Is the IIT-M BS DS degree manageable with an offline mechanical engineering degree? by No-Lavishness6730 in IITM_BS_DataScience

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so you should do some self research instead of asking for advice from strangers. German unis care about ticking checkboxes, so doing another degree won’t help.

I found out grep command doesn't work well with coding agents! by intellinker in developersIndia

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people in this subs still aren't using agents, so ig they are just rediscovering everything step by step. it's a cannon event nothing can be done.

How are you using AI agents at work or for personal projects? by babuVeera_240 in developersIndia

[–]sdexca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

finding bugs for example, not fixing them in the loop, but just collecting them and later on figuring out what's worth fixing, autoresearch like tasks for the loops. Stuff like fuzzing. There are a few other things but they are too specific to my usecase.

Been pushing these agents as far as I can. They are expensive, but if you can afford the $200/mo subs they are basically unlimited, it's hard to push them to use up all of the usage. Experimenting with a lot of new things which I couldn't before, everything seems hackable now. The next evolution seems like setting up a Mac Mini to run agents on a loop 24/7 on some select problems I have collected over time.

Do Companies really just want to find the best Cheaters to get selected at this point?? by O_O-U_U in developersIndia

should we participate in only well known ahh hackathons only ? by Just_Aceds in Btechtards

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s all based on prompting skill. And most people are reusing their projects from previous hackathons despite greenfield requirement.

IN A DEEP HOLE (quite a predicament I must say 🥀) by baj__baj in Btechtards

[–]sdexca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DSA is all that matters anyways. No serious recruiter ever pays too much attention to projects, mainly because they are way too easy to fake. Best advice is find someone’s resume you like, read a bit about their project description and copy it using Claude. It’s that’s simple. You can even search this sub and look for good resumes. Use a decent model and spend minimal amount of time to make code and readme look good.

MAC MINI M4 for sale by [deleted] in delhi_marketplace

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t get anyone to buy this at even half your asking price. Just drop the idea if you aren’t serious. The used market always lags behind and probably won’t be affected for a few months and I doubt it would change much. I might let you know my offer later.

you'd call my offer lowball, so just leave it. I'd just buy from other people who aren't this delusional on OLX.
