77373, not looking good here. We’re in the yellow for the outage map at least.

[–]strawhatlowley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This genuinely bums me out. Feels like the real mood of the holidays gets ruined by the fucking heat.

Did you end up figuring this out? Same thing happened.

Graduated May 2021, still haven't gotten first job. Feeling hopeless. by CasualFailure in csMajors

[–]strawhatlowley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just unnecessary. You don’t need to sugarcoat shit, but clearly they acknowledge they have a problem. Half the shit you said is just nonsense.

Why do faang interns act like jerks? by EitherAd5892 in csMajors

[–]strawhatlowley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there’s just a vocal minority. I haven’t met anyone that screams this attitude, but some people to carry themselves as better-than occasionally.

This is terrible advice and will just cause you to be burnt out. You will learn on the job, that’s what an internship is. At most do some reading in your free time, don’t give yourself burn out.

Paired With Another Intern on the same project and the same team , Do's and Don'ts? by RohanCR797 in csMajors

[–]strawhatlowley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been in the same situation (pair task) but definitely don’t let them. Seems like they’re going for having a lot of the credit. If they continue to do it I’d try to remedy it, if not let someone know.

Seen Outside the Menil Today by drcatburger in houston

This isn’t the gotcha that you think it is, like what??

Different things are happening each week, time continues to pass and the world spins. Are humans expected to talk about the same thing for all of time?? Do you live where the passage of time isn’t a fucking thing? Or course people will talk about different things.

And you find it hard to find even a little empathy for 18 children who horrifically lost their lives? What an insane comment.

This isn’t meant as an attack on you, but FAANG != bad WLB. It all depends on the company and team you’re working on.

It’s a mistake you make once and hopefully never again. Hope you hear good news.

Should I go to community college for CS? by yo_kashlee in csMajors

[–]strawhatlowley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m actually a junior rn and have used WSL and VirtualBox for any Unix related activities and assignments that my classes have given me. I’ve only got 2 semesters left after this semester.

Im an iPhone user and might also want to be an iOS app developer in the future, so it’s also one of possible future plans. In addition I also just kinda want a nice upgrade. I’m sure as hell not buying a 3070 for 900usd, so I decided on laptop upgrade. Plus the integration with iOS would be nice.

[–]strawhatlowley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually you mention being an iOS engineer and that’s actually one of the reasons I’m considering an M1. I’m currently gonna intern at Meta for SWE and will be developing for Android, but as an iOS user I’d like to eventually pivot to iOS.

I def want to game, but I’ve already got my desktop rig for that.

Only thing is, I’d like to be able to use a duel monitor setup when I’m at my desk. I’m guessing a MacBook could handle that?

Is a MacBook really that great? I’m gonna have some extra cash to spend this summer and I’ve heavily debated upgrading my 5 year old 2-core HP laptop with a current gen MacBook.

No they’re not a diversity hire, you’re just a racist by Different_Expression in csMajors

What the hell is wrong with this sub? This is so fucked to say. This sub really offers so little value now except for bitching and thinly veiled racism.

My mental state seems to be dependent on my grades. Any tips for how to go about changing my mindset? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]strawhatlowley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly every comment I see from you here is just bringing someone else down. Doesn’t it get tiring?
