So i just started learning web development, like the basics of html, css, and javascript. however, i thought it be better to just have AI help me figure out the components to what im trying to build, as I dive first into project building (I have coding experience in C#, Java, and C++, just hte basics though). the thing is though, im finding understanding API calls, and how javascript works to start to get a bit confusing. for context, im making a basic weather app that lets you type your location out in a <form> and then it retrieves data from the OpenWeatherMap API. the thing is though, some of the stuff claude shows me how to do, i kind of need elaboration on. Am i learning this the right way? or should I spend my time following something like TheOdinProject for more guided learning? (alhtough it would be slower in my opinion)

Im more interested in learning desktop app development, but I thought Id learn and focus on web development since I dont really know html, css, and js. I know basics of C#, Java, and C++. Im wondering if I should race through the odin project as fast as I can, and am also wondering how much it cooks me if I dont manage to secure an internship by sophomore summer (ik majority of apps close by december or smthn). Anybody have any thoughts or advice on this?

Current upcoming sophomore, starting to get serious about learning to code this summer (cuz i was stressed for the past two semesters and i didnt code a lot). much appreciated.

Thoughts?

I applied to 5 different stores all for store support. I recently saw a post that said these stores dont even get the applications themselves and just receive them through an algorithm. idk what that means for me, but someone said that you just have to apply as many as you can.

basically title. I can't seem to call local stores (its an automated bot) so I cant really follow up with the application. How long do job applications take, especially for package handlers?

Any github repos for project recommendations, how to do technical interview prep, etc?
How do I decide on picking a stack, or should I focus on building projects that interest me (a peer told me you have to align yourself to a certain industry)?

mb if this might get posted a lot

So I'm pretty sure that the Student Health Insurance Provider is called Aetna Health or wtv. I got some email from them like WEEKS ago, and they're asking for me to mail them information. Is this a necessary thing I have to do? Did anyone else do this? (idk if its a stupid question, its not like they're my main insurance provider)

basically title. Im a upcoming sophomore in uni and im looking for a summer job. this seems like it could be a good side hustle.

so I did terrible in my semester of discrete mathematics and i cheated through SOME of the problem sets, and still did terrible on the final. Since discrete math is basically the foundations of problem solving in computer science, should I relearn it? this is also a question of how valuable it is to know ( which is why I cheated ). It's the summer time so I have time/

ive been playing lillia for a bit, i played league three years ago and I liked her kit. I took a pause since then and now got back in, but to this day, I have yet to see a lillia jungle on the opposing team. why dont people play lillia for jungle?

Obviously, I know it's the prestige, but if your a person of similar quality but from a different school, and you get within range of these recruiters through cold DMs and referrals, then you could still land these roles right? And also, if thats the case, how does somebody become as cracked as, say, someone from Stanford, MIT, CMU, etc.? (incoming soph @ t50 btw)

im a beginner and im not sure whether or not I should google my way through learning godot or follow a tutorial to learn out the basics. what do you guys suggest?

I havent applied to summer jobs yet, but im a college student trying to get a summer job. is it too late to apply or do they not hire people who work only for 3 months?

title basically, I need advice cuz im a freshman and i want to grind a lot this summer.

Is it safe to say that, like most top tier schools, wealthy kids tend to be accepted into this college?

I've been learning Chinese for the past two semesters, but I haven't really studied hard at it and so my grammar and sentence forming is pretty broken. Honestly I think I'm just burnt out from learning it and from uni 😅. so I was wondering, with this upcoming summer, what can I do to catch up on my learning and practice speaking more effectively and listening. I'm not too worried about writing or reading (I think those are simple and just take practice).

So I want to branch out and try new things over the summer. I plan on doing a retail job, for the capital, and then maybe dabble with Arudinos or something. My question is, is it worth spending time on projects like these? or should I focus on software and software interests since I want to become a software engineer?

Is it because they're exposed to a bunch of people who have all sorts of ideas? How can someone gain access to those kinds of ideas and information (or do you just not)?

And if you're wondering what kind of billion-dollar startups I'm referring to, I'm talking about software startups like Mercor, Kalshi, Cursor, etc.

I want to do a master's at a t10. Ik it's very dependent on what kind of Masters I want to get into, I still haven't decided, although I am doing a CS degree @ a t50. I'd like to learn from the experience of any Stanford grad students who came from a lower tier school on how they got into Stanford for their masters in a stem-related field (like CS) or maybe like Physics, or Maths.
