  • Search for [insert year] 'software engineering automation', or something similar.
  • Another option: search for recent automation papers. Look up their references.
this is what i have been doing but most of the searches i have found its just a load of

I did the Revature training and the training was good, but rushed and disorganized. I'd recommend it if, like myself, you want to get a foot in and are having trouble finding dev jobs. Definitely a last resort thing as others have said. I did it simply to get the "free" training and didn't worry too much about the two year committment because the $50-55k was a bit more than I would make doing tech support.

I was able to get out of the contract after complaining about not being placed on a job after training, so I got free training and was able to find a job on my own soon after my release.

I appreciate the insight. What did they train you in (technologies)?

What's good brehs? Been a min since I've posted, but I need help if anyone can give it. I interviewed for an IT manager position (the position involves no coding :francis:) & for the 2nd interview, they want me to do a web app. I went thru a bunch of tutorials and tried to get things rolling, but I haven't coded since school & I fukking suck now. I don't believe it would take too long to do, but does need to be done by Monday afternoon. Would anyone be able to look out for me? If so, please hit my PM & we could discuss the project in more detail

Hopped on leetcode to try some of the "easy" coding problems, and mannnnnnn I was struggling hard:sadcam:

What do yall do to get better at these?

Do 3-5 a day, write the psuedo code for it and try to iimplement around i, and remember the capability of the coding languages you use. Something done in Python could be done in 1 line versus 6 in JavaScript. speaking of JavaScript, do it on hackerrank for your good.

any point in learning go? I love that you can just compile it into different binaries and not have to worry about runtimes as much (python deployments :francis:)
but no generics?:usure: C# got me lazy i'm not trying to re-write all these functions myself

If you're trying to become an SRE, a lot of companies are looking for it.
