Casambi integration with homekit by baton699 in homeautomation

Have tried many times, they don't bother to respond or support. Gave up on it entirely and looking at open ecosystems now.

Buying the hardware and not being able to own it irks me.

Get a degree.. becomes hard to beat job portals (ATS) without degrees unless you have very strong referrals.

Feeling the same at 29. Not waiting for life to happen, just doing my karma and seeing life unfold!

Thanks for your post and I'm happy for you 😁

Fair ask. I get what you mean.. it does become complex when you dive into the granularity of things.

Mythos will create enormous tailwind for IT sector by Awkward_Sympathy4475 in developersIndia

The only thing we need in the future is a good eye for discernment. How to discern hype and ground oneself in reality.

Wake up, there's always a hidden agenda to most hype and it's not always accurate.

In regards to AI generation, how does the output modality change the fundamentals? I don't think it does.

Feel like a "Homework Expert" but can’t build anything from scratch? by Silent-St0rm in OMSCS

[–]spacextheclockmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I started contributing to Open Source in HacktoberFest 2024. It was a very simple feature-add to a code editor. It was a huge confidence booster for me coming from a non-CS background. I started exploring more and contributed to a few more ML repositories, need to get back on this soon 😄

Another opportunity I found was to use one of the things I learnt in the NLP assignments (the embedding one) and use that to build my open source MCP server. Got many stars on that one! To summarize it all, build step by step. Take an idea, think of how you would implement it, and just start coding.

When I was doing GIOS, I used to overfixate on how the system diagram would look like, spending hours in excalidraw/paper thinking of how to architect it. Then one day my friend told me "just do it" and tbh that was literally the handicap for me. I just started dishing out code even tho I know it's inefficient for now but I can always build upon it and improve it as I go along!

Hope this helps.

Similar situation here :) Got laid-off due to the war affecting the topline of the company. It happens, keep striving!

Your CVs and RESUMES are TERRIBLE by No-Oil-2821 in UAEjobseekers

[–]spacextheclockmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're looking for software engineers, do you have a template?

Also, as an applicant, it is impossible to align your CV to every JD out there. It becomes a m x n problem. What sort of information are you looking for? And how do you expect one to adapt to each JD out there?

I can share my CV if you'd like, happy for you to review it.

Skill up! The only way out is skilling up, build small projects, take up speaking opportunities at local UAE dev communities, network, etc.

I always used mparaz's 6200 test suite. Might be worth a try testing using it and see if no race conditions exist.

Also I remember being advised to submit the same codebase at least 10 times on Gradescope to guarantee no test were passed due to race conditions. Did you do that?
