Free food isn’t enough I want my company to spoon feed me

steady crow
Literally lol

ye he right then
most people ain't doing that
ye but you can't blame em
mostly turn into monotonous work
civic shoal
I mean the best way to do something revolutionary is technically academia but
compact yew
you can def build your own shit
lmaooooo
ye that's what i am saying
bro 99% people just want to get paid
they don't igve af
civic shoal
i mean most blockchain innovation is being driven by academia
hallow scroll
"imma join a startup and make money!"
compact yew
about changing the world
civic shoal
Even the big companies partner with labs to do it
hallow scroll
satoshi
civic shoal
hmm that’s definitely innovation for crypto but there’s other uses for block chain with a lot of potential than just fintech

For example there’s papers now on using blockchain for voting in elections
compact yew
nah that won't work
hallow scroll
free food > impact
compact yew
For example there’s papers now on using blockchain for voting in elections
saw a vid on this like the other day
languid finch
For example there’s papers now on using blockchain for voting in elections
i had this idea too 
hallow scroll
100% of them lol
compact yew
electronic voting very very far away
hallow scroll
no interns got reneged only FT employees
compact yew
@hallow scroll too goated
languid finch
Tom Scott says its a bad idea so no
compact yew
to get reneged
hallow scroll
💯
compact yew
Tom Scott says its a bad idea so no
i mean he makes a good point
hallow scroll
yeah
yeah idc about return offer just doing it to get resume value
nope
pan moment
civic shoal
electronic voting very very far away
Definitely but the most promising solution for it is blockchain but you gotta remember most research papers come out decades before the practical implementations for them
languid finch
pan still has his return offer from CB
compact yew
ye that's what i am saying far far away
languid finch
at least he did last week
compact yew
if they called this last election rigged
languid finch
maybe he lost it this week
hallow scroll
yeah intern return offers to full time didnt get reneged
compact yew
what do you think will happen when you introduce blockchain
civic shoal
like there’s still a bunch of security flaws that need to be addressed

"imma join a startup and make money!"
Bro my friend worked at slack before it IPOd, bro made millions off of stock alone. Bought his entire house cash
hallow scroll
when the rescinding happened the full timers who were interns last year were safe
languid finch
this is why we need weekly updates from Pan
"do i still have the return offer"
could be a website tbh
civic shoal
For example very easy to hijack an election by just getting more processing power as a foreign country, but the papers address that too
hallow scroll
Bro my friend worked at slack before it IPOd, bro made millions off of stock alo...
ipo money is crazy
joining slack too late
languid finch
also my shopify recruiter is now "open to work"

@hallow scroll did you get your amazon final scheduled email ?
civic shoal
depends on the work
hallow scroll
my cb internship is from end of august to end of december and if I do a winter internship I would start january, I get no break

nope

I find HCI pretty interesting but would never touch machine learning because I’m not smart enough for it
hallow scroll
I think everyone who passed oa this week and got the final has not been scheduled yet
civic shoal
And I’m doing HCI research rn
they can’t write production ready code but they can definitely write algorithms we can’t even dream of
compact yew
I find HCI pretty interesting but would never touch machine learning because I’m...
shouldn't limit yourself brotha
hallow scroll
I respect the researchers and scientist
civic shoal
I mean I just like design more than algorithms which is why HCI is fun
hallow scroll
theyre for sure having more impact then the average soulless swe
civic shoal
I mean all the cool things people talk about in tech like
languid finch
"explaining the concave-dense algorithm using a modified method of Frobenius (as a millionaire)" - TechLead
hallow scroll
at least theyre exploring the possibilities of technology while im gonna be changing button colors for the rest of my life
compact yew
you have very weird perceptions of what is useful
civic shoal
The HoloLens or even arm processors in macs
Were designed by the research labs from big tech companies that hire professors
compact yew
bro you learn through mistakes
civic shoal
i mean the same applies to swes
compact yew
Like even the Einsteins of the world
civic shoal
Not everyone is doing work that changes lives and not everyone’s working at faang
compact yew
learned from scientists who failed
civic shoal
depends on the phd program you get into too
compact yew
not really
heavy magnet
if that were true we'd be in the stone age still
compact yew
everyone who tries does something impactful
compact yew
And the people who eventually make the innocation
civic shoal
there’s alot of luck involved with everything
compact yew
did so by not making the same mistakes as others
heavy magnet
yee thats what i was going for haha
compact yew
if @woven quest thinks about fellow programmers like this, imagine what he thinks about the average Joe
heavy magnet
but i feel like there are a lot of oppurtunities to "contribute" with computer scinece
everyone wants something brand new
related to tech

i mean everyone wants to be a programmer now my Uber driver today asked me how to get into SWE because he heard about the money

rugged knoll
ya'll talk to your Uber drivers?

i sent him a link to this server and told him he doesn’t need any experience he’s guaranteed a faang job and he quit doing Ubers immediately
languid finch
i sent him a link to this server and told him he doesn’t need any experience he’...
so did he drop you off at your destination before he quit?
civic shoal
no I’m actually currently stranded
languid finch
dont worry im sure when he hears about having to practice leetcode he will go back to ubers
civic shoal
leetcode makes me wanna switch to Ubers
rugged knoll
heavy magnet
where u see that
civic shoal
Leetcode is fun when I don’t have to do 200 problems in a matter of weeks for a job interview
languid finch
i quit doing leetcode altogether and my quality of life has drastically improved, i even touched grass for the first time today
queen plover
i did it
somewhere between neat and messy
tue
it took 1 business day for them to reply
i personally didn't schedule it right away
because i have to work lol

queen plover

civic shoal
Lmao yeah to each his own
languid finch
im securing a return offer very soon. cant wait to ditch school and ditch internship hunting and ditch leetcode
civic shoal
Yeah I’ll still keep up for practices sake but like
It’ll be more like I’ll do a problem every other week or something
languid finch
are u not a grown-up?
languid finch
we've had high schoolers join this discord before
so like
my question was not entirely unreasonable
civic shoal
that’s wild man I barely studied in hs
There’s kids out here doing leetcode senior year
I mean definitely but you can still start doing it as a freshman and get a decent internship

i got to phone interview, they sent me a like for coderpad and said be prepared for a technical interview. When the interview started the interviewer said disregarded the coderpad as we wont code. Then processed to only ask brainteasers. so weird
