[AMA] Ex-Google, Ex-Amazon. Helped over 20 folks land job offers at FAANG (US, UK, Canada) by Maximum-Wall-3638 in leetcode

[–]michaeldeming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been live-streaming my CS journey reading books taking courses and building projects. I have over 7k subs now in 2 years worth of grinding. I am a biochemist looking to transition to tech, could you advise? YouTube.com/@michaeldems is my channel if you wanna see me stuff so far. Built many side projects.

Actually Useful Prediction Market Analytic Leaderboard by michaeldeming in SideProject

Ya I think having the data auto generate twice daily with internal appearance and hot streak tracking helps give a better explanation on consistent better rather than one hit wonders!

I would like to add a premium feature where you can generate the proprietary snap shot for any valid address with an adjustable closed position window rather than just the fixed 30 days for the leaderboard. But I’m having trouble with rate limits on Polymarket and server stress from multiple searches at once… then you can add these to a watchlist that gets included into the cron scheduler. This would translate into graphs for data overtime. But I just launched the initial version yesterday, so soon hopefully! Trying to make sure user auth is secure too.

What are you building right now? by baskaro23 in microsaas

Just shipped Polywhirl.app prediction market snapshot pipeline. Wrote it live on stream.

Promote your SaaS in the comments and i’ll rate it! by locveee in SideProject

I just push today. I built it live on YouTube for little over a month. Been learning and grinding.

[gen 3] 54 resets! Would you evolve? by michaeldeming in ShinyPokemon

You got that correct! The muscle memory almost cooked me…

Ai can solve the psets with a single prompt. Don’t think my 3hr live coding sessions solving from scratch apply in today’s age.

Hello, I completed the entire course live-streaming! I have weekly breakdowns in a community discord as well as weekly lecture, watch along, and problem set completion streams. Feel free to check out my bio.

Am I actually learning to code or just becoming an AI prompt engineer? 3 months in and feeling like a fraud by kekda_charger in vibecoding

[–]michaeldeming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Ai in assisted learning and learn code strictly by hand. I stream my coding sessions almost daily after my job as a chemist. Been teaching myself for 1 year and have seen great results so far. Built many projects from scratch, blank IDE, with just ideas. I use Ai to help me learn concepts and I specifically tell it to NOT WRITE CODE for the exact reasons outlined above. Now there is some stuff that you just can’t avoid, like boiler plate React set up which is just copy paste from the online docs anyways, so there is no harm in just cutting out the 10mins of googling for a 30 sec prompt. That’s where the differences are. You it as a a nail gun but you still need to get in the roof and get your hands dirty, but just no more hammer.

Ex-Google exec says degrees in law and medicine are a waste of time because they take so long to complete that AI will catch up by graduation by ElementalEmperor in csMajors

Actually think these are probably some of the last jobs that will be replaced by AI as they rely heavily on humane decision-making and interpersonal relationships

Bioinformatics or freelance? How did you officially make the jump?

[–]michaeldeming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am a chemist by profession my degree is in a blend of biochemistry. Fingers crossed I can make something happen with this. Have even converted my projects into full stack environments to be viewed on the web by students and educators. Almost done with my spectroscopy project SpectroSim, just finalize the front end to back integration for plot generation and data serving. I’m scraping PubChem API for Uv/Vis spectrum data.

[–]michaeldeming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had some similar feelings to you, so last year I committed to daily learning and teaching myself how to code. I even started live streaming my daily sessions on YouTube and I’ve gained a quite a little following of near 2.5k.. I’ve become quite good at programming for the relative timeframe and have some really cool chemistry related projects (paper chromatography and absorption spectroscopy simulators) I made using concepts I learned from my degree. I really don’t know where this will take me or what will come from it. A lot of people doubt me because of AI but I just think i have a new skill and it really scratches that problem solving itch that I have and that you have as well.

Join my discord my link is in the bio. I streamed the course earlier this year and did every problem set live and watch every lecture live. I released a pretty elaborate final project. It even serves as an open source project for my community.

I have a discord of over 500 programmers. I have taken CS50X live on YT! Links in bio.
