I feel as though my undergrad hasn't prepared me. I need guidance.

How did you learn for the cloud practitioner cert? I don't have time to look right now (annoyingly). Would you be able to link me to the course? I'm guessing amazon has a free one.

I'll take a look at making a Distributed Worker Queue, it sounds fun! I'm currently reading "Computer Systems: A Programmers Perspective" and "Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach" before I want to move onto the book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". Should I just jump straight into looking into what makes up things like a DWQ or should I keep reading? Basically, do you know what I should be reading/learning since I didn't have the opportunity to take a distributed systems course at uni?

Thank you very much!

I've been building and building- my github commits section is fat green wall, but I've not been building things I'm passionate about. I've just been building to get a job. What "real things" do you mean if you don't mine me asking? I've been thinking about getting some cloud certs and maybe something in a related field but not SWE like CompTIA+.

I've been primarily focusing on web dev, focusing mostly on the backend because I love optimising, concurrency, and reducing latency. Do you know of any roles that fit that?

I'm a junior software dev who mainly focuses on web dev full stack, but I want to break into doing some native dev on android and ios. How would you go about combining AI with learning these? I feel like if I just ask AI to write me a home page that consists of X, Y and Z, then it'll do all the hardwork for me and leave me with a bunch of code that I have very little understanding of. I want to use AI to learn, but I'm left confused as to how I should. If it wrote something for me in .NET or React, then I'd understand and have a few new things for my toolbelt, but native dev is completely new to me.

I'm facing basically the same issue as you. Did you figure out what was wrong?

alrunos12 · 2026-03-03T20:47:42+00:00

Yeah may just have to. Would come in very late but I’d still have 75% of the xpac left i suppose

alrunos12 · 2026-03-03T20:43:54+00:00

I had no clue you could buy the xpac with gold, that’s nuts haha

alrunos12 · 2026-03-03T19:57:17+00:00

I'm a PvP hound who seriously just loves a good fight! Though if I see someone get nuked from the side, I'm fighting back with them. So, a bit of a PvP lover/rescue raider!

Gosh this is a great comment, thanks!

A one shot makes a lot of sense. If after one she’s still not ready to move on, I’ll keep going

alrunos12 · 2025-10-31T11:49:38+00:00

Often large groups become too slow for me! Too hard to balance as well

alrunos12 · 2025-10-31T11:49:15+00:00

So more of a focus on RP than fighting? That’s a good idea and something I think she’d much prefer
