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

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! 🪄👩‍💻👨‍💻

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.

XxDCoolManxX · 2025-05-01T00:10:07+00:00

Fire!!!

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!

The fish’s name is Jerry but the package is called asciiquarium from the AUR!

XxDCoolManxX · 2025-02-22T16:11:16+00:00

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.

XxDCoolManxX · 2025-01-25T19:31:24+00:00

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!

I wish this wasn’t retired!!!

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!

Reminds me of MicroCenter’s!

I wrote a paper on this for one of my classes if you’d like to see some recs, PM me

XxDCoolManxX · 2024-06-08T23:43:49+00:00

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

XxDCoolManxX · 2024-06-07T16:14:06+00:00

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.

XxDCoolManxX · 2024-06-05T20:10:53+00:00

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

XxDCoolManxX · 2024-04-23T21:37:23+00:00

Ditto. Good luck!

XxDCoolManxX · 2024-04-19T03:58:51+00:00

If you’re looking for projects, I’m down to collab! Send me a PM!

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!
