Round 2 Fight!

Round 2 Fight!

Big thanks to u/thegoldisjustbanana for suggesting two different resumes. I think the individual resumes read much more clearly than trying to make compromises and patchwork the qualifications together.

I have two resumes that are similar but different. The first resume is my system programming resume for c/c++. The second resume is my web dev resume.

I appreciate any and all feedback, whether positive or negative. Thank you so much for your time!

It feels a little bit strange to put work experience at the bottom for the system programming resume. However, I understand the rationale.

For context, I really want to signal to employers that I would like to be in the c/c++ space.

Just finished my new resume!

it'sAttached to this post, I hope, is my anonymized resume. I'm genuinely grateful for this community and will try to listen to all of your feedback to improve.

I think the questionable part would be the number of hyperlinks in the PROJECT section of the resume. Also, the C_BUILD project looks weak, but I actually use it like every single time I do a c/c++ project, so its and incredible useful tool for me. I don't know how to really convey that... If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Just finished my new soon to be new grad software engineer resume!

I think my main issue right now is specificity. I'm not sure how I can signal to employers that I would like to work in lower-level languages like C/C++. I only have professional experience in web dev, but it is my genuine belief that web dev will be partially or completely eaten by AI in the near future.

I'm pretty AI doomer; I personally hate it. I genuinely love programming and spent several thousand hours trying to be great at my craft, and when all is said and done, I'm not sure if it will matter much to future employers. However, even if it doesn't matter to employers, I can confidently say it matters to me, and I'm better off for it.

Its just so hard

I’m 21 years old; I live in Michigan. I go to MTU, and I graduate in December. I learn by making every mistake there is to make, building strong fundamentals in the process, and trying to reject the path of least resistance. I have built quite a few projects I think are cool and impressive relative to my age. I started programming when I was 13, just doing basic Scratch and Python stuff; I would say I got serious about programming when I was about 16. After about 8 years and 6k+ hours of programming, I can’t help but be depressed. I dedicated a good chunk of my life to something I had little talent for, and only now, after I finally feel I have earned the right to call myself a software engineer, the world twists itself into a pretzel, bending backwards to accommodate R&D into AI, spending trillions of dollars.

My passion projects range from toy graphics engines, interpreters & compilers, C/C++ build systems to replace CMake, metaprogramming tools, and libraries that I actually use, all from scratch with the commit history to prove it. I genuinely did my best and worked as hard as any reasonable person could. I want more than anything else to be great at my craft.

Any advice you have would genuinely mean the world to me. I have never been depressed before; I always felt like there was a path forward.

"Why is it so hard to live?" is the question I keep asking myself.
The thing is I don't even have it that bad. The worst thing so far is I lost my health insurance; big whoop; that's literally peanuts compared to someone who is days from being evicted from their home, and they just want to work and contribute to society like any other person. Is just so heartbreaking, man.

Toy compiler so happy!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my attempt at making a small C-ish toy compiler written in Go. This project was purely for educational purposes, since I'm incredibly passionate about computer science, especially graphics programming and compilers.

I know I'm not some genius, and a lot of the implementation is probably very naive in many ways, but I'm still really proud of the results. I originally started with an interpreter and slowly evolved it into a compiler.

Right now, it only supports the int type, but interestingly, my type system already supports much more than that conceptually (I THINK!). The remaining work is mostly getting the backend/assembly generation. For example using SSE registers for floating point stuff.

At the moment I don't have a ton of motivation to continue immediately, but I definitely want to return to it in the near future and expand it further.

One book that has helped me a lot is Writing a C Compiler by Nora Sandler. Highly recommend it if you're interested in this stuff.

I’ll also admit I was in a bit of a programming rut recently. For me, sometimes it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when learning complex topics, but I know it’s there somewhere. I’m graduating this December, so I’m trying to take advantage of the remaining time I have to learn things purely for fun before life gets busier.

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, criticism, or resources from this wonderful community.
