I wonder how much better id get doing an hour of leet code a day from now until then?

I'm doing a few problems on leetcode most days until I have done all of them .

Most of the ones I have done so far are pretty pointless

Officially accepted the offer. I was prepared to accept less money to go to where I wanted, but luckily they turned me down. Onward and upward. These nikkas at my current job planned for me to work with a tool that they don't even support for a client.... Naaaah bruh, i'm out

It's tough. If you like black women only and you're looking for an engineer that's a 7 or above and ISN'T wifed already. It's gonna be tough. There's a bit more black women in other roles liek product owner, or scrum master tho. Still not a bunch.
I will say one thing about having a black women in tech as your significant other. It is very nice having someone who you can talk to who understands both your work and life difficulties.

The bolded sounds wonderful honestly. Even if she ain't in the same exact discipline I'm in, I would like for her to have an idea of what I'm doing and vice versa.

Interesting. I've actually be interested in black women that are not in the software industry. I'd actually prefer women that aren't engineers. Lawyers, nurses, and doctors are kind of what I was thinking of. Since engineering people are kind of socially weird, I figured 2 engineering parents might not be the best in case my child somehow winds up different than us.

I can see your point. I find myself torn between wanting a woman who is formidable and on my level, or a woman who just loves me and wants to stay home and raise my babies and pamper me after a long day of work

Brehs where should I start with studying DS&A? I'm ready to start applying for jobs. Please drop any links or resources.

I'd say hold off on DS & A but focus on React or whatever frontend framework. Once you get in the door, then you can really go harder with DS&A. I just feel that to get solid at DS&A to where you can actually get jobs based off of that will take months.

Understood. Thank you bro.

A couple of pages back either you or someone else asked the same question and I replied with all the good resources I used to get comfortable with such topics. You can go back and find that post.

Kind of a crazy question to ask, but what ya'll think is the next wave? Right now everything is web/A.I. and Javascript (basically anything with a web browser or an interface to the web is using Javascript). I'm trying to imagine what the next meta/interface is going to be (probably a trillion dollar question tbh).

web 3
interfacing with a block chain

GitHub and GitLab use it heavy so I don't think it'll go away.

yea I agree
but at one point it had the same status as node js

speaking of which I think that's gonna get left behind too

dynamically typed and single threading just won't cut it for an enterprise backend

what I think is the future of web dev:
next js withtypescript, golang, .Net core with react/vue

Agreed the way the market looks now you can have competitive skillset for years if you learn to use a few of those. All these new apps will be legacy apps eventually when the new cutting edge stuff becomes mainstream.

I'm going to have to be "forced" into Golang because I couldn't find the motivation to pick it up on my own .
