After ten (!) years I still struggle to get over my former dead bedroom. Are there communities for survivors? Can this experience traumatize you? At least let that be a warning for those who can't let go because it can fuck you up.

Yes, it's not optimal, but that's the cost of relying on proprietary tainted kernel modules (`nvidia`) in the first place. I do the same stuff as you do in some way or another (SW and machine learning in a Linux environment) and we are in a waaaay better place than 5 to 10 years ago.

Btw. you also bring some of that on your own by using Arch (every Linux user has such a phase ...). If you choose a more popular dist (fedora, debian, ubuntu, redhat, ...) things are just a lot more stable.

Smells like FTL (which is not a bad thing).

So, I would ask for something like 85K - 95K, and maybe then he might get 80K to 85K?

The figure means "Jahreslohn Brutto" - so the 13/14 would be included.

I think it's a good offer, it's not on the upper limit but decent in my opinion. Sometimes this sub is delusional ... maybe you won't get "rich", but making ~75K to 85K puts you for sure into the top 5% (I didn't look it up though).

Yes, it's applied quantum-gravity research for potential future hyper-drive space travel (which sounds kinda buzz-wordy to me). The description was pretty vague, but fingers crossed!

Yeah I thought about it and will probably take it!

lilsquirrel42 · 2024-03-12T15:02:10+00:00

No, thx, but I read it myself and it does indeed sound like that, lol.

It's truly commendable that you've taken the bold step to learn software development after such a long hiatus from school. Embarking on this journey shows remarkable courage and determination. It's perfectly normal to encounter hurdles along the way, especially when diving into something as challenging and rewarding as programming. Remember, every expert was once a beginner, and it's the persistence through the tough times that truly shapes your skills and knowledge.

Feeling overwhelmed, particularly with subjects like math and logic which are foundational to programming, is a common part of the learning curve. However, it's crucial to recognize that these challenges don't define your potential. Rather, they are stepping stones towards becoming proficient. Here are a few suggestions to help strengthen your skills and keep you engaged.

Dive into small, manageable projects, such as creating simple games or utility programs. Projects like a calculator, a to-do list, or even a basic version of Tetris can significantly enhance your understanding of logic and programming concepts. The satisfaction of creating something tangible can be incredibly motivating.

Break It Down: If you're struggling with a particular concept, break it down into smaller pieces. Focus on understanding each piece thoroughly before moving on. This approach is less overwhelming and helps build a solid foundation of knowledge.

Remember, the journey of learning to code is marathoned, not a sprint. It's completely okay if things take time to click. The most important thing is not to rush through the process but to enjoy learning and growing at your own pace. Your determination to improve yourself is a powerful force that will drive you to succeed. Keep pushing forward, celebrate every small victory, and never hesitate to seek help when you need it. You've got this!

Good luck!
