[errant flame]

[quartz ridge]

not true

[fickle juniper]

Collapse form exhaustion is pretty easy to do in html

[quartz ridge]

if they have good dev skills

lets say they know pulumi

or soemthing lke jenkins

they will be in hot demand

devops is growing

lets say u know flux cd

or something like tailwind css

ur gonna be in hot demand lmao

not jobeless

[fickle juniper]

Wait why are there so many __ML 😅

[quartz ridge]

imagine ppl who actually know something like K8s

[fickle juniper]

Is this all the same person

[quartz ridge]

or Docker

or Podman

we just win

bc devops is so rare these days

most ppl dont even touch the space.

[lapis tide]

podman

[errant flame]

[quartz ridge]

it was like lana

something

[magic ether]

pork and pork

[errant flame]

idk if i’m acc supoosed to say

[tawny zephyr]

what team

[obsidian adder]

Amazon interview was so easy lmao

wtf

[quartz ridge]

ya idk

[obsidian adder]

Wilding

It really is rng

[magic ether]

ur getting trolled

[tawny zephyr]

yeah ik

[magic ether]

damn gj!

[tawny zephyr]

💀

[quartz ridge]

[errant flame]

yeah 😍

[rugged spade]

o nice

[errant flame]

i can message u them private if u wanna

[quartz ridge]

it was lana for me

tho

[real island]

What you get asked?

[errant flame]

did u interview @rugged spade

[obsidian adder]

Basically to implement the snake game

[real island]

Damn nice

[obsidian adder]

Given a list of moves return if it’s valid or not

[rugged spade]

yah

[hallow sapphire]

o I got that in a karat once

[quartz ridge]

i once had to do

wordle

lol

i died

cuz i tried in c#

[obsidian adder]

I asked the guy about WLB and he laughed

[quartz ridge]

and i got monka

[obsidian adder]

The team is on call at least two or three times a week unfortunately

[tawny zephyr]

thats like the worst q u can ask in an interview no?

[quartz ridge]

theres only two ways to implement it

[obsidian adder]

Like come on

[quartz ridge]

on way is to do it line by line

second is to ask caht GPT

both work.

[obsidian adder]

I don’t think so

[quartz ridge]

equally well

but i think the issue with AI

is that u acc kinda

[obsidian adder]

I don’t see why it would be a bad thing to ask

[quartz ridge]

stop coding much urself

[tawny zephyr]

ig it depends on interviewer

[lapis tide]

🐑

[quartz ridge]

thinks like codium

or something like

[obsidian adder]

He was nice though

[quartz ridge]

tbanine

or even github copilot

[obsidian adder]

So I think I’m ok

[quartz ridge]

these just autofill wayy too much

cuz it has like infinite context on urcode

[tawny zephyr]

depends on your employe they might get the impression you are going to do the bare minimum

[quartz ridge]

so its tough to really master

the ins and outs of progrmaming ina langauge

if u have these tools perma turned on

[tawny zephyr]

but they want someone who goes above n beyond and stuff

spends an extra hour a day

ykw I mean

[quartz ridge]

like think about how much u acc wrtie code

[obsidian adder]

True

[quartz ridge]

from scratch

too much autogenerated boiler plate code

i wish i could turn it off at times

it def doubles my producitvity

but at the same time

[obsidian adder]

He was young though so I think it’s more normalized for people our age

[quartz ridge]

i lose the raw touch

[tawny zephyr]

yeah thats fair

[quartz ridge]

of actually coding

without auto gen boilerplate

[obsidian adder]

He said he’s been working for 3 years so he’s at most like 25/26

[quartz ridge]

but also chat gpt 4

is similar

[tawny zephyr]

I see

[zenith eagle]

where is this?

[quartz ridge]

if u feed it enough context it can basically just write up any amoutn of code

that u want

[obsidian adder]

AWS

[quartz ridge]

so definitely leveraging it can be useful

esp with the new context windows

like for eample

with anthropic

[zenith eagle]

lmao aws

[quartz ridge]

u can basically put in all ur docs

[zenith eagle]

makes sense

[quartz ridge]

into it and use it as context

for writing new code

which generally is insane

[zenith eagle]

idk why peeps put up with it tho

[quartz ridge]

i have pretty high hopes

with gemini new model

esp gemini ultra

seems to outperform gpt 4

in all major metrics

except for that one about actually understanding what ur saying in natural language

i stuggle to rmb the exact name

of the thing

but basically if u ask it something in a kind of funky way

it can still decipher what u are saying

i think gemini ultra sort of struggles with that decipher part

but i think we can improve this by finetuning it for our use case

but i also think

that the thing with

multimodal

in the demo video u know was faked

at lesat thats what i heard from naysayers...

[zenith eagle]

i hope she sees this bro

[terse burrow]

ibm pay is 31 per hour from my friend

need to confirm if same as my role

konrad is around 37

quitting 8 months in is pretty scary though lmao

[lapis tide]

why

[terse burrow]

idk bruh i dont wanna get flamed lmao

never done anything like that before

also idk how coop office handles that

[lapis tide]

what school

[quartz ridge]

hes ubc

[terse burrow]

ubc

[obsidian adder]

Well honestly i was gonna accept my Wayfair offer cause wlb is way more chill and pay is only a little bit less, but given all their fucking layoffs Im not comfortable with that anymore lol

[zenith eagle]

for ng or intern?

[obsidian adder]

Intern. Both seem to have the same RO rate

[zenith eagle]

i would suggest aws

[obsidian adder]

And honestly I’m just trying to enjoy fourth year without the stress of interviewing so whatever RO I get I’m accepting

[zenith eagle]

u got a good mindset

wish i had that luxury

[obsidian adder]

I say it to my siblings and like the first year rookies on my team but people gotta enjoy their uni while it lasts

Cause man three years flew by so fucking quick😭

Only got a year left before I actually have to be an adult

[zenith eagle]

best way to enjoy cs is to socialize with non stem majors

[obsidian adder]

All my homies are health sci commerce or eng lmao

Last sem

I’m assuming you’re talking about cisc 360 at queens

[terse burrow]

Bruh i got ibm offer

16 months

I asked again and they said no negotiation

[lapis tide]

congrats

how much they pay now

31?

[terse burrow]

probably around that

they only tell me when they confirm with school

if it was like 8 months id take but 16 man idkj

[strange jay]

damn american quants make me feel bad

[analog current]

No way @lapis tide the guy who stole 7k from amazon got an email from hr today

[azure junco]

[azure junco]

When I worked at a startup the cto chased someone out of the office because the guy paid someone else to do the interview for him

And they snuffed him out

[analog current]

how fucking stupid do u have to be to pay someone to do an interview

😭

[azure junco]

People who do nothing for 3-6 months before getting fired so they can collect paycheques

[analog current]

true like this dude in particular

this dude is like

mega dumb

he would make me read to him

because he didnt know how to read

😭

[quartz ridge]

wait is this legit?

[analog current]

yes this is 100% real

[quartz ridge]

jeez

where can i find the story

[analog current]

he stole multiple flights and flew around like

all summer

with the intern relocation

idek how he did it tbh yet

[quartz ridge]

wtf

wait where did u get the screenshot tho

like why would he post that lmaoo

[analog current]

[magic ether]

YO

nathan man

[analog current]

this guy has obvious mental health issues from as far as I know him but he doesn’t treat them

so he ends up doin shit like this 💀

[gleaming parcel]

Akenathen is my grandfather

[gilded charm]

[terse burrow]

No good lives

Dude

[zenith eagle]

tbh ihate that u can't change the font on the lc editor

i hate the default i wanna use my custom one with ligatures

[hybrid owl]

idk it just looks weird on my screen

[zenith eagle]

that looks like inter

https://rsms.me/inter/

it's a great font but i don't see it on my end

must be ur os + brownser font settings

[hybrid owl]

yea prob

[zenith eagle]

this what i see:

it's defo using inter for sure

[hybrid owl]

idk how you recognized the font straight up

lol

[zenith eagle]

i'm a font nerdge

but i used it on my resume in LaTeX and on my website a lot

LaTeX + Inter goes hard ngl

but also inter is used everywhere i think spotify uses inter?

ok nvm spotify doenst use inter i'm a clown

example:

what do you think? @hybrid owl

fuck there needs to be a american psycho business card scene but with resumes

no

mine's better

[worldly ridge]

My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself.

[quartz ridge]

wtf this font is insane

rroboto mid

amazon is rng

[zenith eagle]

You don't like?

[quartz ridge]

very good

why does shopify use rails lmao

[hybrid owl]

lgtm!

[quartz ridge]

@zenith eagle

hi all

i have a quick query

can someone attend to my query?

thanks

can i ask u a query @safe light

[kind hazel]

if u ever work in rails, shit is like python on steroid

the amount of syntatic sugaring

is quite frankly crazy

[zenith eagle]

rails is stupid

rails is a framework

ruby is the lang

[terse burrow]

ruby is ok

[zenith eagle]

ruby is so fucking annoying

like

i get angry while using it

[terse burrow]

ruby is a gem

[zenith eagle]

fkc off

[terse burrow]

python is a snake

[quartz ridge]

im wondering best advice to go from really low tier small company to something like amazon or above @safe light

[zenith eagle]

ruby syntax seems like the devs forgot half of it

[quartz ridge]

like new grad at bad company

[gleaming parcel]

Ktor it the best 🤭

[weak gazelle]

[magic cave]

Does Amazon send out OAs to everyone?

[worldly ridge]

UofT > Harvard > Trash > UW > Other schools

[magic cave]

UofTcels sleeping on McGill

[weak gazelle]

[worldly ridge]

beats me

🤷‍♀️

[magic cave]

Scottish slave owner

[grave light]

they should rename the school then

[weak gazelle]

fr

[worldly ridge]

it didnt get renamed because no one cares about mcgill

[weak gazelle]

regardless that's the first time im hearing mcgill as university

i thought it was a town

[magic cave]

What about Hárvard

[weak gazelle]

xomewhere

[fickle juniper]

Dafuq is Harvard, sounds like a liberal arts school

[worldly ridge]

If you can fart you can go to Harvard

[fickle juniper]

@weak gazelle

[weak gazelle]

Biased because schools like Harvard only take millionaires

[lapis tide]

wtf is the

[sour lark]

loo aint even on the list

[magic ether]

cuz loo has 2 good programs

that have 1k students per year or less

and half of them are ngmi

the other half is crazy tho

[normal jetty]

It’s also cuz uoft has 81,000 students

So it’s gonna be disappointing if some of them don’t become millionaires

[magic ether]

but queens and western are there

60 and like 70 something

[normal jetty]

True

[magic ether]

but thats business schools

[normal jetty]

Over for Carleton cels

[magic ether]

they have rep

[magic ether]

rip us

[sour lark]

queens and western are there just on nepo

[magic ether]

ye make sense

[rugged spade]

i swear waterloo should be here

[analog current]

yea fr

[tough knot]

queens is honestly the best uni

so awful its good

[vivid fiber]

Queens is great

[quartz ridge]

Average swe salary

76k new grad canada

[tough knot]

yeah ik, im trolling

[wet rapids]

Ceridian vs shopify vs manulife vs guidewire?

[storm stream]

Kingston student life is a vibe

[storm stream]

Shopify obviously

[wet rapids]

Why is that

[storm stream]

Top tier engineering and well known company

[stable ravine]

@mystic mirage how's your ng hunt?

[wet rapids]

I see

[stable ravine]

same

[storm stream]

It's not even a question... Shopify all day

[stable ravine]

I'm just grinding lc 24*7

[tough knot]

what company

ah

[quartz ridge]

Ceridian IMO

[tough knot]

cringee

[stable ravine]

they rejected you?

[storm stream]

Canada is a scam honestly... I took a contract with a friend in Australia

[quartz ridge]

Ceridian is top tier

[storm stream]

😭

[quartz ridge]

From what I heard

[stable ravine]

did you apply to shopify?

[quartz ridge]

A lot of great engineers working on their platform

[stable ravine]

intern?

[quartz ridge]

Shopify is more of a smaller startup

Not worth it imo

[stable ravine]

apparently they take in ngs

yeah they do

damn

how many lc you solved?

[tough knot]

lol

[storm stream]

How long did it take you to get to this level 👑

[stable ravine]

2-3 months of pure grind

I just don't do hards

only mediums

[tough knot]

yeah, but are you really expected to solve hards in interviews

its mainly just the intuition

[storm stream]

Yeah they're insane

[tough knot]

some seem rather intuitive ngl, but would need more than 30 mins to implement lol

where mediums you can usually do in 20ish mins

yeah

idk about fun...

[stable ravine]

if you know the pattern it would hardly take 10mins for mediums

[tough knot]

but dopamine

[storm stream]

👀

[tough knot]

ain't noone grinding leetcode like that though

[storm stream]

Trees/graphs are easier is that true? Less variations of questions

Even dp

Daaaaaamnnn

[stable ravine]

yea

[vague totem]

Does anyone know when TD Bank gives rejections/acceptances

For swe coops

[stable ravine]

but 500lc is over kill for data analyst position

are you applying for swe too?

yeah but I'm not getting interviews either lol

idk if I can help you xD

waiting for my time to shine

[storm stream]

Honestly I don't think businesses will budge

everyone is so risk averse rn

especially not in Canada

why even invest in your business in Canada

you can just buy a single family home and make 2x in a couple of years

what's the tax law change?

oh on the US side

FUCK

😭

[worldly ridge]

guys

are we back

[marsh thorn]

I'm so confused, how does a US tax policy affect us?

where do we come in?

wait

the US is introducing anti-offshoring policies?

isn't this good for the American people?

[storm stream]

of course

it just means that Canadians have to move to US

brain drain af 😭

[fickle juniper]

Nah this ain’t it

[marsh thorn]

From what I heard, there are a small few minority of realtors making the big bucks while the rest not so much

[fickle juniper]

How many realtors are making millions…

[mint gorge]

Doesn't realtor have more risk associated with it

[fossil field]

this is true

[fickle juniper]

Can u send link

[fossil field]

only top make the most money while the rest are scraping by

[warm rock]

bruh once i saw a senior level data science position for netflix and it was like 750k

[grave light]

yeah realtor incomes not stable. dont sell anything = no commission, live off poverty base wage

[marsh thorn]

What risk?

they're not buying or selling the house

what do they have to lose?

[warm rock]

ye but still insane amount of money

[mint gorge]

what aamin said

[warm rock]

most doctors dont even make that much

[fickle juniper]

Exactly, the top swes leave Canada for the US. Where do top realtors go?

Ur excluding the highest band of pay

The average realtor makes more than me?!

Interesting

Maybe I should switch

I know 3 realtors

They make very little money and are driving around all day meeting with potential clients

[warm rock]

its such an unstable career tho

[mint gorge]

I think you're exaggerating the amount of work they do, proper realtors live with little sleep or have good family backings to rely on for when things go south

[fickle juniper]

U also have to pay license fees and brokerage fees

I think u should switch to real estate

Ur right it’s way better

CS is shit let’s be honest

Too much work for shit pay

Just switch, finally u can live that good life

[hallow sapphire]

I feel like this is pointless dooming

go get a therapist bro

u need help

[fickle juniper]

Bro why are u even trying to get a PR in Canada, it’s shit

[hallow sapphire]

a bit sick in the head if I do say

[fickle juniper]

U have all the numbers m8

[hallow sapphire]

@fickle juniper it's somethign that people do

being able to go somewhere that isn't their 3rd world country or is a more stable country

is a better choice for some even tho it might not make sense for us in our case

[fickle juniper]

Yeah ik ik

Just this take triggered me so hard

Well I hope cs works out better than u expect

[hallow sapphire]

get help or get off discord dude

[fickle juniper]

Considering ur takes I think it will, bar seems real low

[hallow sapphire]

u need grass for real

[magic cave]

Lmao

What about landlord? I have 8 international students stuffed into a 1BR each paying me $800 a month

[barren sinew]

Sales is super cut throat. If you think the tech layoffs are bad, sales will cut you for underperforming for a few months even if the economy is booming

[mint gorge]

how will you enforce and make sure all of them do pay

it sounds easy and good on paper, but negotiating with all of them and making sure everything goes as expected gets hard, theres a lot of horror stories from landlords

[fickle juniper]

I think he was being sarcastic? Not sure

[stable ravine]

landlord detected ^^^^

[worldly ridge]

Sup, I own multiple properties near diploma mills and universities

Why?

Oh the limit in ottawa

Nah, I got priced out gen zs and millenials looking to lease my place lol

[stable ravine]

1 person?

[waxen oriole]

ik about 9 ppl who were rejected

me included

yep

other person ik had a really good OA and faang and still reject

28th

[stable ravine]

When did you submit your oa?

[waxen oriole]

i was first 25 or smthn

[stable ravine]

i put in a genuine msg to hiring manager and still got insta rej so over 😔

[hallow sapphire]

[hallow sapphire]

but they said someone reached out

[stable ravine]

Anyone did the infra?

[waxen oriole]

i only spent 30 mins on it though so

i dont blame the rej

like 80?

idk

above 50

[stable ravine]

Why?

[waxen oriole]

i agree

i shouldve done the backend one

ive never even met anyone who got in thru anything other than the backend one LOL

crazy

theres this many people willing to do take homes

i guarantee none.

or 1/50 ish maybe

[stable ravine]

I thought ruby on rails was a movie title 💀

[waxen oriole]

since last july

but ive been employed so the 500 rejs dont bother me too much

[stable ravine]

Last year? 💀

[waxen oriole]

ye LOL

well yeah

i'm not exactly working at a faang company

the take home is a good idea

better filter than OA. less applicants to screen.

yup

LMAO

okay yeha THATS crazy

[heavy flume]

bonus $250 🔥

[stable ravine]

the app said it was rolling basis

[waxen oriole]

I don't personally know anyone who did yet.

But everyone I know did fronfend and mobile

so maybe some backend ones did.

Bro

In my hiring manager note

basically

[stable ravine]

No one reads that 😂

[waxen oriole]

i told them i applied for dev degree twice

and swe twice

and have been manifesting shopify for six years since 10th grade

yeah

if they read it i wouldve gotten in 100% 😄

yup

[wary tundra]

no, no one has yet. no clue why people are saying so (source: full time employee at shopify)

no

i know a ft

[waxen oriole]

I should've spent more time on my take home 😔

cause this season has been poopoo for me

[stable ravine]

You covered all the checkboxes?

[waxen oriole]

yeah

ofc

[stable ravine]

Hmmm

[waxen oriole]

but i couldve like

at least spent 6 hours on ui

idk

tbh idt cheating even matters anymore

i wouldnt be surprised if 90% of the apps are just copy pasyed

[stable ravine]

You said 30mins before 🤔

[wary tundra]

they don't care, the OA is essentially irrelevant

[waxen oriole]

im saying i should have spent 6 hours

instead of just 30 mins

[wary tundra]

no

[waxen oriole]

okay it makss me feel alot better that i got insta resume rej then

[wary tundra]

why are people still submitting PR's when the deadling was 11:59 est today

🤣

[waxen oriole]

to deter people i assume

no 😭

i meant i should have.

in order to get a better chance at least.

but now ik it doesnt matter ig

[stable ravine]

I just made a fancy read me coz i know HR are dumb af and has 10 y/o brains

[waxen oriole]

yea..

I'm guessing they take

yeah 30-50 interns would be

accurate imo

i just got unlucky then imo

[wary tundra]

you have to realize that out of 300 applicants there are probably <50 that have competitive resume

[terse burrow]

wait so no interviews out yet

for shopify

[waxen oriole]

is competitive resume

2+ faang

[terse burrow]

no thats pretty mid

[wary tundra]

because after going through resume screen + referrals, if u get interview they will discuss the project in one of them, and that's the only time they'll look at it

[waxen oriole]

oh god

[terse burrow]

u need atleast 5 faangs

u need every faang actually

[waxen oriole]

seems doable

not sure why most ppl dont go that route

[stable ravine]

I thought you can choose any project to present at the technical

[wary tundra]

you can talk about personal ones but they will inquire about the oa project specifically

[stable ravine]

For infra its a simple f sudoku solver 💀

[wary tundra]

well backend one was simple crud that took < 100 lines of GPT code

[stable ravine]

So its rng

🙏 just cope and pray to the rng and grind gods

[wheat comet]

How was it

[fluid harness]

i did

[vague totem]

Me!

[vague totem]

Is first year w a referral and strong resume possible for interview?

[vague totem]

The closest thing to a LC question

[azure junco]

Shopify thinks the world revolves around them and that people would sell kidneys to work there

Over inflated ego ass company

[zenith eagle]

wiat what heppened?

[vague totem]

I will

I need coop first year 😭

[azure junco]

Respectfully if you're in this server in first year, and are taking job searching seriously, you will get a much better company than Shopify by the time you're in 3rd year

Don't settle for less 🔥

[vague totem]

Ty for ur kind words. Let's hope it all works out for us. Any coop is good rn

[stone osprey]

Interview in 30

What do

[wheat comet]

gl

[stone osprey]

[vague totem]

Do LC

[gilded charm]

Any international student aiming for US?

[stable ravine]

wdym?

[lost lark]

😏

Bro doesnt know the method

[sour lark]

pretty common

[fallen mason]

samsung pays less ($8 less), same role

[vapid spire]

in this market manm 4/4 get that network in. Hard work dont matter anymore, getting lucky with RO is

[stone osprey]

Ceridian vs RBC, what will you rather do?
Ceridian 8 months. RBC 4

[vapid spire]

whoever has a higher chance of giving RO 😭 probably take the longer one, unless RBC has a fancier tech stack to help inflate ur resume

[hallow sapphire]

I think the question is

what year are you

first

[stone osprey]

5

why is RBC rope?

[stone osprey]

RBC

[analog current]

anyone got RBC yet?

[hallow sapphire]

then better RO if u can

[stone osprey]

higher chance of RO

[vapid spire]

actually true yeah, if you wanna graduate early (imo not worth it in this market) which also matters if ur early in ur year and get locked out of classes cause u can get classes

[hallow sapphire]

chill with the rope my dudes

@stone osprey congratz regardless

[vapid spire]

yeah gonrats my guy

[stone osprey]

havent recevied the offer yet but expecting it this week

[stone osprey]

thanks

[vapid spire]

you returnign to school after?

[analog current]

same

[vapid spire]

how many sems you got left?

[stone osprey]

ill probably go with RBC, since wanna get RO and grduate

[stone osprey]

i can graduate one sem after intrnship but cand elay if i wanted to

[worthy orbit]

anyone get borealis yet?

[stone osprey]

RBC?

[analog current]

for RBC?

[analog current]

yea

[stone osprey]

dm?

[worthy orbit]

yes

[analog current]

no response yet

[vapid spire]

best of luck dude, if you got other places with possible RO, then makes sense u take 4 w RBC, grad asap take RO. Otherwise take 8

[worthy orbit]

wdym no response u said u got rejected

[stone osprey]

nah these are my only two options. but it hink RBC is RO

[analog current]

wait is borealis AI and Borealis RBC the same shit 💀

[vapid spire]

whyd you think rbc is giving ro when you havent worked there yet

[worthy orbit]

yes

[stone osprey]

i know a few people there and they said they will give RO

said conversin rate is pretty high for interns

[analog current]

the one on RBC only says application recieved for borealis

[vapid spire]

trust me my guy, in bad markets, promises will fuck you over. promises are just promises, know first hand 😭

dont put all ur eggs in one basket or some shit

[stone osprey]

yea you are right actually. But i kinda had a trash interview experience with Ceridian

[worthy orbit]

nah its the same thing

[analog current]

nvm then yes i did get rjected

[worthy orbit]

after interview?

[analog current]

nah

[vapid spire]

this not ur first coop right?

[stone osprey]

will be 3rd

[vapid spire]

nice, well start smooching up ur past coops to see if u can get ROs there, helps negotiating RO if oyu have pref in rbc/ceri if they do end up giving one.

do it on ur last sem

or do it now just dont update linkedin

[stone osprey]

did 2 coops with only one company and idk if i wanan go back they dont pay for shit

[vapid spire]

lmao

[stone osprey]

so my hopes are all from the next one

[vapid spire]

only have it to pad resume

[stone osprey]

yea do it

8 month aint worht it

my last was 8 months

most of the time gets wasted

4 month, faster pace you try to make more impact

[vapid spire]

lol theres no imapct on what I could do, only to the owners maybe.

cant learn much here. most of it is self learning

[stone osprey]

yea move quickly then homie

8 month aint worth it

[vapid spire]

yeah ending it when I enroll next sem.

or well if i can get classes lol, sum sem sucks getting classes

[analog current]

i prefer 4 months in genral

[stone osprey]

ye 4 month better
