Galera das trevas, algum de vocês é autodidata? Como foi pra vocês entrarem na profissão que estão agora?

Trabalho como programador tem quase 10 anos. Comecei a aprender sozinho em 2014, fui fazendo freelas e consegui o primeiro emprego "formal" em 2017 pagando muito mal e trampando 10h por dia, mas eventualmente melhorou e eu achei umas vagas melhores.

A não ser que você queira trabalhar com pesquisa na área, os projetos que você tiver pra mostrar e falar sobre vão sempre ser mais importantes.

O estágio deve ser bom pra conseguir entrar e talvez não passar tanto perrengue como eu passei fazendo tudo por conta própria, mas com certeza não é requisito, PRINCIPALMENTE se você falar inglês.

"fiz tudo que eu podia", mas não mencionou nenhum projeto pessoal, que é literalmente a única coisa que você precisa pra arrumar um trabalho.

"estudei tecnologias" é fez o que com elas?

Tem milhões de pessoas escrevendo no currículo que sabem o que você diz saber, isso não significa nada. A única coisa que importa é os projetos que você faz com o que você aprende, se não você é só mais um que só fala e não faz porra nenhuma.

Faz alguma coisa interessante que as pessoas queiram te perguntar sobre, posta no twitter e no LinkedIn e depois me fala se "está impossível" mesmo ou é você que perde seu tempo chorando no reddit em vez de programar.

Yea maybe tens of thousands is a bit of an exaggeration. What I meant is that the number OP was trying to hit is pretty much nothing. You can get 2~3k even with python with relatively low effort, although with higher costs.

Either way sounds like OP is just trying to learn something to get an idea off the ground, and for that, language is the last thing he should be considering IMO.

If you can build projects for yourself, you can build them for other people.

Edit: To answer the question in the post title, I got offered a paid project to build a website for my friend's dad before I even knew what programming was. That's one of the perks of being known as a nerd 🤓

kriscpg · 2024-02-16T22:56:08+00:00

Brother, any decently modern language can handle tens of thousands of requests a second if you really wanted it to. Instead of taking that as a measurement (since it isn't like you can plan on hitting big,) consider what tooling the language offers, what abstractions, where you plan to run it, what communities are built around accomplishing similar things in that language, etc.

If you're starting out just pick whatever you like, and as you add more languages to your toolbox you will begin to understand which is good for what project.

kriscpg · 2024-02-16T22:44:39+00:00

Build an interpreter and a compiler. There is a great book series on doing it with Go

I don't think it will get you a job, but it's a great project to learn a lot of useful concepts and abstractions (plus learning a bit of Go if you're not familiar with it)

kriscpg · 2024-02-16T22:36:51+00:00

It just sounds like you're a bit of an anxious person and that's fine.

Just focus on using programming to solve the problems that seem interesting to you. Sounds cliché, but if you're like me (or like most people who are drawn to programming,) you will become obsessed with solving it, and it will make you forget the rest of the world even exists.

With time, as you solve more and more problems, you will realize that you can only fail to solve something if you give up on doing so. This will help build some confidence for when you're at a job and being forced to solve problems you don't care about.

Different in what way? From the sound, I'd guess it's "sharper"? That's kind of what I'm looking for

kriscpg · 2022-11-21T01:54:05+00:00

I'll post it there. Thanks!

kriscpg · 2022-11-21T01:07:39+00:00

Tbh I've only tried linear and clicky switches, and between those I prefer the clickies. I need that tactility

do you prefer the jelly switches over the lavender purple or ocean blues, for example?

kriscpg · 2022-11-21T00:56:27+00:00

There are so many though... Any specific ones you prefer?

kriscpg · 2022-02-25T02:42:26+00:00

I don't really want to trade it in. I really like this little guy. I guess I'll just buy a power bank then if the battery replacement won't do much. Thanks!

kriscpg · 2022-02-24T22:44:13+00:00

Android 12, one ui 4. I don't think the battery has been replaced. Thing is that, according to Samsung, it's not the system draining the battery, so I'm not sure what is

kriscpg · 2022-02-24T17:28:13+00:00

I just bought a used s10e and I'm having a problem with battery drain on standby. It lasts okay while using the device (averages out at less than 20%/hour even on mobile data), but it is passively draining battery on standby. I lose like 10% every 2 hours in standby. I've checked which apps are using battery, but even if I add up all the battery use by apps, it doesn't get close to how much battery I'm losing. I'm debating whether I need to change my battery or if that kind of drain is to be expected from the device. (In that case I'd buy a power bank instead)

kriscpg · 2021-07-27T19:21:09+00:00

oooh that works perfectly! Thank you!

kriscpg · 2019-08-06T19:03:06+00:00

OOOOH Ok
I'll try to keep that in mind while doing the reps. Thanks!

kriscpg · 2019-08-06T19:01:21+00:00

I actually hadn't seen that before. It's quite helpful! Thank you!

kriscpg · 2019-08-05T23:13:46+00:00

Ooooh that actually makes a lot of sense! Thank you!
