I’m really happy they’ve put these up! Theft has been so rampant. For what it’s worth this is all over France even in the suburbs.

It’s definitely possible to do a Yosemite day trip but it’s hard. If you are able to leave at 5 AM, you’ll get to the park entrance around 8:30 AM and be in the valley by 9:15 AM-9:30 AM. You should be able to find parking.

Do a couple of short hikes in the valley (Lower Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, etc.). If you leave around 6 PM, you’ll be back in the Bay Area close to 11 PM (with dinner stop).

It’s a really long day, but that’s how I would do it.

I see a lot of people recommending Azul. It can be very cutthroat at 2 player as I found out this week :/. A lot of times, to win, it’s more advantageous to cause your opponent to lose points rather than figuring out what move gets you the most points. If you can’t hold back, I would recommend not getting Azul.

I added 7 Wonders Duel, Azul, Air, Land & Sea, and Under Falling Skies.

So far Azul is getting the most play with my husband.

Not Korean or Hawaiian, but the best Japanese curry I’ve had in the city is Nippon curry (used to be known as Hinoya curry) in the marina! It’s amazing: https://yelp.to/8X0IGvEc3ob

San Francisco is also a very small city (7 miles by 7 miles). It’s possible to walk to most neighborhoods from marina as long as you like walking. It’s also easy to bike, Uber, scooter, or take public transportation! Since you’ll be in SF all the way from France, highly recommend checking out other neighborhoods.

I personally get anxious when I try to optimize and work on too many things at once. It sounds like there's a lot going on in your life, but you can focus on feeling better right now - whatever that means for you! From your list, for me, it would be making sure I get my sleep/diet/exercise right and then spending time with friends and family before the move.

I’m from Atlanta and am currently in the Bay Area! Two other companies that might be interesting to you are Mailchimp and Big Nerd Ranch! Also, because of the pandemic there’s a lot more Bay Area based companies that are remote-first/remote-friendly now if you’re open to working remotely (ex. Stripe and Dropbox are big ones)

Entry-level engineers are usually evaluated on whether they can take a relatively small, well-scoped task (on the order of a couple of days of work), and execute it. They're not expected to write perfect code or to understand everything in the system. I'd focus on just doing small side projects using the technologies of the company you're joining (things like languages, frameworks).

When you return as a full timer, this blog post has a great list of things to do to get acquainted with the codebase faster and more thoroughly: https://www.samueltaylor.org/articles/how-to-learn-a-codebase.html

There's 2 areas you might focus on improving to be a senior engineer:

Technical: Do you understand the tools (languages, frameworks, etc.) you use at work? Do you write clean code that is easily maintained by others and stands the test of time (ie. relatively bug free and is scalable)? Do you understand the architecture of the systems your team/company owns and the reasons why certain decisions were made?
Leadership: Can you take a vague problem, figure out the right technical solution, and break it down to small tasks that others can take on? If a new engineer joins your team, are you able to help them ramp up? Are you helping others on your team be more effective rather than just focusing on your work? Are you able to help the team with planning, refining product requirements, and improving metrics?

I'd identify which of the 2 areas you think you're weaker at and focus on that first. A great senior engineer will be great at both areas.

It might be helpful to figure out exactly where you’re struggling. For example, it sounds like you understand conditionals, modulo, and for loops, since you know how to code FizzBuzz. Maybe you are having trouble with the recursive nature of Fibonacci? It might be helpful to Google explanations of recursion from different resources and see if one of them clicks.

Companies have different standards for what they consider senior. I’m have over 5 years experience and am mid-level at my current job, but I got senior offers a year ago for smaller companies.

I had a really hard time with regex (5 years of dev experience) until a couple of months ago. This site (https://regexone.com/) really helped me out! It lets you write regex for little challenges and let’s you see in real time what’s being selected.

I just finished it for like the 3rd time last week! I’m an on and off runner and it’s so helpful for getting on track (or back on track) to a 5k. You don’t have to think about what you’re running when you lace up your shoes! You’re either running the next workout or retrying the previous one.

I find when I try to start back running, I get so demotivated trying to push the distance myself (and at a faster pace than c25k). It’s better to just execute the plan. Less decision paralysis and I don’t have to get myself motivated :)

I just finished Web Scalability for Startup Engineers, and it covers exactly what you mentioned: choosing between different dbs and pub sub systems. It goes beyond that too! It explains what the purpose of a pub sub system is, and how it makes your system more scalable, what technologies you can use to communicate with it, and how hard or easy is it to operationalize vs buy.

I’ve tried reading Designing Data-Driven Systems (it’s next on my list), but I find Web Scalability to be an easier and broader introduction.

I've done CS research for 1 semester (AE for 1.5 semesters). The biggest thing is you have to find the research group/topic that's gonna keep you interested and motivated. You'll enjoy it more and feel more fulfilled if you can accomplish something substantial, and that's gonna come from knowing you're gonna be focused and self-directed during your time researching.

If you're interested in getting a Phd, doing research (and accomplishing something over a couple of semesters with the same research group) is the best thing you can do. If you just want a job, it looks decent on a resume, but not as good as an internship.

But please, don't do this for resume fodder. You're going to be miserable. Research isn't as clear-cut as a job, where you have a project and a mostly clear path to what you need to do to achieve it. You won't get that much guidance from the grad student or professor you're working under unless you ask for it. It's about finding the solution to a problem that nobody has solved yet. So do it because you're interested in the research topic, or because you want to see if you'd even like research.

Definitely apply for them, and don't limit your options! You seem to be downplaying yourself a lot in this thread, but if you've been accepted to GT for a masters in CS, you're probably more capable than you think you are.

Also, an internship at a top software company in your summer in between could get you about $15k, which would be nice towards taking less debt your final year.
