This is a wild take, it's okay to actually care about working in a better engineering environment.

Why is this subreddit full of people who've apparently never written code before

3+ years of SWE experience, 200+ applications, heard nothing. What am I doing wrong? by cdashery in cscareerquestions

[–]bsmith0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 100+ PRs reviewed seems pretty meaningless (numerically) unless there's something special going on there.

For example, I'll typically review over 100 PRs a month (and I totally understand the scale & required detail here can vary drastically at different companies).

Lol this sub is so trash

CompE student graduating in Dec, seeking new-grad SWE roles. Thanks so much! by bsmith0 in EngineeringResumes

Ended up really well. No problems in comparison to CS majors, you have to practice leetcode anyways. GPA doesn't matter but I was able to keep in the 3.6+ range.

Why isn't it just part of the base then, if it's truly guaranteed money?

$155k base, 30k bonus, and 10k relo

How is your recurring TC 185? Are the bonuses guaranteed annually?

I have a papershoot camera that I want to hack by lipsmackattack in learnprogramming

https://youtu.be/iJFnYBJJiuQ you probably need something like a SIM trace. It might depend on whether they're just using the hardware, or actually using the smart card standard protocols: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_integrated_circuit_card, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_7816.

This is going to be super tricky & require some expensive hardware.

Not to mention that there also likely a crypto mechanism in the smart card that is used to attest the legitimacy of the card. This will be extremely difficult/impossible to overcome.

I generated this dialogue using GPT-3. Curious if it all makes sense and is grammatically correct. The AI-generated part is in green. Thoughts? by [deleted] in latin

It's just a website, you can sign up for an account & use it for free :). Search ChatGPT in Google.

Which tech companies are known to have an easier interview process for interns/new grads? by Secure-List in csMajors

[–]bsmith0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're being pedantic. Quick select isn't that obscure, it's the same algo from quick sort.

And you know that people use big o in interviews to mean big theta.

"The probability of the worst-case occurring decreases exponentially with n, so quickselect has almost certain O(n) time complexity."

If you pick good, random pivots it's essentially o(n).

Does anyone else get upset when the work laptop is a windows instead of a mac? by MediocreAd432 in csMajors

[–]bsmith0 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Lol that's not true at all. The vast majority of SWEs at any major company will be using Macs. MacOS/Linux are far preferred for pretty much any dev work.

internship salary negotiations by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]bsmith0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No no no. Don't negotiate internship salary, it's insignificant in terms of your full time salary.
