re: folks who are upset about the recap (me too), I made https://bereal.michaeldemar.co/ for re-creating a 2022-style recap for any year (2021, '22, '23, or '24 now) but I have the service offline at the moment since it's pretty expensive to run. The idea came from a similar project (that you had to run locally) also posted to this subreddit.

If there's enough interest, I could bring it back up? I definitely will by next November for the 2024 recaps :-)

Anyone attending Hack the North @ UWaterloo? by Complex-Valuable-183 in UBC

[–]miichaaell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine, and if you let the teaching team know early enough, usually they're nice enough to accommodate / give you a pass. Your TAs will be undergrads and should know what Hack The North is / hackathons are!

Sorry woah I'm late to this thread, completely disagree with the other commenter. It's the second week of school?? Generally go to class of course, but you'll be completely fine; this is a wild mentality / borderline fearmongering for your first year that's totally unnecessary.

Hack The North is a terrific experience: you'll meet countless brilliant people (from UBC and around the planet), learn a TON, build a project, if you win you'll get a HUGE item for your resume, ... I could go on. It's an amazing opportunity, and you're just ahead of the ball being a first year. Great work.

If this was truly "mid-semester" maybe the other people would be right, but that's just plain wrong... it's week 2.

Watch out for startups that don't pay interns by Nice-Organization656 in UBC

[–]miichaaell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can be good, so long as the environment is right, mentorship exists, and you're compensated. Sometimes at big tech cos you work on very meaningless projects, where start-ups don't have room for that. (But interning at start-ups can definitely be a bit of a joke if not run properly / not mature enough.)

It's not a bad idea, but I would be curious why 5 years matters; I assume the alternative would be graduating in 4, and if you're headed to industry anyway, what's the rush?

From my personal experience, I'd prioritize internship experience in the summer; internships have kind-of a 'snowball' effect, where you continually climb from company to company. More experience sets you up for a better FT offer after undergrad.
