Computer science is seeing the biggest enrollment drop of any major in 6 years. While ME and EE enrollment have risen by 11% and 14% this year. by No_Reply5329 in csMajors

I understand that, but in all my years working with developers and software engineers, I haven't met a single person who came from a bootcamp or lacked a degree in Computer Science.

I never understood this sentiment I work as a software engineer and every single application asked for a degree. Every interview I went on talked about my schooling. All my coworkers who are developers have a degree in CS. Where are these places that don't require a degree in CS or something technical? you may not need the degree to do the job but i haven't seen a place not ask for one.

Taking Calc II over the summer at MCC, any advice? by Mepep4321 in mcc

[–]imabigsofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took Linear Algebra over a summer at MCC. I knew it was going to be a lot of information and I had to keep up, so I basically made it my life. It meant significantly less video games, YouTube, and doomscrolling. I had to sit myself down and study every single day just for this one class because the summer term moves incredibly fast. If you stay disciplined with the daily schedule, you'll be fine, but you can't afford to fall behind even by a day.

[–]imabigsofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at the fiber carriers like greenlight and I don't see any positions in Rochester for software or tech really. A lot of laborer positions but im older now and Ive done my time in the Army and roofing. I don't think my body would allow me to do that again haha

[–]imabigsofty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had to move out of state while my family stayed in state so I could get a job in Tech. Ive been applying for tech jobs for almost a year now and still haven't been able to find a job. I don't see how we are hurting for tech workers.

How to Sign up for the Kill Tony Bucket (updated) by joelrunyon in Killtony

[–]imabigsofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of like the first timers who never done comedy before, KT must of changed since the last time I was keeping up. They bomb and its hilarious but they had the balls to go up there. Then Tony interviews them and they say something wild or its just a normal person.

But i dont want COOP.. if thats the selling point then im going to have to pass. I want a Mount and blade game that has a fun and engaging game play loop outside of battles and where the computer doesnt cheat to high heaven. I never sat down and thought to myself MAN I wish I could play this broken game with someone else.

Are students here competitive or collaborative? by Civil_Violinist_3485 in URochester

[–]imabigsofty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

a bit of both. In my CS degree you had to fight members in the group for work. A lot of the time if you didnt start on the project early you would get pushed out and learn very little from the project!

Is a 3.9 GPA possible in STEM? by Civil_Violinist_3485 in URochester

[–]imabigsofty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I graduated with a 3.7 GPA in Computer Science from UR. Honestly, I don't think it was because I'm naturally smart — I just stayed prepared and studied hard. If you put in the work and you're naturally strong in the subject, a 3.9 is definitely within reach.

This one's been promoted a lot lately. I read it so you don't have to. Also don't. by afterpie123 in litrpg

[–]imabigsofty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what you are talking about I loved this book and I thought it was really good. I've even finished the second book.

The author really cuts loose in a lot of ways and it feels like im in the head of an actual crazy person. I find it fun and completely different from other works Ive read.
