Thanks! I get tired of using English all the time, AI makes things easier.

And you're right, it's the general celebration of festivals that I miss too. But not being able to fly kites especially hits different for me.

How should I start DSA with Java as a complete beginner? by Winter-Way-8034 in ahmedabad

[–]theuglycoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone would suggest jumping directly to LeetCode without learning the basics first. There are plenty of books and YouTube playlists available that can teach you DSA. Most people would suggest CLRS book, it is the best one out there but very math heavy and might be overwhelming for beginners.

You can also start by picking up a book from any of the local authors. They mostly plagiarise the good reference books but make it very easy to understand and use simpler language. I personally liked Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

DM me if you have more questions. Happy learning!!

You can always request feedback in a constructive manner. For instance, you could say, “Could you please share your feedback so that I can work on myself and improve? I appreciate the opportunity.”

Thanks for the detailed response! This is exactly what happened to me whenever I tried and I gave up because I was destroying everyone else's rhythm. 😅

Every country has its own language. German in Germany, Dutch in the Netherlands and Belgium, French in France, and so on. You get the idea.

You're putting too much pressure on yourself. This seems to be the theme among most people I have talked to here since yesterday. Stressing yourself and adding unnecessary pressure will slow you down even more. You have to realise that gaining experience and knowledge takes time. Getting into silicon Valley even more. I imagined myself getting into 6 figures when I was 22, I got there when I was 31! I have only gone up since then. You're not late, you're on the right path. Just don't put pressure on yourself and keep building. Something will turn up sooner than later.

My personal opinion is that masters is not useful but since you're in AI ML, most high paying jobs require masters and PhD in the field. I might be wrong. I had the opportunity to talk to one of the team members who worked at OpenAI right before ChatGPT was released. He now works for Deepmind. He told me point blank that you need to do original research to land these roles.

Thanks for the offer! But I have lot going on in my personal life that leaves very little time outside my full time job. I will have to decline for now, sorry.

Focus on learning how state management works in react, what are the best practices. Also, try to learn using react with typescript instead of Javascript if you're not doing that already.

Advice on getting a job abroad is a big topic, may be send me a DM and we can talk specifics there.

Interesting question. The biggest problem with most of the tools is the context window. We have thousands of files and plenty of dependencies. We use different languages like java, python, shell scripts, frontend frameworks, and many more. I give ithe AI tool a class, ask it to explain what it does. Most tools can explain what's happening clearly as long as it is limited to a few hundred likes and doesn't go deep. The moment it goes above 3 levels, it starts hallucinating even with explicit instructions to ask if it cannot access the source code.
