I'm searching for a good, clean template that will can be read easily by an ATS. What software are you using to create them?

I used to use Creddle for the longest time but they no longer exist.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a software developer job and I don’t have a CS degree. Instead, I have math and physics bachelors and masters degrees and I’ve recently been taking CS undergraduate classes online (8 in total, including the essentials such as data structures, algorithms, and operating systems). If I stop there and focus on personal projects, would I put myself in a bad position? Do I need to have that CS credential on my resume? If so, I was thinking of stopping the undergraduate classes and applying for an online CS Masters program at Georgia Tech or UT Austin. That way, the money and time can be used towards getting a MS degree instead of a Bachelor’s degree in which I would need a bunch of non-CS classes such as writing, foreign language, etc.

Just wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks!

Let‘s say you had a nice, sexy T14S Gen 2 or 3 AMD with 16GB of soldered RAM. Would you give it up for an HP Elitebook 845 G8 with 32GB of non-solderes RAM (2 slots)? Is your love for ThinkPad that strong?

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I'm curious if this machine has good cooling and if you hear the fan often? I've had a T14S Gen 2 (AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U) and I hardly heard the fan run when doing regular non-intensive tasks. Some other laptops I've had would start their fan even when idle. I'm thinking of getting an 845 G8 with the Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U. Thanks!

Sorry for the long title. I have a Bachelor’s in math and physics, a master‘s in physics, and another master’s in applied math. I am currently a part-time online CS undergrad at University of Florida and I have completed many of the core CS course requirement, but none of the non-CS/non-math course requirements (eg, government, foreign language, writing, etc). And I do need to do a few more CS classes.

If I had a bunch of projects under my belt, would recruiters or hiring managers still ignore my application/resume because my degrees are not in CS?

Should I finish the undergrad degree in CS or leave the program and spend the money on online CS Master’s classes from a program like Georgia Tech or UT Austin? Those classes are actually cheaper than the UF undergraduate classes.

I am not currently working. Should i just keep plugging away at SWE internships/jobs and do projects and hope someone doesn’t mind that my degrees are not in CS?

Hello. I'm interested in pursuing a software development career, but I am a non-traditional student. I'm 45 and I have a Bachelor's in math and physics, a masters in physics from UT, and a masters in applied mathematics from UTSA. I've done a data science internship about 9 years ago, had jobs in data analysis, but I'd like to switch to software dev. I've been an online CS student at the University of Florida and I've completed 8 undergrad CS classes including core classes such as Operating Systems, Data Structures, Algorithms, Computer Architecture, Discrete, and Computer Networking Fundamentals. I've received A's in all classes.  My GPA in my physics master's program is 3.7 and my GPA in the applied math master's is 4.0.  I took a break from UF for the past year and I'm considering re-applying to take more undergrad classes such as Programming Language Concepts, and Databases. However, since I already have a Bachelor's degree and I would still need to take several non-CS classes to finish the CS Bachelor's at UF, and since each class costs more than classes at this OMSCS, I figure it's better to put that money and time towards a CS Master's degree instead.  

Another thing about me is that I was laid off my data analysis job three years ago and haven't been working since.  During that time, I looked after my child who is now almost 4.  He's about to start preschool soon, thus freeing up my daytime.  I'd like to use that time to look for a job (any job, not necessarily software dev) but I also feel like I need to work on my software dev skills/projects/education.  And so I thought maybe I can work on this online master's.  Perhaps take 1 class in the fall, spring, and summer, so that I can be done in 3 years.  Or take two classes in the fall and spring, and one in the summer and be done in 2 years.  Or take 1 class in the fall and spring and be done in 5.  However, time is not on my side since I'm already 45 years-old. 

So I don't really know how to proceed and what path I should put myself on.  I've never had a software dev job or internship, though I've had other jobs.  And I don't know if completing this program (Or the one from UT) while not working would be a good idea.  Of course, if I complete the program while not working I can get done quicker.

I'm sure it will be a uphill climb for me, especially considering I'm relatively old.  Just wondering what your thoughts are. What I'm ultimately wondering is if doing this MS program would be a good idea even if I have never had a software dev internship or job, and let's say worst case scenario I'm not working while I complete this degree. I'm curious about your opinions on how the market will treat a person like me, and at my age (~48-50 when I finish). Thanks! I'd greatly appreciate it.  If you've read all this, thanks very much!

Do Elitebooks provide a way to do this? Or do I need to keep a separate Windows partition for doing this? I’m specifically asking about Ubuntu on Elitebook 835 G8. Thanks!

My Latitude 7320 sounds like a jet engine in Windows 11 with Edge and Chrome open. I was just watching a single youtube video. Anyway, does anyone have experience running Linux on Latitudes like these? If so, does the fan turn on less often?

I’m trying to choose between those three. The T14S Gen 2 Intel has the i7-1185G7 with 16GB and the T14S Gen 2 and 3 AMD has the Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U and 6650U respectively both with 16GB.

I‘m also thinking about the Dell Latitude 7420 with i7-1185G7 and 32GB.

My particular use case does not involve anything graphics heavy. Just browsing with multiple tabs, Office work, programming in an IDE like VS Code, maybe use WSL2, and learning the basics of Docker with just one light container, as well as a little Slack and the occasional Zoom call.

I also want to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu.

Do I really need 32GB?

I bought a Latitude 7320 back in December 2024 on eBay with 32GB RAM and the trackpad was loose/rattling every time I tapped on it. It annoyed me so I returned it. Now I’ve purchased two also with 32GB in the past week and they both have rattling trackpads. Is this normal? What might be the best way to fix this?

I am currently considering either of these used on Ebay: A Latitude 7320 with these specs and $220 total:

i7-1185G7, 32GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe Gen3x4 SSD, 13" 16:9

And the 7350 with these specs, for $495 total:

intel 7 165U, 32GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, 13" 16:10

I don't game or do other graphics heavy processes. My usecase involves many browser tabs, programming using an IDE (like VS Code), Teams/Slack, the occasional Zoom call, and maybe a VM using Virtualbox or WSL2. I also plan to dual boot Windows 11 and Ubuntu.

Aside from NOTICEABLE improvements in performance, I care about heat/fan noise, keyboard, trackpad. Thanks!

I have a 2015 11” MacBook Air with an SSD having OCLP (Sequoia). Can I move the SSD as it is into a 2015 13” MacBook Air and not have to reinstall anything and everything will work?

Any other differences between these two? Thermal aspects such as heat and fan noise or how often the fan turns on, battery life, etc? Is the keyboard of the 7420 noticeably bigger causing you to prefer one keyboard over the other? Are the keys bigger? Is the trackpad bigger? Thanks.

Wouldn't it be funny if Claire turned into an old woman after saving Jamie, and then Jamie loses interest in her and starts cheating on her with a young hottie?

So much obnoxious, loud, annoying evangelical crap at the southwest corner of Keele and Wilson. Since when has this been going on? I'm visiting my family. Lived in the area for much of my life. Are there laws that say they can’t be past a certain volume after a certain time?

I'm interested in buying this machine for $275. Is that too much? It comes with the 400 nits, low power comfortview display and 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD, with Excellent battery health, according to the BIOS. It is a used machine but it looks like it's in good condition. Thanks.
