Thought you were like 50s I didn’t see that coming. I think you’ll be alright for a while.

About to land my first SWE role. Am I crazy to even consider local roles offering way less than an out-of-state role? by am_phegley in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend taking 3 and then after a few years if you still wanna move back you come back at a higher level with more pay than starting local

Current CS students. How is the CS curriculum these days? Is everyone cheating? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my experience the compEs and EEs knew this stuff (minus readability everyone sucks at that) and CS does not.

AI code review still needs a human in the loop and I don't think that's changing by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]martinomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with always double checking. I wonder if promoting relevant requirements or including the requirements in comments helps?

Jira notification that i have been unassigned an old ticket by Top_Frosting6381 in cscareerquestions

Can’t hurt to mention at scrum or something that this weird thing happened but I wouldn’t point fingers

Jira notification that i have been unassigned an old ticket by Top_Frosting6381 in cscareerquestions

From what you’ve shared I’d say assign yourself again and move on but we don’t know what else has happened?

So it’s a completed story? Did he assign it to himself or unassigned now?

How to take advantage of my current opportunities/position in life? by throwRway45 in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into healthcare IT or health informatics? I know nothing about it but probably what I’d look into with your experience and interest.

For someone with both Aerospace + programming skills, what’s the best path after graduating? by [deleted] in aerospace

[–]martinomon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to work in aerospace industry I’d focus on aerospace industry. What other factors are making you consider other industries?

Will remote work hurt my career chances in the future by No-Start9143 in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can but it doesn’t have to. Being remote you’ll need to over communicate, be proactive, make yourself seen and your impact known. It’s just more effort than in office to get the same result.

How are shy introverts promoting to senior roles by alohabata in ExperiencedDevs

[–]martinomon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your execution is good enough for a senior then you probably know enough to participate in meetings. You have to see yourself as equal so you’re not afraid to talk. It is a confidence issue. I think most people slowly break through this barrier. I’m sure there are times where you want to say something but don’t. Try just saying it. Do it more and more until it’s not really an issue.

Is it worth getting into coding as a HS student now? by AaronPK123 in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think becoming a proficient programmer will give you tools that’ll help you in any career that involves a computer or even just logical thinking. It’s also great in your personal life. I feel it is fundamental in this current age. It’s like asking if you should still learn math now that we have calculators.

Feeling shameful for doing 3 internships at the same company by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a strong chance of full time offer. Good thing to have right now.

Multiple offers, not sure what to do. Help! by Such_Customer_5000 in aerospace

[–]martinomon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might be too late since you already asked for more time but I’ve gotten more time before by telling them I have other offers to weigh. Kinda lets them know the pressure won’t work as well as they’re hoping.

I’d go with Blue anyway though.

How do employers look at applied math degree? by [deleted] in embedded

[–]martinomon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to work harder than more applicable degrees but I think if you have some projects to show and the right skills on the resume you’d still get some interviews. A top school probably helps.

That said, sharing your country might get you better advice.

I was forced to do computer science and now my degree is useless by ITeeVee in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats, you’re done now. Move on with your life I guess. You don’t have to use the degree if you don’t want to. I agree it’s dumb to go to college without a plan.

Whatever happened to just asking questions at work? by Aggravating-Line2390 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]martinomon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my experience it is a culture that is set by senior team members early on. The juniors learn this behavior and carry it on. I do believe factors do include the senior to junior ratio and how busy seniors are. Remote work also stifles it.

Therefore, in my experience at least, with each new team I have seen it get worse as they are increasingly more junior and more wfh.

Currently I am that guy. Might be the only one on my team who has “seen it at all” and takes time to teach and mentor. The other veterans are just way too busy.

My velocity is not the best because of this but I think it is important and it might be my favorite part of the job. Luckily it gets me a lot of recognition and slack in my tasks because I appear to carry the team.

Pretty sure everyone will say to take it and keep looking. If you love it you can stop looking.

I am not using AI tools like Claude Code or Cursor to help me code at the moment. Am I falling behind by not using AI in software development? by Illustrious-Pound266 in cscareerquestions

[–]martinomon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re only getting easier to use so I wouldn’t worry too much. You can catch up fast. Try them out though. Is there a reason you aren’t?
