Future Job
Hi everyone, I'm a student interested in computer science and I'm about to finish school. I already know things like Python, Linux, networking, and a little bit of cybersecurity stuff.
But I haven't chosen my future job yet and I don't know what I want to be...
So I want to ask you guys about computer jobs that you would recommend to me.
The most important thing to me is the salary, and the second one is being less likely to be replaced by AI (please don't tell me it won't happen).
I've heard DevOps can be a good option, but I want to know more about other jobs.
i am a newbie in coding and i want advices
recently i have been to coding and i am learning python
i want to go for CEH and after that i want to go to purple team
from the guys that know about coding i want some advices and things that you recommend to me for my journey of coding
it would mean a lot to me
thank you
Heyyy everyone
I have a question, im a student of software engineering 2year. and i want answers about what the niches to gets a job freelance or with teams or anything helps me to grow up on programming
PROJECT REVIEW
Hello Everyone!!, I just completed a BIG project I have been working for a month and i want your opinion about it.
It's a SpaceX Launch Predictor & Cost Optimizer (A full end-to-end ML system that predicts the probability of a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster landing successfully, enriches launch data with real weather conditions, and exposes the results through an interactive Streamlit web application with a business ROI calculator.)
It Includes Data Pipeline, Advanced Machine Learning Algorithms (with Hyperparameter tuning), Explainability AI (SHAP), MLOps (AWS S3, Docker) and Business Value (ROI Calculator = Financial Results).
FUN FACT: For this project i used my own Evaluation Metric library (standardizes supervised and unsupervised model diagnostics into a single, consistent API), that is also Verified and Published in PYPI Community.

CAN SOMEONE WORKING AT META HELP?? 😭
I NEED HELP!
Im genuinely so panicked right now. My instagram account was permanently disabled a day ago, and I’ve been stressed out sooo much contsctibg the meta support assistants who haven’t done anything but give me a “maybe” if I’ll get it back. I’ve worked so hard to curate my page and I REALLY don’t want to lose it!!! 😢 Please, if anyone can help me restore my account dm me I’m so stressed
i really like programming, the concepts and such but i cant stick to it
so i tried many languages with little to no success, i cant stick to any programming language because one does something better than the other one and its hard, idk maybe it's my mental or the dry tutorials and no project idea's, i dont enjoy anything, maybe i haven't found what i want to do yet. i enjoy minecraft datapacks tho those are fun and a little scripting language i guess, i need some recommendations what can i do to bring joy to programming, sidenote: i like low level stuff it's very interesting.
I making a OS AT 7 YEARS OLD NOT JOKING
LOOK AT THE IMAGE AND IS MY OS A REAL OS ITS OPENSOURCE NAME IS NEXUS KANHAOS APEX AETHER SYSTEM 1.0.0 PREMIUM MY FIRST OS COPY THAT I MADE WHAT WHOULD I MAKE NOW
I’m struggling picking what programming language to learn. Any advice would be appreciated!!
So I’m currently picking up programming to have as a hobby that I can make fun projects with!
A couple of the things I’ve noticed is
I enjoy understanding why I’m doing what I’m doing when it comes to programming like the nitty-gritty interest me
As well, I like being able to make something that is visual or I can see the progress as I build it up
I’ve been interested in game dev as well I took boot.dev’s course and found the idea back and web designed to be interesting, but I don’t know if it would end up fulfilling that each of kind of liking to see the results of what I’m making. I guess I’m trying to get some guidance just figuring out what language it would be best to sync my teeth in to. Or if I’m just being dumb and I just need to pick one and go with them.
Thank you guys
Luck and fear -tier3 college
Wtf students can do 😬
As a Girl ,
I think I am good at coding as compared to my classmates and my college mates ...
But in the tier 3 college , you should have your luck...😬😬😬reallyyyy??
Abhi 4 th year start ho gya, but still nothing in my hand....
I solved something 500 questions , and still my fucking luck reject me in 2 companies already,while gadhe gadhe bache are there...idk whyyyyyy.....
I share this story in ln and X vla bla...because I don't want to flex my hard work...but still I felt veryyy bad yr...
😭😭
Yesterday I met one senior, he is Master in codechef, but still he got placed at the end of the 4th year. And his package is 10lpa..🙂🙃
Worst thing of tier 3 or idk fucking luck
Asus zephyrous vs macbook pro for programming. Which one is better suited.
Hello everyone, I am looking to buy a new laptop for university and I am majoring in computer science. I am not sure whether I should go with a macbook which I am not familiar with or asus. I heard somewhere that macbooks are excellent for programming but I am not sure why and if it is more worth it for me than an asus I can use. Please share your advice with me. Thank. you
How much would you charge (and how long would it take) for this scope? Family client, want a fair number.
​
Building a full pickle-ordering ecommerce site for a relative's small business.
Scope
React frontend — home/catalog, product pages, cart, checkout, login, user profile, order history
Java Spring Boot backend + Spring Security (auth, sessions)
Relational database (users, products, orders, payments)
Live payment gateway, needs to accept orders from anywhere globally, real shipping to real addresses
Full deployment — live domain, hosting, SSL, production-ready
Solo dev (me), ~48 days from spec to launch
What would you quote for this as a freelancer, and honestly —
is 48 days realistic for one person doing this for the first time end-to-end?
Trying to set a fair price, not lowball myself or overcharge family.
DECRYPT EVERY FILE TYPE
Good morning/afternoon/evening.
Three friends sent me different types of files with the challenge of decrypting them all. They're theirs, and it's a challenge between friends.
The problem is, I have no idea how file decryption works, and I'd like to know how to decrypt any type of file.
Context of a code
The more n more, I do code with AI, I am loosing context of my code, what's happening there, what tech is used
How am I supposed to answer the questions regarding scalability, security, process, architecture to my managers now, am I supposed to read every line of code after making a change ?
Who gives time for that ?
Learning to code a web app from scratch
Hello programmers!
I have an idea for an app that I would like to try and build in my free time- I briefly learnt how to python but that is the extent of my programming experience. I do not know where to start - besides VS code and flutter are the recommended programs. I have zero clue where to find resources to learn to code!! And where to even start
I would like this app to be interactive as well, which probably will make it harder??
Would appreciate some guidance, thanks coders !!
Mid level Data scientist MAANG
i want to prepare for sr data scientist in MAANG companies. My background is in core ML, deeplearning, nlp etc.
I plan to target in around a year from now.
Does someone have any idea about the interview preparation or someone in these companies who would like to share some experience?
Interviewprep resource:
PracHub: Company specific interview questions
DataLemur: SQL Interview and Data Science Interview questions
StrataScratch: SQL and Python interview
Is using ChatGPT for planning not good practice?
Okay a little background first:
I have been coding for a couple years now.
I've made a couple projects but mostly just tinkering around and following tutorials. Then ChatGPT came to the stage. I started using it for everything. For a moment I could not code unless I was using it.
I have since started using it less and less for actual code. I have been taking classes and reading the docs more.
But now to my real question:
Is it frowned upon and generally bad practice to use it for planning?
For example planning out the features of a program, the layout of a website, the game loop of a video game?
I've been using a lot for that sort of thing. I come up with an idea, ask what it thinks, tighten it and repeat until I feel satisfied with the result.
I've been thinking, and I just can't come to a conclusion. I am a single dev, so it's not that much different from brainstorming with someone else? Or is it?
So I thought I would ask. Any advice, opinions, resources or anything else are welcome.
I understand and debug my own code, but I still feel like crap relying on AI for new problems
Junior dev here is it normal to feel like shit when I use AI to code?
I'm a junior programmer/software engineer. I can code, I ship stuff, and I debug most of my own bugs without help. But the second I hit something I've genuinely never seen before, my brain just blanks. I try to think at first but nothing so i just go straight to AI.
I do understand the code it gives me I read it, I could explain it back to you but there's still this gross feeling afterward, like I cheated somehow. Like I didn't "earn" the solution.
The other thing: sometimes I know exactly what I want to build and how the pieces should connect, but I still freeze on how to actually start. Just staring at an empty file.
Is this normal for junior devs? How do you deal with the AI guilt, and how do you get past the blank-page freeze?
Needing advice how to help my husband!
Hello! I am writing on behalf of my husband, since he would not seek help,/opinion/advice... but since I love him, and I do not know how to help him, since I am not literate in your field, that is why I am asking for advice from you!
My husband has been working for 4 years in a company, dealing with python and backend infrastructure. There are still many more things that he is running, but over time, according to him, the work becomes more and more, the stress and exhaustion escalate. Initially, several people were hired, but in the end, only he remained and now I see how in 4 years the weight of his work is breaking him. I understand that times are difficult and now new people are not being hired, belts are being tightened, but when the work becomes too much and you can barely breathe, what do you do... I tell him to quit work and give himself some time to rest, but he does not want to, and I am afraid that it will be too late. Our child and I need him to be around and with us, at work you can be replaced by the end of the week.... So my question is, is the work related to python programming this stressful everywhere? Is there any hope that he could find a job that he can enjoy again?
Website idea I wanna talk with a coder about
So ive been thinking about building an app or website (prolly a website first if thats easier) thats made for transparency for renters. Somewhere where the general public could go to to research their apartment complexes before they sign the lease and educate them about rental laws in their area.
I often find a lot of people end up in the same crappy boat about a situation that could've been prevented if they just knew a lot of things beforehand. I also have a strong sense of justice autism that has kept me coming back to this very idea time and time again.
I've been researching laws, writing out ideas, and generally visualizing how I'd like the website to look like and work. I think it could have a lot of potential but I'd love to work with a coder on this.
I have more details and ideas pertaining to this but I tend to word vomit quite a bit when I'm passionate about something, so I'll keep it at that. -- also, I'm sorry if this post is against the rules, I'm just not sure where else I could reach out to to ask someone about the technical aspect of this idea. Apologies if it does.
