Can a senior engineer mentoring a smart junior developer with strong fundamentals, and the goal is to get them to senior level coding and software engineering skills, including system design, distributed systems, and software architecture. Is 1 year enough to make them that good?

What's your take?

i'm not senior but my take would be 1 year no it won't

But 1 year to a strong mid dev, who can handle from small to big projects alone, then yes.

I know how to build simple CRUD APP in c#. Would "Introduct of the theory of computation" help people like me to become better coder?

Any consulting devs here? how those small consulting companies with fewer than 10 devs make money? I’ve heard that some of them earn almost €1 million in before tax profit.

I see companies with fewer than 10 developers advertising that they build AI and automation solutions to help other companies.

And after paying dev's salary and everything they earn 1m in profits.

Need explanations. I learn how to build simple CRUD app with C# and TS. I wanna really understand CS. So I tried to learn C but I get even more confused about many CS concepts.

I’m trying to learn C not just because I want to learn another programming language, but because I want to understand Computer Science and how computers actually work underneath the abstractions.

The problem is that I constantly fall into an endless chain of prerequisites/CS concepts

For example, I want to understand pointers:

int x = 10;
int *p = &x;

On the guide/website it says

>ointer is a variable that store memory address.

Okay, but then I ask:

  • What exactly is a memory address
    • address is where numbers telling where data is stored
  • What exactly is memory?
    • memory is where address live
  • Is memory the physical RAM?
    • etc... something with CPU
  • What exactly is RAM and CPU?
    • etc...
  • How does RAM actually work?
    • etcc..
  • What's the relationship between RAM, CPU, cache, virtual memory, thread, processing etc.?

And suddenly I'm 10 levels deep into computer architecture instead of learning pointers "*"😂

So what to do here, I wanna understand CS. I thought my experience with coding CRUD APP with C#, but no it doesn't help much

Let me put it this way

let's say if you ask a normal person what "water" is , a normal person replied "liquid"

but if you ask a scientist, it would be "1 Hydrogen and 2 Oxygen combined together to become H2O"

So I try to understand the Science in Computer Science, i hope you get the picture what i try to say

I'm from Denmark and cost of living is quite high. I spend 240 Euro on food. No take away/eat out. Just grocereis. How much do you spend if you do the same like me?

I'm a big man who eat alot and live in Denmark

Cost of living here is kinda high and I spend 240 Euro on food monthly without any take away at all!

What about there if you still want to live as cheap as possible while still getting enough nutrition.

How much Euro would you spend on groceries monthly?

You are a developer looking to hire a junior full stack developer. Thought on giving them to solve fizz buzz and build To Do list from 0?

For the technical interview, would it make sense to give the candidate these two tasks?

  1. FizzBuzz
  2. Build a To Do List from scratch without using AI. They can use Google to look up syntax, keywords.

My main goal with a simple CRUD To Do List task is I want to see they understand how a basic distributed system works for example, how the frontend, backend, and database communicate and work together.

Ngl, I belive if you can build a CRUD To Do List without AI, you are kinda ready to work as a web dev as a jr.

P.S. If I encounter a candidate I don't like, I might give them a LeetCode Hard as a gift!"

Folk, der har været i et forhold i 1–2 år . Har I nogensinde tænkt “Måske burde jeg slå op og finde en, der passer bedre til mig?”

Jeg er 25m år og har været sammen med min kæreste i næsten et år. Hun er et godt menneske, elsker dyr og er loyal.

Vi skændes eller diskuterer stort set aldrig, vi har dog for nylig forskellige sexdrifter

Nogle gange har jeg lyst til sex mindst én gang om dagen, men vi ender med at have sex cirka én gang om ugen eller nogle gange slet ikke.

Og helt ærligt kan det nogle gange føles lidt trivielt og kedeligt at være sammen med hende.

Så nogle gange, måske 2–3 gange om ugen, får jeg tanker ud af det blå.

“Burde jeg slå op og måske blive lykkeligere alene eller sammen med en anden?”

---

Til jer, der har været i en lignende situation

Har I nogensinde haft de samme tanker, og hvad endte I med at gøre?

For at være helt ærlig vil jeg gerne være sammen med en, der gør mit liv sjovt, lykkeligt og meningsfuldt.

Jeg ved ikke helt, hvordan jeg skal beskrive det. Jeg er ikke så god til at sætte ord på den følelse, jeg har lige nu.

Altså, jeg søger ikke nødvendigvis en pige, der er 10/10 udseendemæssigt eller er rig. Jeg søger mere en pige, hvis personlighed passer 10/10 med min, og hvor vi virkelig er kompatible.

Med min nuværende kæreste vil jeg måske sige, at vi passede 10/10 sammen i starten, men lige nu føles det mere som 5/10.

Håber, I forstår, hvad jeg mener 😅

Har jeres pensionsselskab outperformet SP 500 de seneste 5 år?

Folk betaler ind til pension hver måned, og pensionsselskaberne investerer pengene for os.

Men hvor godt har de egentlig performet?

Lad os sige man tager en pensionprodukt/investering med middel risiko.

I read about Law Of Attraction, it says like "someone or something that are similar they attract each others" as managers who have been working closely with people from employees to C level. What is your thought about the Law of Attraction?

I’ve been reading about the Law of Attraction, which basically says that people or things with similar characteristics tend to attract each other.

For those of you who have worked closely with people at different levels of an organization, from employees to C level people,

  1. Do you think people tend to attract others who are similar to them, especially in the workplace?
  2. And when companies hire new guys, do you think in general they might hire someone that have similar personality like people in their departments? like same work ethic, same mindset, same lifestyle etc...

On Linkedin I'm connected with an old 50yo+ senior guy who got layoff and a new CS grad both of them have been unemployed for almost a year now. It hurts me everytime I see their profile with "Open To Work" banner

I sometimes see their posts while I was scrolling Linkedin and they wrote like

>I have read XYZ programming books and built XYZ app

>here is the link go check it.

Ngl I was in the same boat like them.

I got fired when I had only 1 yoe and It took me 5 months luckily to get a new job again.

Hopefully they find a new job soon.

Not sure if it has to do with ageism as well...

However I keep hearing "Who you know is better what you know" when it comes to find a job

People who understand investing well, is it true many of them don't invest in index funds like SP500 but they study each specific stocks and invest in tham to maximize ROI?

For example a colleage kid who don't have time to spend finding what stock to invest and why to invest that, so they just put in SP500

while a rich dude who have been trading for years they don't do that.. they invest specific stocks only, based on their analysis or strategy so they outperform SP500 at the end.
