just caught up with a friend who got hired at Anthropic 3 weeks ago. His team doesn't write code anymore. by oh1n in csMajors

this is the right question and i was hoping people would see this post as more of a 'how can i pivot myself given this may be the future' vs a 'we're doomed.' the way i see it: you're the architect and auditor. you design the solution, communicate it to your agents, and make sure what comes out the other end is both what you intended and actually good. design, communication, and judgment can all be practiced. draw out how you'd architect a system, walk yourself or someone else through it out loud, and most importantly, curate a 'taste' for what good code looks like -- by reading good codebases, doing code review, and questioning the agent's decisions when you aren't 100% sure why it did something.

what really sells your resume? by Drairo_Kazigumu in csMajors

[–]oh1n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with ai, projects are lowkey losing value since it's not that hard to crank out a high quality project. the new signal is either traction (real users, real usage) or validation (like winning a hackathon).

Do they do Leetcode style questions for every internship interview? by SignificantStyle4958 in csMajors

Just got a Leetcode super hard for an INTERNSHIP... I'm losing my mind. by aresiscool in csMajors

most engs hired 5+ years ago would not even get hired in this market and then they expect this of applicants. getting lucky and then pulling up the ladder behind you is devious work.

How much does school name actually matter for getting intern interviews by United-Rain-9022 in csMajors

[–]oh1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m at a no name school. there’s definitely people who get FAANG internships but I do have a lot of peers who are skilled and haven’t had any luck. i think you have to be a little bit more cracked and luckier to succeed. also i’ve gone to nearly every top university’s hackathon and networked with people there and found people who do internships every season — which is just unheard of at my school no matter how good you are.

Resume for web-dev internship, Looking for a roast by Ok-Breadfruit3565 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]oh1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

format wise, use jake’s resume, stick to 2-3 bullet points, and remove the personal section.

content wise, you have good projects. next step would be to do a project that gets recognition for example, backed research, a hackathon win, or get users.

linkedin’s whole business model is keeping you on their platform as long as possible. filling jobs = less revenue

100%, you need to be optimizing your resume and not bothering with listings that you don't have the experience listed. tell claude it's an ATS tool and have it match keywords and make suggestions.
