im actually going through the head first: design pattern book and also an udemy course. Im still a college student
so idk how it would help at a job but the patterns are very helpful so far.

The most useful patterns I use are.

1. Factory Pattern
2. Singleton Pattern
3. Builder Pattern
4. Observable Pattern

Just spent ~$ today

I finished this today. Worth every penny. I also bought his Node JS course a few weeks ago but I'm going to continue brushing up on my vanilla JS some more with Colt Steele's JS bootcamp for now.

I do need to carve out more time for personal JS projects (I also need to carve out some time for non-professional learning so that I don't burn myself out).

Please brehs, learn and understand Design Pattern, Data Structures and algorithms and how to use them correctly :francis:

I work with a team of guys writing the most inefficient code full of repeating logic and unecessary loops. Mofos creating python lists for everything that is an iterable :snoop:

I spend 90% of my time fixing their shyt and the worst part is none of them seem to care to write clean, efficient, re-usable and easily maintanable code. To them if it "works" then its all that matters :scust:


Nothing worse than trying to fix someone's code who you can tell has no idea how OOP works and just creates classes and long ass methods AND then not use any of that correctly :hhh:




Some of these mofos have computer science degrees :francis:

Yup. There are books on Data Structures and Algorithms for a lot of languages specifically. Pick a language you like and look for the Data Structures & Algorithms book based on that language. READ IT. READ IT. LEARN IT. DO ALL THE EXERCISES IN IT. READ IT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED TO.

This is what will put you over the top in interviews for entry level positions for sure and make you a better over all programmer.

Wassup everybody, I got a question about software testing careers.

I've been studying manual testing for the past year and I'm ready to hit the job market.

However, I was told that with just manual testing skills, I wont be able to find a job unless I know some automation.

I was told that companies want employees to also have automation skills at handy,

if, or when, the software product goes through automation testing.

Can any of yall verify whether this is true or not?

Peace.
