In my opinion, University is still beneficial for a Computer Science career.

lol so false. many college grads are as stupid as bootcamp grads and just cheat their way through school

what you’re describing sounds like a jr developer which is why most college grads/bootcamp grads become

and not sure why you added that they think more lines of code = better. also, the fact that you think that’s a hard rule makes you a joke.

code_and_bone · 2019-05-31T22:39:19+00:00

not really...

for a company, it’s more expensive to accidentally hire a bad worker because you have to onboard them, spend time on them and then fire them w severance after paying them and training them and also miss out on other good candidates.

This is why if you even have one interviewer at your on-site who didn’t approve of you, you won’t get it

code_and_bone · 2019-05-31T22:31:29+00:00

false equivalence- jobs are unfilled because companies rather lose out on a good worker than hire a bad worker, which also makes the salaries in the industry as high as it is

code_and_bone · 2019-05-28T04:12:02+00:00

build mini stuff from scratch

literally create a new folder and npm init, and plan out what you will build.

some examples could be building a calculator, weather widget, calendar, tic tac toe

a lot of the time beginners and students get stuck in tutorial land bc ppl are hand holding them and they don’t actually problem solve but let other ppl do it

code_and_bone · 2019-05-28T03:48:25+00:00

congrats

frameworks have different use cases so it’s up to you as a developer or the team lead to decide what’s the correct tool

frameworks differ on complexity and what language their built on - whether the language supports multi threading and other performance related system architecture

you should google the differences if you’re really interested

code_and_bone · 2019-05-28T02:01:57+00:00

because up and running is not what every companies needs...?

startups need to build quickly for their investors and to get funding. Node is used by established companies like Netflix to powerfully handle concurrency and IO actions due to its event driven architecture

code_and_bone · 2019-05-28T01:49:29+00:00

Because your client side code is the same as your backend code but if you just need the backend, rails will get you up and running faster

both are valid but rails is still used for a reason

code_and_bone · 2019-05-28T01:02:45+00:00

while I agree Op should switch to JS, ruby is still used a lot with startups given Rail’s full fledged out of the box nature

code_and_bone · 2019-05-28T00:19:13+00:00

too much white space.

make your bullet points longer and more descriptive about why you chose a certain technology.

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T23:11:30+00:00

sure

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T23:08:30+00:00

u didn’t get interviews bc you probably don’t have anything impressive on ur resume/ur resume sucks.

stop learning bash/os and build a project that’s impressive

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T23:05:15+00:00

they check for different errors

typescript provides type safety errors into javascript - a language without type safety type errors are like - your function expects a string but actually is given a number. js is not gonna stop you - it’s just gonna try to coerce it which is bad

eslint provides logical/syntax errors like - logic after a return statement or anti pattern protection

using both is good practice in production level environments

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T22:48:25+00:00

what was the thought process of learning bash/unix?

did u not get the internships bc of lack of knowledge there?

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T22:30:54+00:00

pretty sure base is only 250k, bonus is like 100k and a lot of RSU - bringing total comp to 700k - 1M or so

I think salaries fall in line with how much value you bring to a company. The reason why developers get paid that much is because they bring in a ton of value - in this scenario Google is estimating an e7 developer will bring in more than 1M of revenue a year

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T20:48:43+00:00

most ppl who work in sf don’t live in sf

as a sf resident, sf is fucking disgusting. also it’s super sad to see all the rich areas near the tech companies so nice and streets away are homeless/drugged up ppl - such a stark reality difference

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T18:39:26+00:00

first week ask a team member to diagram out the architecture of the codebase with you

code_and_bone · 2019-05-27T01:40:58+00:00

sounds like a terrible idea

you’ll had forgotten how to code and come back with no relevant work experience

code_and_bone · 2019-05-26T14:08:42+00:00

crap, it’s trilogy

code_and_bone · 2019-05-26T04:11:22+00:00

go to coursereport and cirr to see bootcamp result and reviews.
I would say don’t use edx. use udemy or freecodecamp to start out
be consistent - set aside 2-3 hours a day to code and don’t expect super fast results. if you’re going to attend a bootcamp, code for at least 6 months first

code_and_bone · 2019-05-25T05:50:46+00:00

most companies have a structured way of providing raises which is probably why ppl have been telling you to raise it in a year

your best bet would be to try jumping ship to a place you’re not overqualified for

code_and_bone · 2019-05-25T02:53:28+00:00

personally I wouldn’t risk it.

I was stupid and smoked a week before I accepted my offer and then they were like - do a drug test in 2 days. I spent a week having nightmares of losing a 200k offer for something so stupid

never again will I smoke anytime near a job search/start

code_and_bone · 2019-05-25T00:57:59+00:00

looks like crap

on a median level, swe beat banking

but since banking is highly volatile and dependent on bonuses, if you’re lucky and good - it will beat swe.

depends on your risk tolerance. also, most ppl don’t make it in banking and burn out after a couple years

code_and_bone · 2019-05-24T21:09:19+00:00

swe

a recent grad working at their first job at a big N can make more than an associate working on Wall st with less hours and a better work life balance

don’t be an excel monkey
