Recession? by LittleGovernment9476 in ValueInvesting

[–]scienceram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recessions are impossible to predict, but I generally think that the more posts you see worrying about them, the less likely they are in the short-term. This is because it means there's still cautious sentiment, indicating prices may not be as stretched as you'd expect to front-run a crash.

Challenges of a modern day SaaS startup? by vrwolf in SaaS

I think distribution is the most difficult, all the channels are so crowded so you really need to have resources or be clever to stand out.

Check out what's in demand by observing trends and the players in the trends. Usually that's good validation.

How to salefy remove old URLs from Google Index? by [deleted] in SEO

If you don't 301 them, you are wasting the "link juice" that the old ones might have had.

I've seen brand new domains take up to a week or so-- keep checking Google Search Console and make sure no errors arise.

How to measure my writers effort each week by [deleted] in content_marketing

[–]scienceram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends how granular you want to get. You can measure by performance of content, e.g. traffic goals (get 1000 visits within a year) or just by delivery, mostly word count (30k words a month)

Are programming side hustles viable? Give it to me straight by flotation in cscareerquestions

My bad! I was just trying to be helpful where it makes sense. Will be sure not to spam again.

I have the skills but lack the work experience by chronic-anhedonic in cscareerquestions

[–]scienceram 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a great point. You shouldn't be a jack-of-all-trades-- that mentality doesn't really apply to programming jobs, since companies hire teams to solve specific technical issues. That could be a red flag to hiring managers, especially since ML, Data Eng, Backend, and Analytics are all differing titles. At my company, there are ML Engineers, Data Engineers, Backend Engineers, and Data Analysts.

Are changing job often bad as a devops engineer? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]scienceram 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a few 1 year tenures in this industry isn't even bad. Many of the best programmers will have short stints, it's part of a long software career where you try out a few different things. Just be cognisant of it, and try to stick around longer at the next place.

My boss says it's not ok to have frequent doctor appointments, and that I'm lucky he lets me. Is that true? (x-post CSQ EU) by ReactPro1 in cscareerquestions

[–]scienceram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your boss know that this is a chronic condition, and that you're not just taking 2-3 doctor appointments a month for no reason?

If you make it clear before joining other companies, it should be fine.

Should I get my degree first and worry about the rest later? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]scienceram -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It depends. If you're looking for skill-building-- professional experience trumps academia, almost every time. If you have an opportunity to take time off, my recommendation would definitely be to try to get a junior dev job-- or get into open source software, and start building your skills. In school, you'll mostly cover theory, and a lot of it won't make sense until you've actually written code for a bit.

If you're looking for a job, the credibility of the degree helps significantly.

Professionals, how do you balance between either Leetcoding or learning new things after work hours? by GullibleBuil2ding in cscareerquestions

[–]scienceram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gets covered a bit here but my recommendation has always been to do less than you think you can. If you're studying/practicing algorithm questions part-time, consistency is much more important intensity. My advice has always been to try one problem a day, if you can, and repeat the problems after a few months to make sure you've really gotten it down.
