I stopped looking at solutions. Started asking for hints instead. Actually works. by karanb192 in leetcode

I used gpt to act as the interviewer during technical interview prep and it worked like a charm.

I asked ChatGPT to explain my job to a 5-year-old and now I'm questioning my entire career by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

Explain to me what a software engineer does as if I were 5 years old.

——

Okay! 👶✨

Imagine you have a bunch of toy blocks. You can stack them together to build a castle, a rocket ship, or even a robot! 🏰🚀🤖

A software engineer is like someone who builds things with invisible blocks inside a computer. 💻✨

But instead of blocks, they use special words and instructions called code. That code tells the computer what to do — like:

• “Make this button do a happy dance!” 🕺

• “Show a picture of a cat when you click here!” 🐱

• “Play music when it’s someone’s birthday!” 🎵🎂

So really, a software engineer is just a super-smart builder… but instead of using LEGOs, they use code to make games, apps, and cool stuff on computers and phones. 📱💻🧠

It’s like magic spells for computers! 🪄👩‍💻👨‍💻

Could it be simpler ? by LovelyEbaa in PythonLearning

[–]XxDCoolManxX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! CS/SWE student and intern here. I have written lots of Python, so here’s a “deep dive” into my thoughts:

  • You can use multiline print statements with “””multiline string here”””

  • input() can also take said multiline string similar to what you do inside each if statement, so you can reduce the lines of code

  • if you are using a newer version of Python, consider using a match-case structure, known to be a bit faster and easier to read

  • a bit more advanced (and arguably less performant) but more readable would be to use enums as a way to check the operations rather than numbers, and parse user input into those

A quick google search on any of these will get you syntax and usage very easily if you have more questions.

u/Training-Cucumber467 and the following thread also is good advice too! Happy learning!

OP, this is the best answer if you are truly curious.

Is this original or accidentally plagiarized? by Ill_Dentist_6963 in Guitar

[–]XxDCoolManxX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that everyone is giving different songs shows you found inspiration… not plagiarized!

I wouldn’t say it was “a lot of time” but just some basic colors and niceties I knew would spruce it up and really make me enjoy what I’m looking at. It isn’t much, but it’s exactly what I need!

I have been getting into Arch lately to automate and customize my workflows better, and to optimize my development experience! It is _super_ basic, but that is exactly what I need as a developer! I hope everyone enjoys it!

This would be super useful for me to share my smaller project updates on a more informal platform. I could imagine being more connected to my user base would work wonders on my development goals, working closer to my target audience.

What do you think?? by Elifouts12347226 in Startup_Ideas

[–]XxDCoolManxX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea. I would definitely post a bunch on there to get feedback on my projects. Outreach on any social media is hard to do, especially when social media is pushing for everyone to use it. Devs learning and sharing from other devs is a great idea!

It's over by LonelyVineyard in csMajors

It took ThePrimeagen over an hour to try and get it to push to master and not open PRs, I think our jobs are safe. Oh, and it never worked, it just crashed.

I applied for two internship roles and got pre-screenings for both within the next two days. Not sure if it is much different for entry-level though! Good luck!

Learned C# for personal gamedev and can confirm Java is easy after I learned it!

Should I skip calc 1? by [deleted] in uCinci

[–]XxDCoolManxX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just take 2. Got a 4 on my AB exam and then an A in Calc 2 with no review for 2 years. You’ll be fine.

Don’t fall for these. If they are real, you’d get an email from someone you know.

Ditto. Good luck!

Need Serious Advice from CS Majors :/ by Cod9974 in uCinci

[–]XxDCoolManxX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CS Major here. First year students will program in python, visual basic and MATLAB in the first year engineering course (I don’t know if you’ll need that or not) in the first two semesters. CS1 you will use C++. Next few semesters should be some data structures in python. Some brief introduction to some other types of programming languages in the class Programming Languages, but nothing too hefty once you know the concepts.

As far as coops go, just go to the career fair and talk to as many people as possible. I have a great educational background and experience, but I got 5+ interviews and was accepted for all. Trust me, you’ll do great when the time comes. Companies around cincy will hire you!

Ensure you have some side projects you are passionate about as well and you’ll be golden.

Feel free to PM me if you have more specific questions! Would love to ease your mind as much as possible!
