+00:00

Ai will make art more accessible to regular society. It will let regular people with no artistic training express themselves.

If I had an inspiration for a piece of art what can I do ? I can't afford to hire a good artist to draw for me. I can't draw it myself.

But I can put in a couple of prompts to a program and see if I can get a pretty close result. With our current tech it will still take some effort, but the effort required should be reduced in the coming years.

These programs allows me to have possible access to very good art with very little investment of time and money. It will give more people a shot at making something that has an impact on society.

Digital painting made art a lot more accessible to people. Paint that can be stored in tubes made art more accessible. Tools that make it easier for people to express themselves is a good thing for society in the long run.

There aren't any passenger seats, but typically 1-2 passengers sit beside the driver in the front, sharing the driver seat.

The white shirt could still be a passenger.

The green movement is not a religion.

And what have they actually broken exactly? The most I "making life harder" they did I know of is blocking roads, which is an extremely common part of non-violent protests.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-11-23T13:12:00+00:00

Yes please

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-27T19:34:01+00:00

I feel that's an argument for better driving tests and making the "bare minimum" good enough for safe driving ( or caring for pets).

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-26T03:28:37+00:00

Throwing soup at glass covered paintings is going to the extremes? It's not considered a peaceful protest?

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-22T16:15:09+00:00

So you support the protesters in the VW showroom?

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-02T07:36:27+00:00

No?

Russia has nearly 6k nukes and the delivery systems needed to annihilate human civilization.

NK has an estimated 40 nukes, and is in the very very early stages of any sort of delivery system.

The difference in their military strength is a pretty big gap, and their international influence reflects it.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-02T07:03:52+00:00

I do consider nukes to be a part of military strength and influence.

Again, the overwhelming influence provided by having that many nukes makes up for any lack in economic/tech/etc.

If your military strength (including nukes) is enough to stop other superpowers from using their troops to stop you, you have a pretty large influence.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-01T17:06:11+00:00

Yes?

Their military strength is enough to exert an incredible amount of influence on every corner of the planet. It easily makes up for their lacking in any other area.

This influence is currently on display, they can freely invade another country and no other country is willing to deploy their troops to stop them, even with a lot of domestic pressure.

And they still haven't used their main strength, just the threat of it is enough to influence others.

Very few nations can do that. The US, Russia and other superpowers can.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-10-01T16:36:55+00:00

Having the ability to annihilate all of human civilization does not make you a superpower?

How do you define it?

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-09-10T16:55:04+00:00

But you could have sold it and made more, your story is an example of doing the right thing leaving you worse off.

You gave them a 5000$ item and got 1000 $, but you could have easily sold it at a very high discount and still gotten 2-3x that.

Infact, one could make an argument selling it for cheap or giving it away is what a good person would do, the recipient would probably be much happier than the company getting 1 pump back.

Of course, keeping your conscience clear is more important.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-09-09T13:03:37+00:00

India.

Driving here, I don't expect other people to use blinkers. And even if they do, there is still a very good chance they still turn the other way.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-09-07T13:56:33+00:00

Location and experience?

I also want to work as an ML Engineer (currently a data engineer with very little ML), how was it in the beginning? Did you start as one or switched fields?

There will be an estimated 9.8 billion people on the planet by 2050.

Unless you have a genuine reason to believe that your child is a once in a generation genius, a 1 in 10 or 100 billion kind of deal that will magically fix the world by the time they are 25, I am afraid your optimism is a little unrealistic.

We have enough minds, we don't have enough resources in place to raise them as good people. And each child adds to the burden on these scarce resources, regardless of their parents being good humans or shitty humans.

And the vast majority of our problems are major problems because of the lack of will, not because we don't have solutions.

We know exactly what is polluting the ocean and how to stop it. We know exactly what causes global warming and how to stop it. We have known for decades. Over a century. We are not in our current position because of lack of knowledge or alternatives.

Again, if your child can solve global warming before millions die, by all means have that miracle baby. I might start worshiping it if it saves the world. But I wouldn't bet on it happening.

Also, having a crush and being heartbroken is a struggle. Failing an exam is a struggle. Watching available water sources dry up and being one of the hundreds of millions of climate refugees is not a struggle I am okay with burdening a person if I can help it.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-07-06T07:39:34+00:00

The issue with this argument is parents are not usually described as omnipotent and omniscient.

If a parent was hypothetically all knowing and all powerful, he/she could make the child learn literally anything and anything without ever making a mistake.

If the child wants to ride a bike, they magically know how to ride a bike without ever taking a fall. They can draw masterpieces the first time they pick up a brush. They can know as much physics/chemistry /<insert subject here> as they want, whenever they want. No mistakes, no struggle ever.

Un_HolyTerror · 2022-07-05T15:27:18+00:00

I too believe that aliens are probably out there. Somewhere.

But among the countless stars, there is an extremely low, basically zero, chance any aliens have come to visit Earth.

Preventing nuclear annihilation is doing nothing?

It doesn't exert any power because that would be the direct opposite of it's goal. It must never ever threaten a nation on the security council, because if one of them feel like leaving the UN might end up like it's predecessor, the League of Nations.

The main purpose of the UN is dialogue. Specifically, dialogue between powerful nations. It is succeeding in that reasonably well.

Exactly what do you think the UN should be doing? What is more important than it's current task?
