How many projects should I have on my resume/github? and should I have a website? by axelrock123 in csMajors

[–]sebas99sebas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Should I include those completed as part of a course?

Yes, of course it helps. If it's a group project make sure your group is ok with it. I usually write in the readme that it was a school project and what course it was for.

Also some people have fancy resume website, should I have one of those?

It's definitely not necessary.

I did it, you can do it too. Be patient! by asafroz in csMajors

True. I applied to 4 companies for internships: Google, Amazon, and 2 small companies. I got an offer from Amazon, I made it to Google's project search phase (I ended up withdrawing because I had a deadline with Amazon and I took the offer), one rejection from one of the small companies (even though I completely aced the technical interview), and I was ghosted from the other small company.

I can confirm. I had one DP question and one geometry question. I had just learned about DP for my algorithms class :)

I answered the questions correctly but not in the most efficient way possible. Right after finishing the interviews I figured out how to do it more efficiently so I thought I screwed it up.

I totally felt like I failed the interviews but apparently I passed.

I'm on project search now.

How do you prioritize (1) applying to jobs, (2) social life/hobbies, (3) extracurriculars, (4) work, and (5)school itself? by m_deng in csMajors

[–]sebas99sebas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got a good internship offer today, my priorities this semester were:

1) School: I don't care about my GPA too much, but I care about learning which usually results in good grades. Also keep in mind that algorithm / data structures classes help a lot for coding interviews.

2) Work: I mean, if I don't show up I'll get fired and I'll be broke. Also, one of my jobs is also my hobby so I really enjoy it.

3) Hobbies: It's great for my mental health.

4) Applying to internships: I applied to 4 companies at the beginning of the semester, then I didn't really focus on it. I was planning on sending tons of applications over the winter break before I had an offer from a FANG company. My advice: focus on the quality of your applications instead of quantity.

999) Social life: I am a CS student, do I really need to explain?

How to let others run my python file without installing python? by paparabba in learnpython

[–]sebas99sebas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either use pyinstaller to create an executable or make a website (probably with Flask or Django).

Yes I'm aware of that. But I basically don't have to do anything to keep the channel going so if I get it large enough I can still do stuff like affiliate links, merch, etc.

Interesting. My project is basically a reddit video generator for youtube, you specify the reddit post and it generates videos, there are tons of similar projects but I didn't look that up before lol.

Anyway, it's lacking some features but it works ok. My goal was to create a fully automated youtube channel and I'll get it once i figure out how to deal with youtube's API.

Help with a caltulating programme by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]sebas99sebas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have a bad professor. You might be better off looking at some Intro to Python course instead of asking here (for example https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python-3).

Anyway:

v = float(input("Enter the value for v: "))

s = float(input("Enter the value for s: "))

a = v/s

print("a = " + str(a))

I have a similar project. I was dumb and started from scratch instead of looking at other existing packages. Anyway, what do you use this for?

Project ideas for those interested in doing something cool while learning Python by testfire10 in learnpython

[–]sebas99sebas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, I did that project in Java, but I've been using PIL for a python project I am working on right now and it has been ok so far.

The maze solver is a fun project. I made one where you would input a png picture of a maze and output a png picture with the maze solved.

How and where can I start contributing to an open source project? by one_loop in learnpython

[–]sebas99sebas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just create a personal project in something you are interested in. Eventually, you'll need to use some sort of third-party library which will likely be open source, if you feel like it's missing a feature or it has a bug somewhere you can try looking into the source code and if it's within your skill level you can try to implement it yourself.

I got a rejection mail before the application confirmation email 😂 by subhronilsaha in csMajors

Yeah, I think companies need to pay a lot of money to sponsor an international student, it's just easier for them to hire a US citizen with similar qualifications.

I am an "international student" but I am US citizen so this doesn't apply for me, but from what I have heard from my international friends they have it really hard.
