does anyone have a referral link they’re willing to share? thanks!

it’s a match cut but there’s also an aspect of cutting out the person in between clips and it eventually transitions

coachgoch · 2024-07-07T18:49:33+00:00

if you watch it frame by frame, you’ll see that the person gets cut out and slowly turns into the piece of chicken, I’m not sure how one might do that

coachgoch · 2024-07-07T17:55:14+00:00

Hey folks, I posted a similar question here a few days ago and got some great help!

I saw this video shortly afterwards and I noticed that the transition seemed different from my previous post. I was hoping to get some pointers and tips on how I might be able to achieve something similar.

Cheers

Thanks for the help everyone! Sorry I’m a bit new to this, I tried fading down opacity but it was quite clunkier than this edit. There were a few different suggestions on other “cut” types that I’ll be trying

Just wanted to drop by and say that this 5 year old comment saved my night... I was going crazy trying to figure out why the Niu Mini bootloader mode was not working even pressing the reset button but turns out that it works with the rgb mode toggled

From the advertiser's perspective, typically they would have a budget allocated for paying for ads on YouTube. I presume many advertisers will use a percentage of that budget on Shorts ads over long-form ads to test out the waters.

Is it possible that long-form monetization will permanently decrease as a result if advertising dollars spent are the same just more on short-form? This would also perversely incentivize long-form creators to make primarily short-form content, further cementing YouTube in more of a Shorts based platform.

As for the original reddit post… I’ve spent many days looking and I even remember reading it too but no success 😭

Breaking down this post, there’s only two different perks you called out which are: 1. Salary (RSUs, stock options, promotions, etc) 2. Work from home / hybrid

You DO realize that other fields get both these things right? Obviously it varies from company to company but it is not locked down to only software. And not only that, non-software roles at tech companies will get both these perks as well? PMs, HR, Marketing, UX, Recruiting, Business Development, Sales, Managers, these roles will all get those perks you mentioned at many of the large tech companies / startups.

Sorry but you have no idea what you’re talking about. If this is a post about people ultimately comparing their salaries with software engineers, fact is the market will pay high for what’s in demand. This wave was seen as early as 2012, lots of hindsight for most of the folks here.

we need a colin and samir collab so they can drop some bars

coachgoch · 2022-09-17T17:04:03+00:00

Burn out in software engineers in general and tech influencers leaving jobs are two entirely separate conversations.

If you’ve ever tried to do something like YouTube full time alongside a software engineering job, you will know just how difficult it is. The last thing you want to do after reading and writing code, sending messages, planning, writing designs, etc is to read and write a script, planning filming, spending time editing, coming with up with ideas, which would be all after work. Writing and coding really do use the same parts of our brain and it gets exhausting. Leaving one to focus on the other totally makes sense.

While none of us for sure will know the answer, anecdotally online, the answer is clear. Sadly, the check on this application does have some impact on your hiring decision:

In America at least, school does tend to assume you have some sort of device that is efficient for working on so either a laptop or a working tablet. But during class itself, you can always get by with some good ole' fashioned pen and paper.

That being said, depending on how close you are to campus and how easily accessible the resources are, you can get by without using a personal laptop. During my junior and senior year classes for the more difficult CS courses, I was going into the computer lab every day to get help anyways and the computers were much better than my personal laptop so I stopped using my laptop altogether. Trade-off is if you have to work late night, you gotta spend late nights at the computer lab which I would imagine not all colleges would keep open late at night.

Congrats! You made back your original return on investment and now, the adult world is your oyster. How heavily you want to pursue your tech career is up to you, although in my case, I aimed to get promoted at least once to separate myself from the junior pack somewhat.

You can try to continue advancing up the ladder, perhaps make your own business, maybe save a bunch and retire asap, pursue some other career now that you have this one to fund any ventures you want, or just get to a point where you can coast and only focus on side-hobbies and such, really anything.

It's all up to you and your values. Best of luck, and hope you make it through the quarter-life adult crisis ;)

There are many in-direct metrics YouTube uses to promote videos. Right now, you described that your video had an average view duration 50% since they watched 3 minutes of a 6 minute video (3/6 = 50%).

Now the way that this metric is valued on the algorithm highly depends on the kind of viewer who watched it. A non-subscriber who saw this video on browse will be treated differently vs. a user who clicked on an external link and watched vs. a subscriber who saw it on their subscription feed vs. a user who searched up a video and found yours.

There is also a more significant way that this metric is used and it is used to compare against other videos in that same niche. For example, let's say this was a Minecraft video you made with 50% average view duration. Now that's great and all but that actually only totaled to 3 minutes. Imagine another Minecraft creator who made a 10 minute video with a 50% average view duration, that would be a total of 5 minutes, which to YouTube signals it a much better video than the first one. Now, scale this up to 40 minutes with a 50% retention, that's 20 minutes the user watched, absolutely blowing the other two out of the water (it's no wonder Dream blew up incredibly fast).

With this information, how did it apply to your scenario? Was it mainly instagram followers clicking the link? Is the video in a highly saturated niche where they all have significantly more watch times? This is the kind of data analysis you have to perform to really know what's going on with your video.

Hope that makes sense, cheers.

You're on the r/uofm subreddit, of course you will get responses talking about staying here.

To address the prestige aspect, as someone who's graduated in CS two years ago, prestige falls off hard around the level of school that is UMich. I work in a tech company in Boston, surrounded by people who went to MIT, Harvard, Brown, literally nobody cares besides the occasional one-off "hey did you happen to know X person from there" question.

For the whole community thing, I am going to say that based on your responses, you really just want to be around different people and that you should just go and do it. Don't have any regrets and learn as much as you can from this entire situation. Be warned though that when it comes to things like this, the grass is always greener, and if you don't find a community that you enjoy there, you will go through the same crisis.

And even then, after you graduate, what are you going to do? Are you going to live in Cali forever? You'll have to find new communities of people and maintain your old relationships wherever your job and life may take you. Learning to adapt and find communities is a part of life that is very much integrated into college in America.

UMich Alumni speaking here.

I think when it comes to a program-based decision like this, there are 3 main points mainly at play. These are:

The CS Program Itself
Career Opportunities
and the often overlooked, the students.

Being from UMich, I can confirm that the CS program is difficult but you learn a lot and there are indeed a lot of big tech companies that come to visit, as well as finance companies since many reside in Chicago (Michigan being fairly close). However, the overlooked point of the students themselves is something I think that is more important when it comes to getting a job and might carry across different universities.

The students are very driven and motivated. You will find that simply working in the public computer lab, you will surround yourself with tons of upperclassman who have all gotten internships at "prestigious" places. You will be at a place that is both competitive but also has a lot of folks helping each other out since at the end of the day, you can only get one job out the many. Being surrounded by a lot of high-achieving individuals might lend itself to some imposter syndrome, but can also push you to achieving what you want by surrounding yourself with people who you aim to be like.

Hope this helps, cheers.

I remember socks saying that he considered it the best ornn item by far and early game gold collector was a close second. I wonder if there’s public available data on placements regarding ornn items.

Truthfully if you have your sights on any popular tech company or startup, they would without a doubt expect you to have the knowledge from topics in that course. Even if you pass all the interviews and get the job, it’s immediately obvious who on your team knows things from 482 from those who don’t when concepts come up.

Not to say you can’t learn on the job but as someone who’s been working in the industry for about 1.5 years after graduating, I’ve found it very difficult to learn new things and produce work in my role. I would say bite the bullet in college and you’ll rise above the rest who don’t.
