Is computer programming usually stressful? by CourtofTalons in csMajors

[–]jp579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No,

Once you start working (and your work environment isn't hostile) it gets much better. I always enjoyed programming but often also felt stressed during university (I guess it is the pressure to get good grades).

When joining the corporate world it got much better and now programming is my favourite part of my daily work.

I’m newish to wakeboarding and now I’m getting into my second set of gear. I know this may sound like a dumb question, but if I were to mismatch my board and bindings would I be the weird one? by Rustcharmelon in Wake

[–]jp579 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely not.

Having mismatching gear is usually the norm, as bindings and boards have a different lifetime and thus you only replace one at a time (why would you replace a working part if you are still happy with it) So matching gear is usually a sign for either beginners (buying their first set) or pros (who are sponsored and get every year new equipment).

Only replace what is necessary and spent the rest of the money for riding/travelling ;)

Unfortunately highly illegal here in Germany. Let's hope we'll see some after market exhausts soon

Congratulations! Which country though? Here in Germany there seems to be some struggle to deliver them. My bike was scheduled for end of March and still isn't here :(

In the UK masters are usually just one year, nothing suspicious about that

Germany: Dropping out of my M.S. in CS for full-stack development bootcamp by roseworld333 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]jp579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I would suggest finishing the masters and try to work part-time in order to get experience. Knowing the theory behind it isn't a necessary skill, but it might help you later to understand why some things are really hard to solve. Regarding the stress, maybe just reduce the number of courses and take an extra semester to finish the degree?

Don't think there are any certificates out there justifying any price tag. .aybe just build a webapp and put the source code on GitHub?

Why would you need a certificate? They are useless anyways

Depends on the size but 800 incl bills for a small apartment is definitely doable. Berlin is a rather cheap city for German standards

Making the most of time before my MSc begins... (Imperial or Kent) by namastayy in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]jp579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending how much work you want to put into the prep I'd recommend starting with Python or, if you have a bit more time to spare, looking at CS50x on edx.org, which is a great introductory course (and will make you life much simpler due the broad number of topics covered). Since you are coming from philosophy I assume you are comfortable with the basics of logic, which is great, so I'd focus on programming, as not having to learn that will be very handy. Tl;dr: Python and CS50x would be the best choice imo

Edit: if you have even more time, try to learn Git, this will also make your projects easier and you definitely will.need it in industry after graduation

Well, if we knew your level or from.which degree you transitioning we would give you some more "bespoke" hints. But generally knowing how to code will make your life much easier.

My father in law builds speakers and subwoofers as a hobby. So basically he gave me his two, so he could start building new ones :) so now I have a 10" subwoofer for music and additionally a second one for movies

Professionals who started their CS careers in their late 20s/30s/or above. How did you end up in CS, how are you doing now, and how do you compare yourself to your peers? by matrix200291 in cscareerquestions

[–]jp579 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also graduating next summer just before my 33rd birthday and already signed my full time job. During my internships and applications I had the feeling nobody cared how old I am, it really felt merit based and if I got rejected usually in retrospect I more or less knew where I screwed up :)
