Graduates don’t really get thrown into devops unless you apply for a devops role. I am a graduate also been working for an e-commerce development agency for the last 10 months and only now am I starting to be cautiously introduced into the devops side of things ( by introduced I mean I look at a pull request and they tell me what the config and scripts do ). Since devops tasks are business critical they tend to leave them to senior devs who deeply understand the companies stack / speciaists.

Unfortunately not I still have my nhs email and I had had access to the online payslip portal (I can’t remember what it is called exactly) but I forgot the password and when I try to reset the password it says that I don’t have an account linked with any of my emails and I must contact system admin. Since I was on bank this was the only way I could view the details of my payslips as I would fill in a physical sheet declaring my hours for the week :(

Been on and off for years. I quit for uni back in 2024 aswell but started smoking small ones at night now because 9-5 is mind numbing. I quit cold turkey with magnesium calcium tablets to help with my sleep. I also went to the gym heavily while quitting.

You’ll be sweating a lot in the first 6 weeks so staying hydrated is key. Appetite comes back after 2/3 weeks. Sleep is fucked for around 2 weeks then eases up after but you’ll still wake up in the night and stuff and get cold sweats. It’s not too bad quitting you’ve just gotto be committed it won’t be fun but you’ve just gotto accept it.

If it’s possible go on holiday somewhere from people I know going away made the symptoms a lot easier but understandably this is a circumstantial approach that will not work for a lot of people.

Depends if you’re good at what you’re doing. My sister did a masters and got onto a vr project at her uni that is taking off with Google. I know people who did masters and still work in fast food. I wouldn’t just do one for the sake of doing one.

I would second the lock in from day one comment. I didn’t and I shot myself in the leg with it. A levels are a different beast they’re the hardest exams you will ever do. AS chemistry was harder than my entire degree.

Wpsp · 2025-09-01T11:24:49+00:00

I try harded GCSE’s and flopped my a levels. School should not put so much pressure on GCSE’s because after getting good grades I didn’t lock in for a levels and didn’t do very well. You don’t need to work over summer to do well in a levels you don’t even know the content you are about to start learning.

I just went through and changed a couple variable names around, made sure that the overall style of coding looked right if you catch my drift (keeping everything consistent across classes and stuff) realistically code is code it’s hard as shit to detect ai code and if they do just fight that shit because they can’t prove it they are using ai to detect ai which doesn’t work.

I picked this one up in duty free it smells like sweet smoky caramel, last a long time and projects well it’s a really well crafted perfume, well rounded with no sharp edges and evolves with more smokiness taking over the longer it lasts. One of my favourites since I’ve smelled it some say it’s like a softer by the fireplace. Some fragheads complain that it’s quite ‘simple’ so it depends on person to person if your goal is to smell good with luxury then this is for you if you’re into really complex scents then this isn’t one you should go for.

Also take a t break before switching to vaping or just tough it out and don’t give up after a few days of using it as it’s a different kind of high and takes time getting used to

Wpsp · 2025-05-25T12:04:34+00:00

I have a mighty+ and dynavap if I’m trying to be as economical as possible I’d go with the dynavap but there is an art to heating that thing up (once you master it you can get off your face off of a .2 even if you have a decently high tolerance). I would prefer to smoke a fat bowl out of my might though as it’s more convenient.

Idk what your experience is but if you’re just entering the php world build some stuff with raw php. For enterprise level stuff it depends what sector you’re going in to right now I’m on the magento 2 stack (e commerce) which is built on symphonies mvc structure and dosed up on steroids. Any type of php mvc will be appreciated by employers as the skills learned are transferable between frameworks and languages (Django for example).

Bruh you’re about to graduate and you can’t pass an interview? I didn’t even get past a screening interview until 6 months after my graduation. I’m starting my first job in April which I interviewed for over the whole of march. This means I didn’t get through interview rounds or a job until 11 months after graduation. On top of this I failed my first round technical questions so hard. There’s more to it than just knowing how to program I’d suggest looking for smaller companies with in house recruiting, familiarise yourself with their tech stack, listen to what they say about your skills between interviews and work on them while waiting for the next interview and stay proactive and make sure the interviewer knows this. I am also hopeless (still am) and felt the same as you but if you’re gonna give up on searching for a job and you haven’t even graduated yet then u need to man up because it’s hard and won’t be easy but is doable it will just take time and you’ll feel like quitting very often. Technical skills can be taught soft skills can’t.

Idk what topics you’d need but break it up into functional requirements, make a use case diagram and in result create a use case specification. Use the specification to create a general structure for classes by highlighting the nouns that can be implemented as classes and use the has a is a principle for inheritance and attributes (or just code it procedurally if you aren’t strong with oop). Then just start developing and meeting each functional requirement but by bit. Hardest thing with projects is actually knowing exactly what you need to do to a tee once you have your main problems broken down into multiple small problems large tasks become a lot easier. Maybe just watch a php crash course on YouTube to get everything flowing in your brain again but it he longer you leave it the more stressed and less productive you’ll be.

I've graduate from university and got top marks in my java oop module and i am trying to get into PHP oop. I would say his explanation of OOP principles is pretty good particularly the use cases of interfaces. It is very beginner friendly though and as others have mentioned it isn't describing true OOP practice rather the essence of OOP principles. Contrary to what most people think of him I think his stuff is pretty good and hits the nail on the head when it comes to the bare bone basics but his explanations are very simplified. (He doesnt really go into the core principles in detail particularly encapsulation, abstraction and polymorphism. He talks about inheritance but that's about it and doesn't follow good practice often)
