    What practical skills should every computer scientist know?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 06:08 PM PDT

    It's fairly clear that programmers are not computer scientists. But can every computer scientist work as a programmer?

    For example, a lot of my friends are programmers in industry. None of them have a CS degree, but are all pretty competent at their jobs and have a lot of knowledge about different languages, programming paradigms, data structures, some design, etc etc. They seem to have a vast knowledge of software development.

    Now, I am a CS graduate student coming from a math background. I can code pretty well in a couple languages. I can prove when an algorithm is correct and analyze its running time. I can implement algorithms I read in research papers and write most ML algorithms from scratch efficiently. But I've never made a web-app. Any kind of app. I know nothing about developing a piece of software from the ground up. I can implement the necessary algorithms, but I don't necessarily know how to fit them together to make a product.

    This is largely a function of my background. I did math before, only started coding because of statistics and machine learning, and went to graduate school to focus on that. But I am noticing that many of my peers are more "Well-rounded" than me in their technical skills. Many are excellent programmers and software developers, but are comparatively weaker on the mathematics (where I flourish).

    So: When someone graduates with an MS in CS, what is the bare minimum of "real life" skills do they need to know? What is the optimal intersection of CS skills and programmer skills?

    A Discord server for theoretical computer science?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:53 PM PDT

    Does anybody know a large discord server about Computer Science that's not CS Career Hacks or CS army? One that's more theory-centered.

    Developers' perception of unit test quality

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 07:40 AM PDT

    Hi r/compsci,

    I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Zurich and currently working on my bachelor thesis. Therefore, I am investigating developers' perception of unit test quality based on the feedback provided by developers in this survey and in interviews. I want to investigate what developer deem important in the assessment of unit test quality and how it may be assessed in practice.

    I would be very grateful if you have 5-10 min to fill out my survey, which can be found here: https://www.uzh.ch/zi/cl/umfragen/index.php/569126/

    By participating in the study you will have the chance to win a 100€ Amazon gift card, you may therefore leave your email at the end of the survey.

    Please note that the survey is anonymous and you can find a detailed data policy on the frontpage of the survey.

    If you have any questions regarding the survey or my thesis, you can contact me here on reddit or per email (listed on the frontpage of the survey).

    Thank you very much for your consideration and effort.

    Cristian

    EDIT: I really appreciate your participation and interest in the study and I am more than happy to follow up with the results.

    International Bioinformatics Org EC Opportunity

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 06:52 PM PDT

    Hi reddit,

    I'm currently part of an international organization (currently applying for nonprofit) called Helyx that distributes free bioinformatics education, works in research relating to biology/data analysis, and creates events relating to these topics. We currently have over 90 members with chapters in over 8 countries all over the world. If you're interested, you can become a chapter president or regional director simply by finding 1 chapter VP and 5 members to join you (doesn't have to be school-affiliated). We also work with sponsors/partners such as the Apollo Foundation and Spark Teen to create international events such as hackathons and create education opportunities for less fortunate kids. Please check out our website and join the discord if interested. Contact my email if you have any questions. Thanks!

    online resources?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 01:49 PM PDT

    I took web development classes at my university this semester because i felt i couldn't retain it if i learned it online, as i've tried before and i learned im a very hands-on learner and can't retain information that well - if at all - when i read it. We've wrapped up CSS and HTML and we were moving on to javascript when the virus hit and cancelled my on-campus learning. we've migrated to remote learning for the rest of the semester. We haven't learned ANY javascript yet (not even the pure basics, at all) so my question is this: what is the best online resource for learning javascript? i have a 100 in this class so far and if that changes because of this i'm going to be incredibly upset. i put my all into my classes and this just made it SO much harder. I hate the idea of studying coding on w3 schools and i need the information to be taught to me in an organized, orderly fashion and all i can find are what pretty much seem to be online textbooks. anyone who's self-taught: what did you use?
