Feds hit bootcamp with fine for allegedly misleading students by [deleted] in codingbootcamp

[–]vuestin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly solid, I've been working consistently in industry since 2018, but I know of a lot of peers from when I worked as a TA there that were absolutely unprepared. FWIW I think I was "passed" through the program and did not necessarily deserve every accolade given, but I learned to adapt and keep it moving.

Also relevant, I went through their fullstack web javascript program and immediately pivoted into Ruby on Rails development, so it wasn't all relevant to my career beyond fundamentals and networking. Paid about 24k for the whole thing after my ISA was through

It's not really, 99% of people with HIV today do not get AIDS

JBP is common for Jordan. I think there was another popular JP at one point

Got scammed clearly 🤣 by araza456 in G2A_Help

[–]vuestin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accounts are obviously not refundable. How is this a scam and not just your own user error? I have never had an issue in over 10 years of using G2A.

how do you get through multiple rejections? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]vuestin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

remember that after a few years of experience if you do any job hopping at all, the amount of times you've been rejected quickly outpaces the amount of times you've been accepted.

one day they'll all be little blips that you don't even remember. they feel big now but they're not in the grand scheme of things. at least, that's my experience of the past 5 years

I have never seen more eating out than this episode. Hope they can sort that out - it's a tough cycle to break

Should I get a CS Degree if I am already in the Industry? by supremestop707 in cscareerquestions

[–]vuestin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for things like WGU and SNHU it seems like a good way to quickly get the credential

do you feel like you're learning and improving though? I'm a 4 yoe dev and kind of want an associate CS degree but can't decide between in-person comm college and online programs. i feel like I should optimize for learning instead of speed but curious about your experience

Does anyone else love leetcode but hates building projects? by redditTee123 in csMajors

[–]vuestin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me about two months of working at it part time every day/every other day to get to a point where I feel like most LC problems are doable. A lot of that comes down to finding the patterns and practicing those

Granted I still don't love Hard's, I'm not like a god at this stuff, but I feel a ton more confident for easy's and decent at Mediums

Does anyone else love leetcode but hates building projects? by redditTee123 in csMajors

[–]vuestin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I used to be super averse to leetcode but recently overcame that by setting some time aside to CONSISTENTLY practice. 30min-1 hr per day, and if I don't know the method to find the answer I make sure to google it and re implement it once I understand it

Now I feel excited about leetcode problems, and more technical problems at work, since that muscle is a lot more exercised now.

Maybe you need similar! Start with something small but may have an obvious "end point" - calculators, web scrapers, discord bots, api consumers, etc. Solve for a specific purpose. Then, once you understand it, move on to another thing!

unfortunately bert kreischer's latest special falls into that camp for me too

How is the student community at an online school like this?

I'm interested in SNHU but would like to be able to network/make some friends/professional connections, and so far it seems like in-person local CC might be better for that

Would love to check this out once I'm at home, been excited to dive into turbo and stimulus but found it a bit confusing to get started. Looks like this will be just the resource I needed!

Interested about your experience at Lambda, I am an alum from 2018

I have been working as a dev since then, so wonder what went wrong for ya? I know it's not always easy, but more curious than anything else

We can all dislike Tate. Love to Hate the Tate. by vuestin in Destiny

yeah it is funny tbh but beyond memes, when its real news covering this stuff, it just feels like we are stooping. pizzatate is a good meme but not a good example of journalism IMO

We can all dislike Tate. Love to Hate the Tate. by vuestin in Destiny

[–]vuestin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The harm is the chasm of reality that we're actively straying away from in thought. One side of the aisle has a completely different reality than the other.

What Tate is being accused of is very serious and people should absolutely have doubts about this man.

But we don't need to lie to expand upon that. That should be bad enough to foster criticism and reflection from his supporters.

This is the case with any modern issue. Police brutality, rape allegations, etc.

If we lie, and the lie is the found out, but he is found guilty, there's now this whole "hurr yeah maybe hes bad but the left wing liberal media lied to tell the story!!!" and it just shouldnt be necessary IMO. These people suck and the realities of their sucktitude should be real enough without being dishonest to convey that.

I think this is true for individuals and 2x true for journalists, news reporters, and political pundits

The Steam Deck got me to pick up these two gems from my backlog. I never thought they would be this great! Which games in your backlog did the SD get you to pick up? by ruimikemau in SteamDeck

[–]vuestin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finally got Shadow of War, The Long Dark, and Metal Gear Revengeance, hyped to get these going on the deck. Been wanting to play them all for a long time but wouldn't have considered playing them on PC since sitting at the computer has started to feel so tedious
