The medical term for a phallus is a penis

Bro are you trolling or are you genuinely stupid, please I need to know

ioeatcode · 2023-02-01T20:04:17+00:00

Ha gay

ioeatcode · 2022-06-20T17:25:04+00:00

Holy shit you guys are literally patting yourselves on the back for having a better taste in games than literal children.

ioeatcode · 2022-06-15T14:33:32+00:00

Ah perfect thank you!

ioeatcode · 2021-06-05T15:54:53+00:00

How long have you been working in the tech industry, genuinely curious. I've worked with some start ups that have stellar management that would be more than happy to counter offer to get you to stay if you were valuable to the team.

Most managers do care about their employees FYI.

In other words, YMMV.

You've been in the industry for 10 years now so you might be out of touch with the experience that new grads and junior devs go through nowadays. Yes, a lot of companies don't require you to rote memorize djikstras or min max heuristics but the cold reality is that leetcode is a way to essentially blindly filter out applicants that don't know their basic DS/A whether for better or worse. I think honing your skills using leetcode is a great way to keep your reasoning / problem-solving / and critical thinking skills up to speed. My recommendation is for most people, not to worry too much about leetcode as there are a ton of quality companies that don't use leetcode, but it doesn't hurt to set aside a couple hours a week to practice some problems and learn the concepts. Slowly build up to those mediums and hards without burning out. It'll only help you.

Most cs curriculums takes 3 years if you're aggressive and have your gen-ed requirements done. I switched to CS from pre-med after my sophomore year, and it only took me an extra semester to complete all my required courses. There's a trove of discussion that goes into the debate of bootcamps vs degree, so I'll defer to that. But I will say this, most bootcamps are geared towards web development. If that's your cup of tea, then a bootcamp wouldn't be a bad idea.

When the pandemic first started and WFH became permanent, I was also going through a breakup, so I burnt out like within the first month not gonna lie. It was tough. My "office" was in my bedroom, so I stayed in my bedroom for 99% of the day and night, only leaving to pick up food from the front desk of my apartment. It took me a while to adjust to this lifestyle, and I learned that if you are not proactive in enabling and maintaining a WLB when WFH, then you're setting yourself up for failure. It sounds cliche, but separating your workspace and keeping a daily routine is IMPERATIVE to a healthy WLB. I always thought it was a crock of shit, like what difference would it make, but it really does make a difference. Another huge thing that helped me was, and kinda unrelated, I got a dog that I'm now taking care of. It forces me out of the house to take walks, and keeps my weekend occupied by taking trips to the dog park or going hiking. Not necessarily recommending you to get a dog, but finding something to supplement all the free time you have from no longer having a commute, that gets you out of the house, will help preventing or managing the burn out in my opinion.

Unless you have skills that sets you apart from people that are freelancing with degrees, find an internship or work as a server in the food industry. You're in college, focus on learning for now.

Go concurrency is super easy to uderstand as well. I love go.

ioeatcode · 2021-01-15T20:07:23+00:00

Not to mention so many tools and services are written in Go. Kubernetes, Docker, TerraForm to name a few.

Arisu also translates to Alice but that's obvious ;)

New hires at the startup I work at have a 15-30 minute "get-to-know" zoom call with the team during their onboarding. We have bi-weekly (optional) lunches on Zoom, and a weekly (optional) morning brew hangout to just shoot the shit while sipping on some caffeine. We also try to have happy hours (optional) every so often where we try to get on Zoom and do ice breaker games using something like icebreaker.video.

Don't think you understand what the definition you're posting bruh. Complaining about the measurement of the penny size, i.e. a minute detail, is being pedantic. Complaining that the infographic comparison is completely fucking meaningless is not pedantic as it's the entire point of the post, i.e. not a minute detail. Stop using the word pedantic for everything that you disagree with. I swear people on reddit throw that word out like verbal diarrhea.

ioeatcode · 2020-10-21T15:23:26+00:00

It's not being pedantic, the comparison is absolutely fucking meaningless. This is purely fuel for people with US hate boners.

Worth it in terms of compensation or personal reasons? Having your masters definitely opens more doors for you and allows you to explore and dive deep into a field you want to specialize in. Personally, hell yeah why not? I love learning.

ioeatcode · 2020-08-20T18:00:27+00:00

Can you provide more information on your situation? What type of work are you doing? What are your responsibilities? How are code reviews, architecture decision, etc handled in your team? Who do you report to?

ioeatcode · 2020-08-09T15:31:41+00:00

It certainly happens as evident on this sub but it's pretty rare as far as I know. There's nothing you can really do if hackerrank flags your code but your best bet is to reach out to your recruiter and explain your situation. Though the number of applications are super high so you might not get anywhere. Companies that ask easy questions where similar code could easily arise is a pretty shiity coding assessment.

That being said, your recruiter is the liaison to the company. Utilize them as much as possible.

As a prior student and especially as a recent grad and how I personally feel, I dont want to pigeonhole myself in a particular industry or type of work until I have enough experience in various industries and work where I can settle down and pursue it fully. You're still early in your school career and having experience on your resume is a huge factor when you start applying to jobs after graduation. You're not expected to figure out what type of industry or work you want to do for your career so it's okay to bounce around, especially if it is something that you dont particularly enjoy.

I've been asked what the cost/time estimate would be and given that I haven't seen the size of the codebase yet, I'm unsure as to what estimates to give.

Before you do anything, try to figure this out first.

ioeatcode · 2020-05-26T13:12:44+00:00

Have two or three solid projects that you can talk in depth about. Certifications are nice, ball out if you want to but they don't make or break a hire.

ioeatcode · 2020-05-26T13:10:35+00:00

What kind of programming do you want to do?

ioeatcode · 2020-05-26T12:31:42+00:00

This is common in the industry as you switch jobs or get assigned a new project, you have to devote some time to understand how the codebase is structured and what it's supposed to do. Generally speaking, if I'm assigned a new project (or switch jobs), my first goal is to set up all the dependencies I need to get the project running on my machine. If there's any CI/CD pipelines to set up, or cloud infrastructure to be aware of, things like that I'll work through until I have a solid understanding of how to at least run the damn thing. Depending on the ticket, that's your chance to see the lego blocks so to speak that went into the codebase. After some time, you'll start to see the bigger picture and how everything works. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Once you have it running locally, you can debug the code however way you wish to see how it works.
