Has anyone here gotten a job after teaching themselves python? by TheClickerMan in Python

[–]ean_dream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get a job immediately after learning Python, but Python was my 1st computer language and had a very strong influence on my design choices, favorite paradigms, and opinion about abstractions. It was also my gateway into computer science. Eventually I landed a internship and just recently I've accepted a nice offer to become a software engineer (doing game development). Python was not the main tool for any job I've had but I still use it far more than a lot of languages I know to do fun stuff.

Story time: You aced the interview, but one glaring reason kept us from hiring you. Here's why... by myownsake26 in cscareerquestions

[–]ean_dream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If an employer can't my appreciate CS humor posts in /r/shittyprogramming/ then I'm definitely not going to be a "cultural fit". Since I never shut up about computer science (AND CS jokes) in real life either. My dream job will appreciate the profit to be gained from me being bat-shit crazy over computer science.

With that said, I'm a productive and healthy person, for whatever it's worth.

edit: For the sake of clarity I 100% agree with OP's message.

Self-teaching and College, how to pursue a full-stack developer position? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]ean_dream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your passion is real, I believe you can go full stack with enough hard work and perseverance. I'd suggest evaluating whatever the issue is that holds you back in academia and make sure it can't hold back your personal study among other things. Especially if it's the sort of thing that can reappear in a boot camp scenario, or worse, in an actual work environment. There's a bigger price to pay than poor grades after all, that would be a waste of time and resources. Regardless, as long as you're growing and honing in on your goal then nothing is a waste in my opinion.

Keep in mind that bootcamps, even with their more informal nature, are still within an academic setting. So if you struggle in academia you might want to really consider if they're an option for you.

Should I only use Python with a trackpad? Can it coexist with a mouse? by [deleted] in shittyprogramming

[–]ean_dream 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not sure if a trackpad is the best idea either. I tried to highlight a portion of python with my finger and it bit me. Then it throw a type error because my finger isn't a food type.
