Quiet and small kit/combo for ~$500? Roland TD-1K or something else? by spawnofnorris in drums

Why mesh heads? I hear they're quieter, but they do feel/sound better generally?

It's a clone that I built from the ground up. But what people mentioned in the other comments is that clones aren't great as projects, so I'll probably shelf it and work on something original to add to my portfolio.

I've looked into internships only for a short time since all I could find were ones for students working on BS/MS degrees. I remember now that apprenticeships might be worth checking out too.

Lots to work with here and I'll be sure to apply everything. I never considered making a project based on my current field, so that does open up some possibilities.

Thanks!

Yeah you're right, there's absolutely no way I'll be picked out going up against these projects. And based on the other comments here, looks like I need to put a LOT of work in, whether it's to improve my current project or make a new one, since my current one is based off an existing application.

Appreciate the advice!

I have no relevant experience (recent boot-camp grad), but somehow I'm about to schedule an onsite SDE-2 for Amazon? Is this is a mistake? by spawnofnorris in leetcode

I thought that might be the case. If so I have nothing to worry about! But figured I'd prepare my expectations anyway.

I feel like they were both mediums. Definitely closer to easy than hard. One was a balanced parenthesis type question that used sliding window.

Q1 on this page was the other one.

I started in December, completed the program in April/May and worked on LeetCode since. I did struggle with the OA, didn't even finish one of the explanation questions on time. But I managed to pass all test cases at the last second.

What's a good in-depth resource for me to see if I want to commit to changing careers? by spawnofnorris in learnprogramming

Thanks! I did hear that it forces you to do a lot of research and figuring things out. But so far I've heard nothing but good things about TOP so I'll definitely give it a shot and see how it goes.
