also codingbootcamps literally pay you to go there and then they take a portion of your salary after they connect you with a sweatshop
I pointed a dude in the direction of bootcamps and he came back at me with a Buncha articles n shit about how theyre trying to shake people down for money or something. If you live near one id say its still worth
Jus learn c
first mistake: you shouldn't be looking to get employed
You don't know programming if u don't know c
printf ("%d\n", (INT_MAX+1) < 0);
what's this evaluate to
lol for someone who has an odd aversion to standing up for other people or other people standing up for them, this is fairly amusing
yea self starter could look nice. so for like some kind of roadmap for myself what should i do? learn python and just do some projects?
Wrong!

yeh, the best way to learn to program is to have a project you're interested in and figure out what you need to do to solve it, and learning from there
I took my 50/50 shot
It was either true or false I just got unlucky
took 40 minutes to clone gecko dev; git is trash.
(didn't look for a parameter to only fetch history from... (???))
Its probably got an extensive commit history and your dumbass didnt do a shallow clone
Do you know what you want to work in for cs? I wanted to go into ml and data science and I'm not the type of person to pace myself hard if I don't have to so I went into the masters program.
Gatech omscs program is great, ultra cheap like 5k TOTAL and you learn a lot. They do specializations for all different areas as well, such as ml, network security, software development, etc.
I would do a real program if you're trying to transition and aren't sure where to start or what to do. The guidance you get from being in a real program removes so much decision making and stress out of your life from having to research alternative routes and figure out what is right for you vs following a program that has a clear career path defined. I know everyone says you can learn it online for free but you're not paying for the materials you are paying for the guidance, teaching resources, network and structure.
Alternatively I think the coirsera micro degrees are another good option, they are equally as cheap and I know a lot of companies in the bay area will interview ppl who have just that for positions.
BTW I'm gonna say right now you might want to learn everything in python but you will need to learn other languages it is inevitable so just embrace it, fighting it will only make your life harder
I would prefer to spend my free time chilling out so I seldom ever work my ass off or grind for a project that interests me. Interest is not enough to get me to join a kaggle competition and learn new stacks because that shit is hard.
If you are like me and only like to push yourself when you feel like you are committed or have a responsibility to then enroll yourself into school and stop concerning yourself with what is the most 'optimized route' or you'll possibly end up like me wasting years dilly dallying about hardly getting anything done
Not a bad post
