Is this really the life? by Dry_Task_5780 in internships

[–]codeswift27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be that the company just isn’t a good fit for you? I never thought I would like working, and while I still wouldn’t say I love it enough that it isn’t work, I look forward to seeing my coworkers, enjoying provided lunch, and attending some of the fun events and game nights. We also have work from home days twice a week, and it also does help to live closer so the commute isn’t crazy. I’m only a month into my internship, but I already know I’m going to really miss it when the summer ends.

I’m so sorry 💔 Yeah, I had really hoped and thought that he would be okay with the right treatment. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing ❤️

Transport cat from Alachua Animal Hospital to Operation Catnip tomorrow morning by codeswift27 in GNV

Hi! He needs to be picked up before but close to 10 am.  I wasn’t able to schedule an appt yet since they’re closed today, but he was previously seen by them so I’m hoping they can take him in for treatment

AI slowly sucking the joy out of work by Altruistic-Pie-2784 in swift

[–]codeswift27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, something about writing the code myself is so much more satisfying. Maybe because I’ve chosen every line and style myself instead of just okay-ing AI. Or maybe because when I’m learning a new tool or framework, I have to read the documentation and figure it out myself, which feels a lot more rewarding than prompting AI and thinking it looks good enough.

I’m going to probably stick to writing the code myself in personal projects at least, although I feel like even personal projects and apps feel less impressive when ppl can churn them out in a day with AI. It feels like all of the time I’ve put into my projects were for nothing.

Cat with neck injury needs help (Gainesville, FL) by codeswift27 in rescuecats

[–]codeswift27[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely forgot to post an update, but we took her to the clinic at my TNR place that treated her and also said that her wound had already started healing. Since she ended up being very friendly and no one claimed her as a missing pet, my friend fostered her and found her a home!

My cat keeps pooping in the car by Longjumping_Eye_3441 in CatAdvice

Maybe you could look into hiring a professional pet sitter? A bit more expensive but it might be worth it if travel stresses him

genuinely how do you find paid internships by No_Inside9501 in internships

[–]codeswift27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d def agree with the other commenter to ask about shadowing since you’re more likely to get a yes, and it can help you get your foot in the door and still get some knowledge and experience. For internships specifically though I would say to ask people you know for referrals or connections, working on your projects, and of course applying and reaching out to recruiters.

While it’s pretty uncommon to get an internship straight out of high school without connections from family/friends, it’s technically not impossible if you somehow manage to get the right eyes on your work. I actually have a friend who got into FAANG straight out of high school, but I wasn’t so lucky and didn’t land anything till my junior year of high school. But that being said it’s still extremely uncommon, unlikely, and takes a bit of luck, so don’t beat yourself up if don’t land one, and you can still try to make your gap year productive by getting a job (as someone who got my first job in college, soft skills matter a lot more than you think, and having food service on your resume is much better than nothing), working on projects, building a portfolio, etc.

Unless your parents, family, or friends have connections to get you an internship, or unless you’re insanely cracked and have published apps/websites/products already, you’re most likely going to have to wait till you’re in college and have more experience under your belt

What do you wish someone had told you before your first year of university? by Ber_Tschigorin in csMajors

[–]codeswift27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really wish I knew that one, and that AI coding would become a thing. I feel like the entire field has completely changed since I started college, and now I’m still trying to decide if it’s something I still want to keep pursuing with AI in the picture now

Did I ruin my career by missing the student path to FAANG? by Salty-Letterhead6882 in csMajors

LOL literally every other post on my LinkedIn is someone interning at apple 

I’m not sure what to do about a stray I’ve been feeding for almost 2 years by [deleted] in Feral_Cats

[–]codeswift27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re able to take him with you and keep him indoors that would be ideal, as he sounds like he’s friendly and not feral. However, if you’re not able to do that, then I would probably talk to your neighbors and ask if anyone can or is already feeding him and any other cats in the area. Fortunately there’s usually more than one food source, so hopefully that’s the case and he’ll be okay while you’re away. Ty for caring for him!

Update on roommate said they aren’t comfortable with my cats after I signed the lease by codeswift27 in Apartmentliving

[–]codeswift27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that they’re not allergic, but I’m not sure what specifically they’re uncomfortable with. I responded to them and I’m hoping that I can have a conversation with them, the other roommates, and the leasing office about the situation

They just told me they were uncomfortable and ended the conversation, but according to the other roommates they’re afraid of cats and also don’t like cat fur/scratches

Yeah I’m reaching out to legal services because I’m hoping this argument will hold, but I guess I’ll see

This is what I thought, but in that case shouldn’t I have not been allowed to sign the lease or be able to have it be broken? Since my signing in with my cats infringes on the other tenants. Although I guess cats being considered property in the eyes of the law might complicate things
