    How to answer "Tell me about yourself" in an interview call

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:22 AM PST

    So I recently got a call from a company for which I had applied for a React.js intern position and the person after exchanging greetings asked me "Okay tell me about yourself". I didnt really know how to respond other than - just telling my name, where I live and telling I mainly work with React.js and thats it - I went blank . It was my first time actually getting a call from a company and I don't think it was impressive.

    Does anyone have any ideas or good tips on how I should respond to such a question (assuming that the person asking has already taken a look at your Resume) ??

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT 1: Goddamn it people of Reddit, you guys are providing such great pointers that I had no idea even existed. I am definitely gonna write down some of these in my notebook for my next interview. Huge thanks to all - Keep'em coming !

    I did it guys!

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:03 AM PST

    In this sub are so many people, who want to change there job and so many storys of people who made it, so i thought i write my own story here. Sorry for my english btw.

    I always wanted to work as a programmer and today I made a big step for my hopefully new job.

    I am currently working as a network engineer. But in my company that means you mostly do first and second level suppport. That's soooo fucking boring. 95% of the time you don't have to use your brain. Most of the time people just delete the internet and you have to put the wifi cable back in the computer. At the end it made me sick, so I decided to try something.

    So after struggling very long and not knowing what to do... today I asked my boss, if i could work in another team as a programmer. He was totally fine with it and wants to help me changing teams asap. I thnik he was more afraid, that i leave the company, so it was nice for him, that i just want to change teams. But i'm so happy right now.

    Overall i'm still a bit afraid. I had many programming courses in college, but i never did a real project. I understand basics of programming and databases and i'm able to write simple things. I really hope thats enough for the first part.

    Wish me luck guys!

    How do I get past life for programming?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 06:24 PM PST

    Here's the problem: there is so much going on in the world. You must be kept up to date on the news. You should have an interesting hobby. You should know history, literature, music, have a love for just about everything. But then there's this pesky thing at your ankles pulling at your pant leg asking for constant love, programming. There is so much to know and learn about programming. Within that, depending on your field, you also need to know statistics.

    Why do I feel like you basically can't have an interest besides programming and math to become a god at programming? I feel like I'm a chump at everything because I find everything interesting and don't invest enough time into it, and will never find good pay because of it.

    Programming Basics tutorials: C# for beginners

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:46 PM PST

    Hi all, I have shared this in one of the reddit group sometime back and got a very good response, sharing it here because it will be very helpful for beginners.

    I got a new job with c# as one of the tech stacks and was researching for some good c# resources since I had coding experience in other languages. I see the contents are not curated for beginners on c# which is a painful journey for aspiring c# developers.

    So I have created some content from scratch, after creating the video I thought of monetizing it but again I wouldn't be doing a great thing as it would not help the beginners anyway. So, I have decided to give away this course for 100% free and at no cost.

    All the basics like creating variables, printing on the console, loops, and taking user input and oops concepts have been added to the content so far.

    With a vision to also help the community in whatever possible way I can, I will create more content with in-depth knowledge and 100% free. Feel free to message me if any help is needed in the journey of learning c# we are going to walk together.

    Looking forward for the feedback 🙏

    What are free and complete resources that people should take instead of doing a bootcamp?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 07:29 PM PST

    I am talking about things like The Odin Project, FullStack Open, or FreeCodeCamp, complete, structured, project based, all in one hubs for the content. Where a person could go from no experience to job ready.

    I am trying to evaluate them for a friend and compile a list for others. Any help is appreciated!

    How to get good at making browser extensions? (resources, advice, etc?)

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 04:39 PM PST

    I have a bit of a experience with programming from college (been through data structures), but really my interest lay in web dev and specifically browser extensions. I'm kinda newbie at web dev in general, but have been through Freecodecamp's html/css/javascript courses, so not totally unfamiliar.

    I'm looking through the github source code of some of the extensions I like and it all seems so complicated. I understand the individual bits of syntax (i.e. I can recognize anonymous functions, spread operators, proxies, etc), but it's confusing how it all works together.

    Does anyone have any resources, advice, etc in getting better at making browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox?

    Nursing degree + coding boot camp = job prospects?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:47 PM PST

    Would having another Bachelors (and/or Masters) in another field help with getting your foot in the door in software development (with of course learning on your own/boot camp, a few projects, etc.)

    Basically wondering if including your previous degrees in other fields in your resume would benefit in anyway for a self-taught programmer during the job hunt...

    [Java] converting an int to a string error

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 06:58 PM PST

    Here's my code. It finds duplicates in an array of integers and returns which are dupes in a string:

    public static String duplicate(int[] numbers){ Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>(); for(int i : numbers){ if(!map.containsKey(i)){ map.put(i, 1); } else{ map.put(i, map.get(i) + 1); } } String result = ""; for(int x : map.keySet()){ if(map.get(x) > 1){ String fragment = x.toString(); result += fragment; } } return result; } 

    Getting error with my "result += fragment" line.

    error: int cannot be dereferenced 

    Googling tells me it has something to do with primitives...but zero clue what that even means.

    Update: Ended up using 'StringBuilder' instead of String and it worked with toString() method. No clue why.

    [C++][Python] Minesweeper AI, Trouble Translating Program To C++

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:31 PM PST

    Hey, I am having trouble translating a minesweeper AI program from Python to C++. I have implemented all of the methods, however the C++ version performs significantly worse than the Python version in terms of Win/Loss ratio.

    I have removed the inference section from the Python version since I was having trouble getting it to work in the C++ version.

    The C++ Version has a W/L ratio of about 30/70 while the Python version is more like 50/50 without the inference.

    I have tested both of the versions and they seem to have a similar amount of losses on the first turn due to randomly picking the first square, however the "knowledge" of the C++ version tends to be larger than the python version when it loses and i'm not sure if that contributes to the problem.

    Code
    (Python) https://pastebin.com/Uv4P7Vfp
    (C++) https://pastebin.com/jE5ht6zC

    I have left the header files out of the c++ version to make it shorter.

    I haven't included a small program that can be run because I have no idea where the problem would be.

    Do programmers need to know everything?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:28 AM PST

    Hii. I am really struggling with learning to code. Whenever I try to sit to do some coding all by myself. I feel this friction that I do not have any knowledge regarding it even though I am familiar with the concepts. It wears my confidence down and I feel left out.

    Whenever I try to watch some tutorials on Youtube. I feel more discouraged as I see other people having so much knowledge.

    I feel like I am in an endless cycle of not having the knowledge completely despite of so many efforts I make.

    how to make a web scraper?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:06 PM PST

    for this website https://www.ncaagamesim.com/college-basketball-predictions.asp I am wanting to get the average margin/odds number on the left, and subtract/add it to the average margin number on the right. The info is all stored in a <tbody> with <tr> rows, so I would want to get the numbers for each row and then put the result in something like a spreadsheet. I've never made a web scraper before so I'm not sure where to start, any advice would be great!

    Hyperlegible Monospace Fonts

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 07:39 PM PST

    I'm fairly new to programming! I've been driving into arch linux and found it both extremely challenging and rewarding. I run ubuntu as my daily driver, but that might change if i get comfortable enough with arch.

    I've started taking classes in community college and I'm discovering rather quickly that is really hard to find a monospace font that is easy for me to read. I especially have trouble with these characters:

    : and ;

    O and 0

    • and =

    I definitely need glasses but to be honest, I don't even have thirty bucks to my name. for now, if I can find a font that isn't frustrating to work with, it would be wonderful.

    I discovered a font called "Atkinson Hyperlegible" but as far as I can tell, it doesn't have a monospace variant.

    any and all tips appreciated. I'd also like to add that I prefer a better font, rather than increasing the font size, because I want thing as to still fit on my screen at least.

    How does serverless (like google app engine) handle multiple calls that need to process?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:37 PM PST

    I wrote a backtracking algorithm that i optimized so that it usually runs quickly, but there is a chance it doesnt. In the event it doesnt, it can take quite awhile to run.

    How will something like google app engine with fastapi handle this when I could have 100 people making requests to be processed and a few of those are going to take awhile to run?

    Returning/Continuing to control the flow of a function or writing code in a way that avoids having to use those, even if it means more nesting or longer conditional statements, which is considered better coding practice?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:26 PM PST

    public void SomeFunction() { if (something == null) return; if (something.Length < 5) return; //rest of the function . . . . } 

    OR

    public void SomeFunction() { if (something != null && something.Length >= 5) { //rest of the function . . . . } } 

    Which is considered better coding practice? I've always done the second one, but have recently been watching an intermediate Unity tutorial series and the instructor always does the first one. I remember my first coding instructor saying to never use returns or continues for general flow control and instead to think of more clever ways to get around it, like version 2, but since this Unity instructor does presumably have more experience than me and was teaching an intermediate course vs the beginner course the other instructor was teaching, I wanted to make sure I haven't been doing it the wrong way this whole time.

    New language to test for an interview day

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:15 PM PST

    I've been accepted into an interview day where, to test applicants, we will be taught a fairly unknown and niche language in small groups for half a day. In the second half, we will be required to complete katas with the language and then take part in a stand up and explain things you have enjoyed and learnt. I know the company use a number of different stacks such as ruby/RoR, c#/.net, python ect. All of which will not be the language taught on the interview.

    As someone who's main language is Python I've had very limited experience working with more complex languages such as C# and C.

    If anyone has any advice on what I should prepare for and research to take on a new language quickly or any other tips if you have experienced a similar style of day?

    [Python] I'm having trouble with understanding the logic behind appending items to nested lists.

    Posted: 12 Jan 2021 10:30 PM PST

    I'm somewhat new to Python, so apologies if this is a noob question or anything like that.

    Revisions · Debugging Help (github.com)

    ^ Link to GitHub, where I have both the working and the faulty code on display.

    What happened:

    I encountered a problem with my code while trying to append a set of numbers inside a nested list. The main list is supposed to represent a multiplication table, and each of the lists inside that list were the rows in the table.

    For starters, I wanted to make the user input what the highest number in the table would be in order to represent both the columns and rows of the table. If it was a number like 3, the program would append 3 empty lists into the main list. Then, the program would append the numbers 1, 2, 3 to the top row of the table, or table[0].

    This is where the problem occurs. When I ran the program, instead of inputting 3 and getting the expected :

    [[1, 2, 3], [], []]

    I got:

    [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]

    I got it to work after some trial and error, and found that the problem stemmed from the part of the program that appended empty lists to the table. When I just set the table's values as:

    [[], [], []]

    and ran the program as normal, I got the expected output of:

    [[1, 2, 3], [], []].

    Now I'm super confused. I don't understand what makes the computer do this when the part of the program that appends a number of empty lists to the table should do virtually the same thing as me setting the value of the table to those empty lists.

    And I don't know/understand why the program does this. I explicitly told the program to append the numbers only to the first row of the table. Could anyone please enlighten me as to why it appends the numbers to the other rows as well?
