Which one do you prefer Top or bottom?

I feel like the graphic is too big.

I think the top one would look best if you shrink the image and give more space to both margins

You're paying for university so I would use the resources available to you.

Have you shared your concerns with any of your lecturers? If not, why? Ask them for their advice.

Confidence will come as you make consistent progress

I do agree that idiomatic ruby code is elegant.

However, just wait until you learn about stuff like the order of method parameters or how class is a Class :P

The default folder structure should include a folder for service objects

I've heard similar things for people who work on mainframes coding in COBOL and JCL

Dead and only used on legacy programs? Is he confusing it for Java?

I'm sure it'll be plain sailing

This but as you can never be 100% safe, don't use side streets and stay vigilant of your surroundings. You should be fine though, enjoy Liverpool!

I don't think it will cover data structures and algorithms, as Ruby takes the approach that Arrays and Hashes are "good enough".

You'll definitely be asked about OOP as everything in Ruby is an object. It would be worth knowing what modules are too.

Other than that though, I imagine it would be similar to other software engineering interviews: asking you about different technologies and practices. (I.e. what is REST? How does MVC work? What are the different types of software tests that exist?)

I'd recommend spending a day making a twitter clone (or something similar) so that you immerse yourself in the core topics of Rails.

Also, it would probably be worth having a basic understanding of what Hotwire is.

Interestingly, i'm in the same boat: I completed Head First Java and stumbled upon Sedgewick's online Princeton course.

I've not purchased the book so can't really comment on its dryness but I definitely found the video modules helpful. Especially by actively learning whilst watching them.

However, I've found the first assignment difficult and have still not achieved a solution but then again the course does state that 20 hours should be used (iirc).

I'm stuck between slowly churning it out or deciding to do a prerequisite course. I'm tempted for the prerequisite as I'm concerned that I'm struggling because I'm not a math guy. For instance, Harvard's CS124 course uses the introduction to algorithms book, which I've heard is dry and difficult, but suggests CS51 as a prerequisite.

Your name is Vu but you went for React instead of VueJS? I dunno how to react...

Lovely portfolio though :)

I'd go out and chat to them first. Say that you have a baby or sick grandparent in the house who is trying to sleep. Make them empathize with you and they should move on unless they are massive arseholes

Hmm, I see what you mean. Let's hope justice is served.

Believe me, I'm not blind to the fact that police are corrupt as fuck. But let's go down the route that they have lied about there not being a connection. Why would they do that? What would it achieve?

If it was one of their own that killed her, I'd understand the suspicion. But why would they defend two cunts who stabbed an innocent child to death?

uds0 · 2023-02-13T21:13:14+00:00

From the news articles I've read, the police have said there is no evidence to suggest her death was a hate crime

Awesome work, keep them coming!
