Third yearCS students are getting passed over for people with non CS degrees. The bubble burst after Facebook.

>tfw no large nerd bf to shove cheeto dust covered fingers up your ass

The picture on the left is shopped, Richard Stallman is not that fat and doesn’t wear those clothes.

>install a Linux GNU to learn how to code in C like this alpha male on the left.

I run Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on my main pc and Debian 8.4 jessie on my home server.
And work as a System Administrator.

good b8, made me respond.

>not building your own gnu/linux kernel for max freedom

Literal faggots
Install Gentoo

Stallman hates Gentoo, you should know that.

>Implying I'm not about to start the 3rd year of my Software engineer major

Being a swole smart tall (though average in the Netherlands) guy is the best.

gentoo is a /g/ meme, senpai

Install GnuSense

> C
If I'm going to be a raging faggot, I might as well look good while taking it up the ass.

Go back to that IDE or text editor and end your project.

Procrastination is no good.

But I have no project that can be worked on right now. I've already finished the latest sprint for my only group project.

I use gentoo and know C

how do you feel about being fat, gay and ugly

>I run Ubuntu
Kill yourself. I don't understand how you could possibly think using ubuntu makes you cool.

he said Install GNU+Linux, I stated that I run Ubuntu, which is GNU+Linux.

I never said it was cool, you are just reading too far into it.

Why not be both a coder and a fit dude? Coding doesn't take very long at all, you could learn it in between sets or reps.

>Do fizzbuzz
>every error returned is a new set of reps

I tried learning python and didnt make it past page 5

>implying i don't lift and use gnu/linux
>not mastering every field you can

But I'm not fat and ugly m80

I know how to code you faggot

He has a point tho

wanna be gay together bby :^)

I learned Python in the tenth grade in a comp science class. Real easy stuff senpai. Literally anyone can pick it up

There's a difference between being able to code and being able to code proper, logical, bug-free, unit tested, non-happy route exclusive, extensible and readable programs.

Lmao your usual "learning to code" nowadays means fuck all. Your little "hello world" and sorting algorithms can be trained from pajeets for L I T E R A L L Y a fraction of your wage. If you go to school to be a code monkey without knowing any of the theory then you're as replaceable as a cuck in the machine.
Numerical/quantitative skills are much more valuable than knowing how to code like an autist.

this is exactly the reason why I'm majoring in math and not falling for the CS meme

>2016
>not making six figures in information security

Except CS is the place where you learn the skills you need.

uh

CS coursework doesn't teach code monkey stuff aside from an entry course or two

The overwhelming majority of the coursework is theoretical and mathematical

Lol...

>CSfag think he does anything that remotely resembles upper division maths
Kill yourself fagmilia

>thinking you need any of that in programming

Nice deflection, idiot.
>m-muh discrete maths is mathematical enough
That's why you're going to be replaced by pajeets lmao.

I'm CS/Math double major

Top level math courses (analysis systems etc) are basically just less applicable version of top level cs courses

Have fun writing proofs you worthless algebraist

>still coding in C
This is like faggots squatting high bar because it's harder than low bar

I hope your leet math skills will help you with the 95% of coding that has nothing to do with math and the 0.05% that has nothing to do with math that isn't covered in CS.

>"analysis systems"
>implying analysis is upper level
>implying topology, measure theory, differential geometry are "less applied comp sci courses"
>thinks proofs are useless even though people smarter than him uses it everyday to make new codes and show that the code he uses terminates
It's painfully obvious that you have no idea what upper level math classes are like. Typical CSfag delusions of grandeur

Rofl my roommate is a software engineering sr and shes a moron.

>she
found the problem lad

>she
Women can't code.
Women can't do anything.

>5555

Where did the 4.95% go? Lmao isn't it sad that you can code like the average monkey and yet can't even do elementary arithmetic?

Analysis (real or complex) and systems (dynamic) you fucking mong

topology is literally just a useless version of architecture/org, measure theory is obviously not top level, and differential geometry is hardly ever applicable

>proofs are used to make new codes but algorithm optimization is somehow useless
???

oh thank goodness you wrote an obtuse proof to tell me what a machine could have in fractions of a second

done replying, bait's weak

final note: software engineering is the degree you're looking to mock, not computer science

>reading comprehension

IT is the most over-saturated job market in 2016

This

because coding is for pajeets and beta males

Pls be trolling...

>doesn't know how to use commas
>blames other people for misinterpreting
What an dumbfuck.

>topology is just a useless version of architechture
>implying classifying homotopy groups is architechture
>implying smooth deformations are related to architechture at all
>implying you know what the fuck you're talking about
Holy shit you're fucking retarded lmao.

>measure theory isn't upper level
It's literally the course you take after analysis fucking idiot.

>diff geo is useless
>implying it being literally the back bone of general relativity is useless
>implying it being used in the construction of GPS is useless
Lmao fucking dumbass.

>more strawman
>more nonsequitur
What a massive retard. I hope life takes it easy on you in the future because you won't get very far with that barely functioning head of yours.

Desperate mathfag justification pls go

Good heavens would you look at the time

Make way for the real king of games faggot

...

You are both failures

ah nice to find other polymaths around.

>implying i dont know know this
yes, 10th grade was a foundation and i went from there, in 11th and 12th, do you really think i dropped it after 10th? fucking nigger logic.

Please explain someone.

t. Failure
Watch how the actual king of games does it

It's just people who have been here way too long

Yea sure but what about this "5"

Stop

No

i d o n ' t g e t 5

Let me show you how the REAL king of games does things

Weak

All these weak ass gets

I have come

BS. I could fill up a bathtub with all the job offers I'm getting. Have a nice-looking resume, at least a B.Sc. (preferrably M.Sc.), a well-rounded, filled-out github account and friends in open-source communities (which will translate into friends in companies) and don't be autistic, and you will swim in job offers.

Not all of them are quality offers, of course, and it depends on country. But there is no way to be jobless if you can at least do either webdev or mobile dev, unless you're a full-on autist. The stream of people who want an app or a shitty online store is neverending.

Titties

Titties?

Pathetic.

so close and yet so far

>one off

I've been wanting to start contributing on github but I wouldn't know where to start. Do you have any advice?

5's are banned from this thread

If you have already done some amount of projects on your own, start there. Just doing some stuff at your own pace is easier at first than collaborating with others, which has lots of additional challenges.

Otherwise, just pick any piece of software you are currently using which is written in a language you feel comfortable with, and start fixing bugs that personally annoy you. Before you know it, you'll be knee-deep in the project, improving architecture and whatnot.

There are also a bunch of projects that are known to be especially friendly to newcomers, like the dolphin project. Some of the stuff in dolphin can be pretty advanced though (since it's an emulator, which is a pretty complex thing)

You can also start collaborating on some games. 48-hour gamejams are a great format for that. Find some locally-held gamejams in your area and participate.

Is github a common subject in job interviews or conversations leading up to them without you bringing it up?

I'll just settle for dubs

Sure.

Many companies will ask for your github et al, the ones that don't will likely have already looked for it and found it on their own. I know when I interview anybody (which doesn't happen that often, but occasionally), I always look at their GH and see what kind of contributions they've made to other projects, what their language-spread is like et cetera, especially if it's for some kind of thing where I need "all-rounder" people who can effectively fix an issue at any level of the system.

These days I just have it on my CV, linked at the bottom, together with some other stuff (personal website/blog, bitbucket, portfolio etc)

Good to know, I'll be sure to get started then.

Thanks for the replies!

Don't forget to lift

Never.

We're all gonna make it

kek

I want into comp sci too can you give me some tips to get started?

what's your background, where are you now

Where do you live user? Have any more tips? I've got a BS in Marketing, but I'm taking a full-stack web development bootcamp. How could I sell myself and get some kind of web dev internship? I'd like to try to get some kind of experience while I'm still doing my bootcamp.

Im a sophomore in dietetics, redpilled to death that nutrition is a fucking mess of a science.
Ive had applied maths so i know a bit of matrixes, integrals and differential calc, but that was a year ago, kinda forgot it now.
Cs looks to be much better than nutrition in the long run and i like computers / coding so why not.

I've been moving around between Germany, Norway and Sweden the past few years.

Having a B.Sc. in marketing is nice. You can (and should) market yourself as "also being able to deal with customers" or "being able to help with the marketing perspective" etc.

I'm much more on the technical end of things (I do numerical analysis, DIP/signal processing, data analysis/visualization/statistics and such), so I don't genuinely know what the situation is like for people in your area, but most every single startup I've worked for really was in dire need of more and better marketing. So I would think that makes you pretty valuable, and you should probably flaunt that.

Other than that, I can only really give the generic kind of advice I already gave here -- do projects, contribute to other projects. It's how I got into things, and most everyone I know who's working with programming or IT in general got into it that way.

I have the feeling that web in particular has a lot of technology churnover, with tons of new frameworks and fads emerging and fading all the time. It may be wise to spend some time to figure out what kind of core-technologies you want to invest your time into. Popular languages, popular frameworks, popular databases, etc

Being able to put the newest buzzwords on your cv is nice and will probably increase your chances to get a job with the (clueless) HR people, but I think the real time-investment should happen into lasting tech that will stick around for a long time. That kind of investment will be valuable even a long time from now, and is really the main thing that matters once you got past the HR people and into an interview with the tech lead or whatever (e.g. me.)

For web, that might be stuff like knowing pgsql and other popular SQL dbs, knowing the popular JS frameworks, that kind of stuff. Again though, while I have done some web stuff, it's not really what I know most about, so you'll have to do a bit of research on your own.

Sounds good, if you already have some applied maths, that'll put you substantially ahead of many other programmers. As mentioned before, start to do projects, your own is easiest at first, IMO, then start contributing to others. Cultivate your github. You'll probably find a bit of a niche you enjoy sooner or later, then work towards mastering it and market yourself as that.

A CS degree can be worth a lot, but it is not required if you can prove otherwise that you're a hotshot. Can't make a for/against recommendation, as it depends on in which country you are. If education is free in your country, I'd probably say "go for it", unless you're in a fucking hurry to start making money, even at a lower entry-level.
