Anyone tired?

I mean tired of this whole ‘coding is for anyone’, ‘everyone should learn how to code’ mantra?

I absolutely DESPISE the software dev culture

I enjoy being a regular SE. I love having a simple, unassuming, position where I just put in my 9 to 5 monday through friday fixing shit or adding simple brain-dead features, while listening to some Pandora.

Anyone ever take a job, find out it was a shit show, and then piss around for awhile before looking again?

I joined a company a few months ago as a remote dev. This is what has transpired since then:

Received first offer!!! New grad, no internships, sub 3.0 GPA

After ~50-200 applications, with ~15 cover letters, 4 interviews, I just received my first offer! The compensation is average for a junior software dev in Canada, but I'm relieved I get to make the next step after being in school forever.

Does everyone actually work for 8 hours day?

I cried at a meeting today due to feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Feel like I just lost any legitimacy and credibility to my coworkers

I’m a 29F and have been working for 5 years mostly on front-end. I joined this team which works full stack and though I’ve been on this team ~6 months, a lot of the concepts relating to the backend are foreign to me still such as database stuff and concurrency.

Has anyone discovered that they do not have imposter syndrome, and that they are a genuine imposter?

I'm curious to find out since I tend to only hear about people overcoming Imposter Syndrome, but never about those who were genuine imposters who left the field. What do these people move on to?

What are the most important courses in computer science?

Some of the most important courses in Computer Science are: Introduction to Programming: Computer science departments at institutions like Boston University, Virginia Tech, Caltech and others offer some form of courses that introduce students to programming methods and skills.

What do you do if you want to be a programmer?

If you mean you want to be a professional programmer, not necessarily a computer scientist, then take courses that are more problem solving oriented. That would be things like your numerical analysis and modeling classes. If you mean you want to be a computer scientist (. Continue Reading.
