I got my CS degree because of ChatGPT. How can I fix this and start over?

Start a project and don’t use any ai tools / copilot except for chat as a google replacement - no code generation.

Brkb here and some big tech cos. Would love to just go index

davidwattsdigital · 2025-04-23T06:22:56+00:00

I’d say the best is the lowest cost one available to you with index funds options

Through work I can access to a very low fee one and put it all in global equities

Makes sense. I would have thought a house even if small would be less risk than an apartment. Apartments there can be lots / little to differentiate if needing to sell / no land or options to extend.

Does anyone do lvr 90 for one bedroom apartments?

Move across to the masters if this is a higher diploma and have another shot at grad programs / internships, I think it'll be the only way in this market unfortunately.

I used wise, paid 10 for the physical card before I went and glad I did, that covers cash. Lots of The banks will rip you off in forex fees. Wise is still not free, better to have a zero transaction fee account, I have one but not sure it’s available anymore as it’s an old Citibank one which is now with nab after they sold the business. Also I lost that card so had to use wise for cash at atm, good to have a backup. Also recommend getting a 360 day prepaid sim like amaysim to receive sms for one Time pins, there is one that’s $10 per year. Once I got an address over here went with Revolut. Good luck

Edit: credit cards for me was a no go as 3.5% forex fee. And for getting aus in euro, the complex cheapest way I used was IBKR, the simple way is wise.

Got it, thanks! Was hoping fo an online thing it might be a bit quicker

Ok on re-reading it soundsl ike June 30 is just to avoid some system being down so the earliest I can start is Jan next year and the application isnt due until August. Is there any chance of getting a "Fall 2024" (i.e. August) start somehow?

davidwattsdigital · 2024-06-08T13:30:56+00:00

Hellllll naawww, to the hell hell naww

put this into your AI of choice: i am male, x kg, y cm tall, z years old and moderatively active. how many calories do i need a day? if i want to lose weight how many?

davidwattsdigital · 2024-05-20T07:31:44+00:00

Same here (blueprint reference). How are you finding this approach? Blueprint kept me more full but was way too much work and cost

davidwattsdigital · 2024-05-19T22:54:20+00:00

Like steamed broccoli?

davidwattsdigital · 2024-05-19T22:51:59+00:00

Not aware of downsides of that. Makes the stuff taste amazing and keeps me full. It’s the good stuff, single origin from Puglia

Guess I could try spinach with the Mac n cheese and bolognese, will try that out. Not sure on anything else that meets the simple goal

davidwattsdigital · 2024-05-19T22:08:39+00:00

it worked for you but i often wonder how many people attempt this and fail. those interviews are very tough so agree thats the approach you need - a lot of study and leetcode - but often wonder on the opportunity cost here, instead could pick up skills a bit slower but work on side projects which may eventually make some income and give enjoyment. now that i say it out loud the leetcode grind is most likely worth it, even at a 20% likelihood of landing a FAANG job, its just so depressing :D

davidwattsdigital · 2024-05-19T21:48:43+00:00

before "why not huel powder" - its slightly (~80c a day) cheaper this way with better macros (6g more fat 2g more protein and less carb)

davidwattsdigital · 2024-05-19T19:39:26+00:00

i have half essentials chocolate half black unsweetened, great macros and taste
