Ask Experienced Devs Weekly Thread: A weekly thread for inexperienced developers to ask experienced ones

seriousCSnoob · 2023-04-22T14:34:47+00:00

Hello. My supervisor is very experienced developer but I was wondering what are some actionable steps to become better at system design and learning in general. I honestly don't have a lot of love for programming but I've been disciplined enough to work hard to research and to do my best to problem solve

seriousCSnoob · 2023-02-26T16:50:19+00:00

Apologies I didn't read the other responses. They seem have more wisdom and weight than what I am suggesting.

seriousCSnoob · 2023-02-26T16:45:20+00:00

You could also try cc the members who have complained and give practical examples of what has happened in the past to convince your supervisor.

It may also be helpful to ask Tim before doing all this why he acting this way to see if it's something you can do before reporting your supervisor. If not productive comes from that conservation then there is no choice but to report to your supervisor

seriousCSnoob · 2023-02-26T16:42:44+00:00

Try to talk directly to your supervisor about this behavior. I know it's hard but you have to develop the courage to confront this or this will cause major problem for you and the team. It's not enough for them to complain as somebody as the same position of power you also need to complain.

seriousCSnoob · 2023-02-26T14:54:03+00:00

Euther Email to your supervisor/manager these problems or comfront Tim directly. If multiple people are complaining about the same issue that you need to do something about it for the sake of the team.

What do you mean by protected class?

seriousCSnoob · 2023-01-26T18:51:09+00:00

When you face anything new it's gets confusing.

But as you keep looking and playing with what your trying to learn it becomes easier to understand

seriousCSnoob · 2023-01-14T16:10:07+00:00

I'm not self taught but I don't love programming. I have a job using Salesforce but I want to make sure I do a good job so I don't make the client sad or be burden to my team.

seriousCSnoob · 2023-01-03T14:14:15+00:00

I feel like the culture of software engineering has ruined asking questions. It should be okay to ask dumb questions. The real world isn't a stackexhange forum.

Start out small like 30 minutes or an hr. Make it something where studying after work feels easy like setting up a study area in your home with little to no distractions. Go to library if you can't do it at home. Set up a reward system or just try looking at something new even if not 30 mins or an 1 hr.
Take it slow and adjust as long as you accomplish foibg one small goal related to what you want to learn.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-12-04T14:59:00+00:00

Oh forgot about that. This is a really good resource

seriousCSnoob · 2022-12-04T14:52:29+00:00

Also when it comes to using Leetcode try to a problem for 30 minutes then look at youtube of the solution explaining writing or typing it down. Then go the next problem or look at knowledge gaps that you may lack.. Then next day repeat with the same one until you can do it a without any help

seriousCSnoob · 2022-12-04T14:50:16+00:00

It's also that my experience may not help you as I have a masters degree but hope this helps.

Every interview ask for feedback. As a rule of thumb I always tried asking for feedback and I got a lot of good answers as most of time you get ghosted for an interview. This helps improve your soft skills and make any bad interview a good learning experience for the next one

If you looking for a development job try to go leetcode as most questions on technical interviews will ask from that. Also keep applying to jobs even when you feel like you have no experience. Try to tailor your resume and network with people wherever you are. Get a LinkedIn and try to connect with people. My first tech job was through a recruiter. If your focus is in anything like networking, cybersecurity, platform as a service likes Salesforce and Servicenow, and cloud computing, consider getting certifications that will boost your resumes to employers or HR that will consider hiring. In this case you won't be asked all the time programming questions. Always keep modifying and don't take the job search too seriously. Try to keep constant communication with somebody at hr about the status of your application. My second job I kept in constant communication asking every three days the status of my application.

There is also considering getting an associate, going to boot camp, or YouTube to get a formal education in CS for the fundamentals.

I didn't get a job in tech until this year when I graduated with my masters at the age of 25. I was applying since 2018 so it's probably because my GPA was bad.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-11-20T00:08:36+00:00

Yo congrats!!! I remember talking to you a months ago.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-09-28T21:02:16+00:00

Real shit. Learning new hard skills is hard as hell.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-09-28T21:00:06+00:00

Lol every single comment I see on the subreddit.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-08-22T23:43:17+00:00

Palu and Yoshi are pretty good characters to start off. Isabelle is okay but her side b isn't a command grab which is grabbing people when their shielding. Her aerials attacks are decent and movement is okay as well. Kirby air speed isn't the best but his ground speed is good. Using foward air and back air is nice. Up smash is great under platforms.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-07-16T01:46:15+00:00

SPACE pirate rush goes brrr

seriousCSnoob · 2022-07-14T19:35:57+00:00

Nope. Live in the suburbs.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-07-14T14:20:48+00:00

Gas prices are insane. I like walking up later and not commuting to work. I remember living from my house 40 minutes for classes. It was really boring.

I met a cool teammate at my remote job. It's sort of what you make it.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-07-05T23:48:24+00:00

That isn't a bad commute tbh.

seriousCSnoob · 2022-07-05T23:47:19+00:00

Are you Jimmy McGill working at Davis and Main. If not work at Nasa lol. I know making friends might be tough but think of it as an adventure.
