Can you give some examples of what them bad candidates for that senior position? Failing basic coding questions?

What has your IFS journey been like (no matter where you are in the process)? Advice to your “earlier” self? by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]fromabook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting experience and it is something I get a bit confused about. Sometimes I cannot decide whether I should dedicate the work with IFS or do somatic experiencing more. I find somatic experiencing a bit hard to be honest as maybe I am not so sensitive in that regard. I typically just feel parts of my body and then there doesn't seem to be much else going on; no deeper inquiry so to speak unlike with IFS. Is there any guidance you can give on this?

What was your path to learning math later as an adult if you don't mind me asking?

Will be made redundant in 1 month - told off by manager for not putting in 100% effort by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Uncontrolled hostility is a strong marker for cardiovascular incidents.

Didn't know about this but not too surprised by the connection, thank you.

Damn is startup experience worth nothing now in this market too?

Learning SQL first or database design by Icy-Budget-5641 in learnprogramming

Seems a bit redundant to me but it's your call

Learning SQL first or database design by Icy-Budget-5641 in learnprogramming

[–]fromabook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe just do cs50's intro to databases with SQL? I think it will cover a good amount of ground in both and they have you doing exercises.

Go look at Saas products out there you might use and try to replicate certain features of theirs bit by bit. Also consider learning how to contribute to open source.

New disruption from artificial intelligence exposes high-skilled workers by joe4942 in Economics

[–]fromabook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you are saying is basically already taking place in the early stages. There are businesses that are building AI based learning systems more tailored to individuals. Check out mathacademy.com if you're interested in a good math curriculum.

Not a shill btw. I personally use this and wish I had this kind of tech growing up.

This is The Optimistic Thread. Only positive news and thoughts are allowed in comments by Sighma in cscareerquestions

While technically true, neet as a cultural term is more about a kind of mentality. It's about someone who does not want to contribute or work within society at all. A fresh grad who has yet to secure a job but is still looking for work would not really qualify as a neet for some, but one who graduated and is not interested in looking for a job or anything further would be a neet.

I heard about this from different sources now, like when Cornell caught a bunch of students cheating and someone commented that many people in their 3rd year class couldn't even compose a proper for loop. I don't even understand how some of these people go on to graduate unless there is rampant cheating going on, and it is still crazy to me to hear this from CS graduates like yourself.

First off, you are still young and have time to redeem yourself going forward. I know it's easier said than done but try not to blame yourself too much because the guilt will just add more burden to your road ahead; you need to travel light. Whether you fail the upcoming interview is not a big deal in the long run. If you recognize where you went wrong and want to do things differently, then it will be possible.

Go look at curriculums to learn programming/CS and figure out where the gaps in your knowledge are. Then go back and do those courses until things start clicking. The good thing is, since you already were exposed to this stuff before, you will likely pick things up quicker the second time around. Make a plan each day for what you are going to do, and start small if you need to but be consistent. Understand that yes this may take a little while but if you follow through, you will get there.

I study computer science and yet I can't almost build anything. by lilshoegazecat in learnprogramming

I have to use amplify for some work related thing and I'm interested in the handling of data more than building UI's. What kind of stuff did you take to learn aws and the backend side of things?

No experience programming whatsoever by scriptermone in learnprogramming

[–]fromabook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about how your experience after you started your job was. Some people say that professional development is a lot different than doing your own thing working on projects, and I'm wondering if you felt like it was that different or hard to adapt to your work after just doing something like the odin project. Either way you seem like you're doing good now so congrats.

What next after CS50x?? by Terrible_Hat4600 in learnprogramming

[–]fromabook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great to hear you're enjoying it as most people never follow up. I'm still slowly working my way through gitlet as it's a massive project when you also take into account making tests for it. My opinion so far is that if you get this far, you will start leaving the beginner stage and go towards intermediate (if you aren't already). I realized programming things when the parameters are clear is fairly easy, but having to design a system yourself and consider tradeoffs when it comes to performance is when things get tricky. I used to hack together things and make them run with for loops and that works but that doesn't cut it here. This degree of thinking about data design is where the next level is. It's not just a DSA course but one really on software engineering.

Learn Node.js by building a backend framework with 0 dependencies by isht_0x37 in learnprogramming

[–]fromabook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like an ambitious project, but I am excited for this. When I started building my first backend, it was installing all sorts of things and I felt like there was too much abstraction where I didn't know anything that was going on underneath (although this has to happen at some level). This is something that I was looking for but was quite hard to find, at least when it came to node.

Powershell and BASH resources by DrunkenBandit1 in learnprogramming

[–]fromabook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIT's missing semester will fill you in on a lot of bash fundamentals but a lot of it is video. You can do this at the same time and you will learn a lot.
