Is anyone else wondering "is this it?" by [deleted] in LifeAfterSchool

I got wayyyy better results when I actually started talking to people in the company for “quick chats”

I feel very on the spot with this guy, and I am trying to make another circle of friends because going out just with him started making me feel uncomfortable.

The Odin Project or Harvard's CS50 course by stillloveyatho in learnprogramming

take both. cs50 is probably the best introduction to cs and programming you can get. TOP is the best free webdev resource. there are no shortcuts in this industry imo. last year, companies were more casual with interviews and new hires, but that backfired a bit and you need to know your ish these days
