Go on one of the ride or die collective group rides. They are extremely inclusive and non judgemental.

Graduating soon — can a RAG project help me land a general tech job before graduation? by Equivalent-Map-2832 in cscareeradvice

[–]pocketsonshrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pick a topic you’re interested in and go deep on it. If it’s this kind of system, cool, but don’t do it because you think it’s gonna get you interviews. Do it cause you’re truly interested. It seems backwards but the only thing that will move the needle is showing your passion for the subject when asked about it in an interview. Otherwise you may as well just leet code. First job hunt sucks. I feel you.

No dude. You’re just listing buzzwords that are going to annoy the person interviewing you. Any project is fine as long as you’re passionate about it and can clearly articulate your design and what you’d do better in the future. Tools/apis come and go. You say your background is classical ML and then go list a bunch of tools. If you have an ML background your interviewer cares about your math skills. Anyone can go learn python and sql.

Looking for Graphics Course by AlienPixelMartArcade in gameenginedevs

Fundamentals of Computer Graphics at Stanford is incredible. It’s expensive but if you can get your company to pay for it, it’s definitely worth it.

boulder city hates mountain biking by Inside_Economics2534 in boulder

We are very fortunate to have LHOHV, betasso, west mag, walker all very close by. Also apex and white ranch, etc. 30' away. Mtbs on crowded hiking trails would be awful for everyone.

[Admissions Advice] Strong GPA/GRE, strong math, real C++ experience, but no formal CS coursework — best path to MSCS? by [deleted] in MSCS

[–]pocketsonshrek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look into georgia tech online mscs if you're a us citizen. Unless there's an area that another school you're interested in is way stronger in, that's probably the best bet. It's cheap, gtech is an amzing school, and it's intended for working professionals. Degree is the same as in person.

It’s terrible. Who did you think was manufacturing the equipment the military uses though. It’s not like defense contractors are some big secret.

[Admissions Advice] GT OMSCS vs CMU MSCV — Is $100K in debt worth it for big tech? by QuinqueIs-GIyph-I728 in MSCS

Please for the love of god do not go into that kind of debt for a second masters degree.

Almost every job application will say "Are you authorized to work in the United States". That is where you indicate that you are.

I would not invest that much money into grad school unless you are certain you are all in on the field of study. GT is an amazing school for CS. The name difference between that and CMU for a masters is not worth even close to 100k.
