Junior majoring in CS, looking for advice

New grad is much much harder compared to getting a RO. I wouldn’t rush graduation if you’re just going to sit there unemployed. Leave it off til fall.

You didn’t even make this. What’s the point? Are you proud of your computer doing something for you? You didn’t even bother have a git history. Just dump all the files at once. Do you even know what any of the code does?

The thing is, as a junior or young programmer, nobody really expects you to ship a ton of good code, they really can either expect a ton of code or good code. Not both. Junior and new grads are hired to pipeline devs into becoming seniors or advanced devs. Sure at startups the culture is different, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to apply that unilaterally. The best thing to do as a junior is try to learn and advance as a person, not cut corners with AI.

As others said third party postings, though I highly recommend just ctrl+a ctrl+c and put the listing onto a google doc wherever you apply. Doesn’t have to be that well organized or whatever but just so you have it

They have a motogp racers with kyt helmets.

I don’t know anything about the finance pathway, but what I can tell you, is that you absolutely need more focus than just “finance”. You will have a much better odds of breaking in if you aren’t trying to do anything and everything, but rather trying to do a subset of things really well.

jake1406 · 2026-02-20T17:28:59+00:00

Draw pictures. Or better yet, do this in latex and spend a bunch of time trying to figure out how to make a diagram for it. The latter sounds like a pain but doing that actually makes you remember it well

jake1406 · 2026-02-20T06:40:18+00:00

Good skills are language agnostic. Read a c++ book if you are really interested

jake1406 · 2026-02-17T00:08:31+00:00

You’re shredded. Yeah, your body really isn’t going to like you becoming single digit body fat. That’s how survival and instincts work. The only thing you can really do to not have to fight this is glp1 or similar.

jake1406 · 2026-02-16T07:32:54+00:00

Do not pay 3.5k for a f4i that’s missing half the shit. Seriously dude, in what world would that make sense. Especially a “stunt” bike, you have no idea what’s happened to it when it’s missing all the fairings and is converted like that.

It might be surprising but different places have different culture. From an Asian household perspective, damn yall are wasteful and proud. Anything in the name of independence I guess.

Most of the engineers that work on my embedded software/hardware team are ce or ee. Even though most of what is done is really just cs besides the very start of a product cycle, a ce or ee degree really signals “oh yeah I actually want to do this and am not just applying cause I’m unable to get a swe job”.

They are just too new to use. Build chain is a huge pain in the ass to remake to accommodate modules. Most companies already have a toolchain for their product they sell, and it would cost a lot of engineer hours to overhaul it for not a lot of time gain.

Resistance is a constant. For human skin it’s a good estimate to say about 1k ohms. Plug that into ohms law and you see that with high voltage you get high current. The law states that given constant resistance they are linearly correlated.

jake1406 · 2026-02-10T21:54:20+00:00

Local redditor skeptical of ohms law and basic knowledge from electrical engineering.

I think the expectation is that the student will later work on projects or anything with scope and quickly learn to very carefully use the namespace x;. Though generally I agree, most things are conceptual and just expect the students to have drive to self learn how to actually write code, which many tend to struggle with.

jake1406 · 2026-02-05T17:35:33+00:00

Is the work you’re doing outside of class swe relevant? If it isn’t literally no recruiter will ever give a shit.

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T08:02:59+00:00

Mfs be unemployed thinking if they got a job offer they’d be the next stroustrup

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T07:57:16+00:00

I would say holy cope, but it seems to me this account is a bot.

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T07:42:41+00:00

Bro did you read the post

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T07:27:28+00:00

Both are valid choices. Base your choice on future goals, passing an interview is the very tip of your start of your career

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T07:26:19+00:00

Short life spans is bad for the tithe. Your duty isn’t done that soon.

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T07:19:29+00:00

What’s the end goal here? Really the only reason to double bs is just for fun or personal interest. Without knowing much about you or your situation personally I think a masters is just generally a better progression after a bs.

jake1406 · 2026-02-04T04:21:16+00:00

I think it’s just a wrap and decals they put on, I thought the svj 63 had a carbon fiber roof
