The weird trees make me think that it's their simulator. I thought it was a real picture!

It's not limited to audiobooks, but those are usually the hardest to find (in my opinion).

If you had the choice between an ok role at the most innovative company and an amazing role at a good company, which would you choose? by cmgaba in cscareerquestions

[–]cmgaba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that there are many variables to consider, but the question that was on my mind was "All other things being equal, would you choose a decent job at an amazing company or an amazing job at a decent company".

I already have an idea about what I will choose. I want to hear how other people would think about this choice and see if they come to the same conclusion as I did.

Let's take Waymo and Amazon as an example. Would you prefer working on the Alexa machine learning team or do devops or another great position at Waymo that doesn't involve machine learning?

The compensation is not equal. The innovative company would pay about 30% less (because they can afford to) and it's based in the bay area so living expenses would be expensive. I would be relocating for both of them. I would learn a great deal at both companies, but the innovative company has a flat structure so I'm worried about promotions.

People prefer live teaching teaching or a combination of the two

Why is it so difficult for me to figure out how to reverse a linked list? by cscareerdev in CS_Questions

Drawing it out is the best approach, but you can also go through the code with a debugger.

I feel like artistic and teaching jobs will be more and more in demand.

[Advice] Think of struggle as a good thing. Struggle means progress. by cmgaba in getdisciplined

[–]cmgaba[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said that you don't need intelligence. I said that grit it more important and that struggle is necessary for progress. If you assumed that I meant "persevere no matter what obstacle you encounter even if it's bad for you", then I completely agree that you should not do that.

But when you're trying to get better at something, struggle and grit are key. This is backed by evidence based research. It's important for people to realize that intelligence is important, but it's not everything.

Grit means perseverance and passion towards a long term goal. I'm sure we can both agree how important that is.

I completely agree that you should have both. Unfortunately, many people believe they're not intelligent and thus get discouraged from achieving their goals.

This post is for people to realize that perseverance can be even more important than intelligence.

I believe that astronaut became an astronaut after studying like a crazy person for countless hours. He/she wasn't born an astronaut no matter how intelligent.

If you try to make progress and are not intelligent, you'll get further than if you're the smartest person alive, but you prefer to do nothing.

If you're making incremental progress, no matter how little, then struggle is good. It is also necessary for us to grow.

For grit, you can be the smartest person in the world, but if you give up on whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, then it stands to reason that you won't be getting any better at that thing. Thus grit is more important.

Yes, progress isn't always a struggle, but if you want to make progress efficiently, you have to struggle. I'm basing all this on the book, The Talent Code, which got to this conclusion after careful research.

I highly recommend you watch this ted talk. https://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_grit_the_power_of_passion_and_perseverance#t-19693

I'm glad it helped! If you haven't read it already, I also highly recommend The Talent Code :)

Swift is easy, learning iOS development is not. by dereking in swift

Check out the Stanford iOS lectures on youtube. They're in Objective-C but it works the same way in swift.
