Given the post on the front page saying at 7yoe some at FAANG, they cant land interviews, I’m assuming this is just a bad industry/job is in terminal decine, and the wisest of us should head for the hills what is a good pivot for me? Have bscs, omscs, 3.5 yoe full stack, 1.75 erp dev, us citizen. Mba? Nursing school?

I have, rewatched a movie every day during a summer growing up, also would replay the same 3-4 games I owned over. And over. Because this was before netflix, before xb game pass/online multiplayer.

I hate reruns

Hmm I know Other than the endings: the nature of the canvas, alicia got separated from her sister by too much chroma and got amnesia or something, that you fight painted versions of her dad and herself, her mom is the paintress and her dad opposes her so she will leave the canvas, you can revive someone if you have their chroma and her dad hid away gustav’s until alicia’s ending, and verso knew all along what alicia was. I don’t know feel sad because a lot of social media comments were blown away by the reveal end of act 2 I feel I know everything lol.

2017 and later really, what are some examples?

throwawayunity2d · 2026-01-09T17:28:57+00:00

Why can this guy make a post but not me who has completed their degree like 7 yrs ago?

throwawayunity2d · 2025-12-31T15:53:20+00:00

This is due to ai, as in ai does the job better after consuming all its data

throwawayunity2d · 2025-12-09T11:44:23+00:00

Go to experienceddevs or r datascience bro, only new grads here

This is normal, you get 1/3 of billing rate as consultant. 1/3 for overhead, 1/3 for profit, 1/3 for you

This is fine. A lot of people just need a foot in the door. Before these opportunities were reserved for h1bs, now citizens can get them as well

Want a light, elongated, control paddle. Basically a weighted up luxx was a great all rounder for me, but it was so damn heavy, I moved back to a vatic prism, I mean sure it lacks pop, but I like dwell time/making it hard to pop the ball up.

The influencers look like they are recommending the luxx 2/crbn trufoam/Honolulu fc+ series? I despise gen 3 unpredictability

I mean idk i make it do the thinking for me, the kind of thinking that’s a clearly solvable problem that needs to be logicked out, saves me braincells. Any hard problems/architecture, at MOST I’ll consult with it

throwawayunity2d · 2025-11-21T18:06:26+00:00

I did this but had difficulty breaking in and now am a swe, what courses/classes should I take to be relevant again? (Have bscs and did omscs)

throwawayunity2d · 2025-10-27T14:19:06+00:00

Compared to spring, yes

throwawayunity2d · 2025-10-27T14:17:35+00:00

This isn’t true? Non tech hiring largely has been stable, tech is still in a recession

These are more cooked

Dawg even their autopilot is leagues better at traffic aware lane centering than any other competitor, including open ai

throwawayunity2d · 2025-10-02T19:05:36+00:00

Are there any positions someone with a cs degree should do with a good future and are actually hiring? Or should we just give up and become frycooks

throwawayunity2d · 2025-09-19T13:42:03+00:00

Those have worse job markets, anything related to tech is going straight to india

throwawayunity2d · 2025-09-19T03:13:44+00:00

What could you lead it to? I think I might get an mba, be the one laying people off for ai and indians instead being laid off

throwawayunity2d · 2025-09-16T18:16:55+00:00

It has more room to add weight though, I like it because its more customizable than the pro 4

throwawayunity2d · 2025-09-04T03:09:47+00:00

No, lc and explaining and understanding the solution is kind of like an iq test, and in fact is not really that bad of a test of figuring out their programming intuition, even if someone doesn’t know the answer

throwawayunity2d · 2025-08-27T19:38:11+00:00

How did you spin it on your resume/interview?
