I don't remember the proofs, but dp problems are a class of problems where the optimal solution is a polynomial like O(n^2) or O(n^3). And if that's the best solution, even a bad solution will be quite involved
This is just plain wrong

hollow flicker
#

😦 its joever

obsidian crater

griswald

halcyon topaz
#

how are dp problems all optimally n^2 or n^3

rain patio
#

i'm so lost lol. what do you mean that isn't dp?

#

idk lol the dp problems I did in my college class were n^2 at best and involved tabulation. Stuff like traveling salesman or the knapsack problem...

#

i thought dp was some class of very difficult problems that have no non-polynomial solution

#

oh

halcyon topaz

oh yeah i have to pay for that lol

all the leetcode lessons are paid 😩

oh i guess what I was talking about is an NP hard problem

#

i was mixing that up with dynamic programming

fibbonaci can be done with O(1) space

Some DP problems can be done in constant space

#

Like fibonacci

But rare

the roblox oa was pretty hard damn

past hound
#

I haven't done it. I completely plan to just do it as practice. A lot of companies just flat out made the OAs much harder than before.

halcyon topaz
#

i ran out of time

past hound

They want people to fail even if they are capable of doing it.

ya

idk i just fumbled i think

tardy geode
#

fuck em , i did their OA last year for ng 2023

#

its fking bs

halcyon topaz
#

i had 2 questions

obsidian crater
#

Roblox OA is hard af lol

vital meteor
#

its pre rng hugs

halcyon topaz
#

it said 70 mins but the codesignal was 50 mins long

#

i got like 150/300

tardy geode
#

But then a recruiter reached out to me 💀

halcyon topaz
#

150/600**

#

it was 50 minutes

vital meteor
#

it was only 4q before

halcyon topaz
#

definitley wasnt anything on leetcode idt

#

it wasnt easy

vital meteor
past hound
#

It is honestly disgusting how the resume screen is after the OA

#

Wasting my time

#

Something something "We don't want unlucky people working at our company"

vital meteor
#

yea and the companies who screen after OA are usually the ones who screen harder dead like hfts

willow sedge
#

wait how many questions is roblox?

halcyon topaz
#

the questions themselves werent that bad but i just fucked up with time

past hound
#

Shouldn't even be allowed to do that, but unfortunately, companies are allowed to waste people's time.

halcyon topaz
#

i was debugging and wasting time

vital meteor
#

i would do the games still though, like they reused the car game from last year, might help you if you take the OA in the future

past hound
#

Any auto OA I get is practice in my eyes

#

Don't give two shits about it

#

Just try your best, and call it that.

Yeah

The whole coding interview process is to eliminate false positives

#

i'm disappointed in roblox. If they're expecting their SWEs to be that good, why tf can't they actually improve their game engine

#

The roblox game engine is so far behind anything like Unity or Unreal, and it still uses your CPU to render stuff for the most part and is horribly unoptimized

#

literally, some roblox games work my computer harder than Elden Ring on ultra settings and look worse than minecraft

past hound
#

Game development is its own beast

#

Compared to usual CRUD stuff we get with SWE

rain patio
#

you'd think a company as wealthy as roblox could hire competent game engine developers

#

i doubt Unity or Unreal make as much money as roblox smh

#

i think it's fair to compare them because it shows what the roblox engine is lacking

#

supposedly roblox uses C behind the scenes, but only for expensive functions and stuff

#

what!?

#

how is it a different use case

#

both are used to make games

#

one just is more optimized and has more features

past hound
#

CPU rendering in 2023 is just a big no no unless you really need to

halcyon topaz
#

engines can be designed completely differnt depending on the context

#

especially unreal vs unity lmao

#

also its hard to make an engine that is a general level editor, game designing tool like unity or even roblox and make it really good at performance

rain patio
#

roblox doesn't even use culling lol

#

you can stick your face in a large wall so that it's all you see, and the game still tries to render stuff behind the wall that you can't see anyway

#

they said they can't implement culling because of mobile device compatibility lol

#

why not just only enable it on pc smh

#

game optimization has been researched for decades, and there's tons of papers on all this stuff. it's just a matter of getting off their butts and implementing these features

#

and if they expect their SWEs to be giga geniuses, might as well put them to work and have them optimize the game

#

roblox is an app that runs on your system...

#

you go to the website to view games, but clicking play requires you to have the app downloaded on your pc/mobile device

#

yeah roblox has no right being this unoptimized lol

past hound
#

They probably don't have a incentive to do so.

@past hound bro u been typing since like 5 mins , gives me anxiety

past hound
#

Fuck, I mindlessly emotionally dumped all my feelings into that message. I saved it, but I'd imagine this isn't the right place to do it (my unemployment was part of it, but there is others parts to it).

hollow flicker
tardy geode
#

its okay you can talk about it if it makes you feel better @past hound

#

everyone's going through some shit in their lives

past hound
#

Here is the message I originally typed out:

Mood. I don't feel hopeless, I know things will eventually get better. However, I do feel very, very exhaused mentally. After I graduated, I have been grinding really hard with no pay off. As a result, for the last few days, I have felt like I am slowing steam. I know I need throw more into the fire to keep it going and something will come up. It sucks being unemployed, but it sucks even more being unemployed and being trapped at my parent's place. I don't have a car anymore, I can't go anywhere without someone doing it for me. In a way, I feel like a child because of this. Like I am not a adult because I am a dependent. I barely move at all from the moment I wake up till the moment I fall asleep. I don't have a healthy relationship with my family. They think we have a healthy relationship, but in reality, all I feel is resentment towards them. I feel physically trapped with people I used to love, and not people I still love. I don't tell them how I feel because they would never understand and all it would result in me becoming homeless. There are realities about who I am that they will never accept and see as normal. To be more specific, I am part of the LGBT community, and my parents don't know that, and interactions with them make it clear that they truly see people like me as "weird", gross", and disgusting (those are their words).

hollow flicker
#

Man yeah...Im so grateful for my parents

tardy geode
#

i assume you had a car , so umm did you sell it or you were renting it out ?

hollow flicker
#

I feel for anyone who doesn't have that support

past hound
tardy geode
#

i would suggest go on a solo trip somewhere, it would cost BUT your mind will be fresh again

hollow flicker

i am staying alone in a new city , there's nothing here no friends nothing its hard but what i do is everyday i go to this random cafe and sit there all day. its a good change of place and idk why i feel more productive there

past hound
#

On a emotional level, finding employment feels exactly like a prison escape.

tardy geode
#

take your laptop , go to a cafe . get a coffee and sit there all day .

#

it helps

hollow flicker

Yeah I just sit on my porch all day sometimes and work

tardy geode

Being in the outdoors makes me feel easily 10x more calm and more measured.

It won't. I am out to my friends, but I will never take the chance and out myself to my parents. There are plenty of stories of queer people like myself doing this and becoming homeless that way. I'd rather not fuck my life for good on the chance that it happens. By at least having a roof over my head, I have the time and energy to continue the process. It is hard to mend a relationship like this. They love the person they think I am, not the person I actually am. In their mind, coming out is killing that "person" they love, and replacing it with someone else.

hollow flicker

Eva Elfie yeah

It is a huge incentive to find employment and get out, but as you would imagine, everyday is a struggle to believe that it will come to a end.

Hi <Esteemed Hiring Manager>,

I just wanted to touch base and thank you for taking the time to interview me last Monday. I enjoyed learning a little bit about the background of the <city> office and what <company> has to offer. From what you described, I really believe I would thrive in this multifaceted role- the challenge to learn <tech x>, to break into the dev side of <industry y> and most of all connect and work with clients. I think I've got the right set of skills and experience that will allow me to hit the ground running and make an impact. 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do that will help you in making a decision on whether to move forward with me as a candidate.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,
<Chef Pierre>

^ old shit is old

swift falcon

all i see in my area is front end or embedded/c++

I mean

#

You can't move which is the biggest issue

hollow flicker
#

Like can't?

#

Same kinda spread for me tho. Lots of embedded and web dev

swift falcon
#

As a former hiring manager, I can tell you that 90% of the resumes we get for our entry level SE postings are straight trash. Like they don't even meet the minimum requirement of "Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Software Engineer or related major or possess equivalent work experience" so they ATS just throws them out. So don't let the high application numbers scare you from applying.

I don't believe this, and even so, 10% of 1400 is like 140 ppl to contend with. Also, I feel like that can't even be right, there are some more sane numbers that are like 68 people that I wouldn't be suprised if it's like 30+ qualified applicants. I mean all of the 20 colleges in my areas with new CS grads + anyone who is a holdout etc has to be applying.

swift falcon
hollow flicker
#

Is there any main reason you're targeting java?

hollow flicker
swift falcon
#

cannot move outside of a 10 mile radius basically

obsidian crater
#

That's a big problem

#

Cause you live in a place with no tech jobs

#
  • remote jobs have insane competition
swift falcon
#

yeah, and they're in like one of the top 15 school districts for the state

hollow flicker
#

My manager at my internship said that a massive portion of people applying to their roles don't meet the basic qualifications so anecdotally it's true at smaller places. So like I don't think that reddit post is cap at all.

#

Like bootcampers apply to shit requiring an MS

#

Regularly

burnt orchid
#

lowkey i just be throwing my resume in even if it says masters degree or X years of experience hoping for something to happen at this point

swift falcon
#

I've got a 4th grader already so it would be cruel to take her away, she's already changed school districts 2 times 😦 (though she's basically naturalized at her current one)

hollow flicker
#

I did like 15 apps

burnt orchid

i did 20+ today

burnt orchid
#

started keeping track of them properly rather than applying and hopin for an email back

hollow flicker
swift falcon
#

I don't even bother tbh

hollow flicker
#

I still set and forget

swift falcon
#

I probably should, but all the ones I did are like auto-reject

#

I assume I'm not competitive enough

hollow flicker
#

You probably aren't

#

But you should

#

Look more

#

I legit always find more jobs than I expect

burnt orchid
#

how quick should u do an OA

hollow flicker
#

I use a combo of LinkedIn indeed Google and other shit

swift falcon
#

I always tell myself I'm going to apply to everything but never do xD

hollow flicker
#

All 3 places I've interviewed with in the last 4 weeks have been random googles

#

That literally came up while looking for other companies

swift falcon
#

hmmm

hollow flicker
#

And they're all 1 hr away from me or less

#

Just sayin

swift falcon
#

I should probably stop spiraling in linkedin too and branch out

hollow flicker
#

It's anecdotal tho

#

Use linked in and sort by new and go deep as fuck into the pages

#

Google names

#

I Google companies near me and literally look through the list/map

#

I just found a bunch of SWE jobs at local credit unions

burnt orchid
#

ive been using LinkedIn and Handshake for the most part, gotten 4 OA's in the past week or 2

hollow flicker
#

I just go to random cities and look

swift falcon
#

way back in march i was crawling across google map in my city and looking for medium - enterprise companies

hollow flicker
#

Keep doing that

#

Swear

#

It's something lol

hollow flicker
swift falcon
#

lol handshake is a joke for me

hollow flicker
#

Gonna do this one I just got on Wednesday cuz birthday is tomorrow

hollow flicker
#

But honestly I randomly think of places to look and sometimes they have swe roles near me. There are jobs around here at least

#

Like (I'll dox myself) Michigan State uni credit Union

#

Shit tc but I just want experience rn

#

This willow tree offer I'm still hopeful for coming back to me in 2024

swift falcon
hollow flicker
#

What does that even mean

#

Reddit lol

swift falcon
#

it was replying to a comment about someone mentoring a junior and that the junior had 4 offers in 2 weeks

hollow flicker
#

Reddit is filled with goofies

swift falcon
#

I heard a tiktok influencer former Hiring manager say "SEPTEMBER SURGE IS COMING"

#

so idk

#

career fair is in like a month basically

hollow flicker
#

I don't go on social media besides discord

#

So I'm just goin

#

I just go b

signal jewel
#

1000s of apps after just a few hours of app opening. is this normal? like it used to be like this in prev years. or it is oversaturated this time??

hollow flicker
#

For some jobs yeah idk

#

It felt less rough last year but still not great for me Mr mid resume

swift falcon
#

I've got to get sth built

#

honestly if I don't get this job I just replied to

#

I'm going back to grind and I'm just going to dive in and whip something together, fuck trying to learn it from the ground up lol

#

yeah

#

but a non-trivial one

hollow flicker
#

Good shit

swift falcon
#

even if I got the shit built and can say "in the process of trying to upload to apple app store etc."

#

i jus gotta fkkin dew it

hollow flicker
#

I'm doing my projects still and they aren't on the app store but they're getting big

#

And they def help me

#

Just gives a ton to talk about cuz I've probably spent 1000 hours at least on projects in the last year

#

Not focused the entire time but learning a fuck ton

swift falcon
#

damn

#

i've maybe got 100hrs kek

hollow flicker
#

I have no kids. I no lifed working on random shit since last September and I had an internship from Aug - Jan

#

That id be working at rn if not for meddling willow tree

#

If you need help on Android lemme know lolol

#

I can show you my mvvm setup for it lol

swift falcon
#

trying to get into apple watch tbh

hollow flicker
#

Nvm then go for it tho

#

I do wear os stuff

#

For android

swift falcon
#

I feel like trying to do android and ios atm is going to hold me back

hollow flicker
#

I have this big strength training app I'm building the back and front ends for. Maybe yeah

swift falcon
#

oh nice

hollow flicker
#

I spend 90% of my time since I got my offer delayed applying or leetcode

swift falcon
#

what is the back end like

hollow flicker
#

And auth is firebase

#

It's basically a very flexible training tracker

#

With graphing is the other thing cuz I made graphing components with gesture support

swift falcon
#

ah interesting

hollow flicker
#

They need a visual pass but they work ok for time based data sets

#

Or like data sets where x doesn't go all over

#

Lol although it probably works cuz it just draws paths and scales them idk I need to make more automated tests for that shit but it's kind of a final part of the whole thing so haven't touched it for awhile.

#

Android gesture API is rough as fuck lol

swift falcon
#

do you have your front end done?

hollow flicker
#

Mostly but I'm leetcoding

#

I originally wrote it without MVVM structure

#

So I'm actually rewriting it now

swift falcon
#

so when you started this whole project, what was your point of entry, like where did you begin it all?

hollow flicker
#

Because it became pretty shit

swift falcon
#

some advice I got was to design front end first

hollow flicker
#

Learn Jetpack Compose

#

Was my thing

#

And make a crud app

#

But since then I learned how to make APIs and more backend shit

#

But yeah I have the whole front end planned

#

Basically can write it and directly plug it into apis

#

Ez pz

#

It's just work

#

I have an extremely rigid structure I stick to for front end

#

Mvvm if you don't know it look it up

swift falcon
#

I have a vague idea

hollow flicker
#

Basically you have event classes, you have state classes, you have viewmodels

swift falcon
#

I did a mobile app in undergrad that was based on a tutorial using that

hollow flicker
#

Viewmodels push state down to the UI and the UI bubbles events up to the viewmodels

swift falcon
#

does that have libraries for it or did you come up with it from scratch?

hollow flicker
#

Viewmodels generally encapsulate something of some complexity, so some complicated components like a calendar could have a viewmodels of sorts and use events

#

Scratch it's simple

swift falcon
#

huh

hollow flicker
#

Just inherits the Android Viewmodel class but all the functionality is hand rolled

#

Would be happy to demo just dm

#

I've applied it to web apps too

swift falcon
#

yeah id be down to see it

hollow flicker
#

Cool we can do it one of these days

#

It really helped me start building

#

Now I just know how to tackle shit on this stuff it's soo much easier to add stuff

rain patio
#

@swift falcon are u using android or iOS

swift falcon
#

plan is to do ios

#

gonna buy a macbook

rain patio
#

MVVM is pretty intuitive in iOS, I typically build the frontend out and then once u need to input data u can design the models

swift falcon
#

so i can be a real ios apple dev

rain patio
#

Apple has decent docs covering the pattern

hollow flicker
#

Hell yeah shit rocks

rain patio
#

Only bad part is Xcode imo, make sure ur MacBook has enough RAM

swift falcon
#

lol

hollow flicker
swift falcon
rain patio
#

My laptop sounds like it’s gonna fry itself during builds

#

The simulator doesn’t even run sometimes sadge

#

jet engines: fshhhhhhhhhhhhhh
my laptop when I open a chrome tab: FSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

swift falcon
#

let me just spitball here: I need a watch app, a phone app and a website, so 2 of those are directly apple related and then the other one would be just some react or sum shit

rain patio
#

bacteria inside my laptop when i open a chrome tab:

#

U can technically use react native I think?

swift falcon
#

for all of that?

hollow flicker
#

I still haven't made a website not related to my internship and don't want to

hollow flicker
#

Not watch actually

#

Not watch

#

Don't know if RN would work on the watch?

rain patio
#

Oh wait not the watch

#

Yea ur right

hollow flicker
#

Yep I ran into that with WearOs

swift falcon
#

oh so I can create the app with react native?

hollow flicker
#

On android

swift falcon
#

like it's an actual app

rain patio
#

Yea the app is fine

hollow flicker
#

Yeah and interop probably

swift falcon
#

interesting

#

I wonder if I should just skip the web site

hollow flicker
#

Just leave it till later do what you WANT

#

Is imo very important

rain patio
#

ye just go hands on

#

Whatever happens happens

swift falcon
#

well if I could do what I want, it'd be a javafx app

hollow flicker
#

I really wanted to learn kotlin and Jetpack Compose because I thought it was a really cool UI framework conceptually

rain patio
#

I have done that before lol

swift falcon
#

but i've done 3 years of that and it hasn't helped

rain patio
#

Using Scenebuilder

swift falcon
#

so I need to buckle down and learn react/js/frontend web shit

hollow flicker
#

Jetpack Compose is the best UI framework

#

It's ok tho don't learn it

rain patio
#

I’m doing React + Tailwind rn

hollow flicker
#

I just despise html conceptually

swift falcon
#

everyone asks for react in my area

#

so i'm basically gonna do that tbh

hollow flicker
#

Good shit

swift falcon
#

with a smattering of angular

hollow flicker
#

Mvvm that up too

rain patio
#

Ye react, angular, u can even use vue/bootstrap

#

those r good to have

swift falcon
#

but i feel like if I learn one and apply with it, it transfers to the other or at least count for something

hollow flicker
#

All of em are easier to pick up after the last I feel

hollow flicker
#

I always get rejected for android roles that use non native

#

I get hit backs for android native

swift falcon
#

what is android native

hollow flicker
#

Jetpack Compose+ kotlin or kotlin + xml

#

Or java + xml

swift falcon
#

so not c++

hollow flicker
#

No not c++

#

Kotlin is the main

#

And it's the best lang

swift falcon
#

😬

hollow flicker
#

JK but I like it

swift falcon
#

so my undergrad was all java

hollow flicker
#

Beautiful syntax and fairly fast

#

Kotlin is a JVM lang

swift falcon
#

but I took mobile class right when android switched from java to kotlin

#

so my teacher was like fuck it watch some prof in berkley teach his class and follow along, I'm not rewriting the syllabus

hollow flicker
#

Epic

swift falcon
#

and that berkley proff got fired halfway through for partying with students

hollow flicker
#

Yeah kotlin imo is 10000x better than java in every way

#

Hahaha

swift falcon
#

so it was a trip trying to learn everything by myself, I ended up doing all the back end in java and the front end in kotlin

hollow flicker
#

Hell yeah well you got to it

swift falcon
#

but it's been like 4 years

hollow flicker
#

Kotlin is so great dud

#

Scope functions are sick

swift falcon
#

I mean I'd use it if it came with a job

hollow flicker
#

It did for me PepeHands PepeHands

#

I'm just a lost lamb now

#

Cuz I got delayed

swift falcon
#

this job I'm hoping to hear back from uses Scala, and I'd have to learn it

hollow flicker
#

Scala is sickkk

swift falcon
#

but I'd prefer Java over either kek

hollow flicker
#

Bro what is with you and java haha

#

Joking

hollow flicker
#

C# imo is better java I absolutely love C# too

ornate cliff

Soon brother
