@yellow-dog This last thing on your comment was 🤩

@alexbrooklyn People usually laugh at this but I am using core PHP as my backend.

@alexbrooklyn Also, what about the credentials that has already been pushed to Github? Do I have to take down the whole repository or can I remove the earlier commits?

@alexbrooklyn I don't know how to do it. Could you please help?

@hashedram Just another Horcrux for the one who must not be named..

@ScribeOfGoD I have 8GB of RAM and 256GB disk space (with around 140GB free). I have an external hard drive of 1 TB that I am thinking of using as the Bootcamp drive. Do you still recommend VM?

@CptFox I'm referring to a video for that from '9 to 5 Mac' channel. It's fairly easy. Just need to download an iso file and install windows on the external drive using a tool, and then mount it as the bootcamp drive on Mac.

@ScribeOfGoD @CptFox Actually I have a subject this semester which requires me to use Turbo C for Graphics related work. Now the problem is that it is Windows specific. Is there an alternative (which is free) like using a virtual machine? What do you suggest would be better? I believe installing windows using bootcamp on an external drive would be better..

@ArtOfBBQ That's something different I've heard so far. Seems interesting. I started working on an American Sign Language interpretation model. I'll take it up after I finish this.

@ArtOfBBQ Good advice, but it's for the university summer project and I have to present it in September.

@BlackOrange Thank you. If you could share some resources on getting better at competitive programming then please share. :)

@ArtOfBBQ They are always 🤏🏼 close to fucking something up in the Production 😂 But thank you for this.

@IntrusionCM

Thank you for this. I have also written a LinkedIn post after reflecting on this for some more. Here's it, if you want to give it a try:

@ArtOfBBQ The only thing that pissed me off is that the "fellow programmers", who can't even write a program to print first 10 natural numbers and don't know a thing about could computing, used unfair means to get qualified, which is why the deserving ones (including me) didn't make it to the list. :)

@molaram Anything legit you mean, 'cause those guys did "anything" (Googling their questions on exam) to get what they wanted, and they did get it.

@molaram I try to be optimistic but sometimes it's too much to handle.. you know?

@SortOfTested I want to take my time and master the DS and Algorithms, and then apply at some product based company. But I'm not sure how to get started. I know nobody who could refer me, you know.

@dder At that payscale it's just exploitation lol

@dder I actually have some things to lose.. there's this thing about my University that if you get selected at an organisation offering X amount, then you can't participate in further interviews until some company is offering ≈ 2X amount. So, DXC is offering around $4800/annum, and I wouldn't be able to sit for a company offering let's say.. $8000/annum.

@dder I just got the email that I have been shortlisted for the interview with DXC Technology..

@dder Hi, thanks for the wise advice. I am currently attending their "pre-placement" talk and from what I read on online forums (Glassdoor, Quora), I have decided not to go further with the company.

It's mandatory for me to appear for the test, but clearing the test is still on me..

Though I would really like to know of your experience at DXC.

@SortOfTested I wish I could start off with a good tech company. I may sound like a pessimistic but I am being real here.. I am in a third world country and I wasn't taught anything trendy at my college. All I ever learnt was on my own (through online material). I am very average at data structures, and algorithms. I don't know how to implement most of the data structures in a program. I think I'll be unemployed for life.

@SortOfTested At first I didn't want to be recruited at DXC.. firstly because I never heard of it before, secondly they came into existence like 3 years ago.. and thirdly because they are offering $4800/yr CTC. Then I read about the company, and was told how the current situation is going to affect hiring and to settle for less if it guarantees a job is OKAY for now. I don't know what to do anymore. I am severely stressed right now.

@SomeNone Isn't that what newly graduates seek? Experience? Just so that they can land better jobs in the future? And moreover, it's one of the companies that are recruiting. More to come.

@SortOfTested That's how it goes sometimes.. my brother graduated in 2016 as a Mechanical Engineer. Got placed during the hiring but company never sent an offer letter.

@SortOfTested Yes but not on a very good package. I am in university.. final year. Companies are hiring but that does not guarantee an offer letter, you know.

What exactly are you trying to do?

@010001111 Oh yes I know someone just like that. Practically knows nothing about the Cloud. Has 2 Certifications from Amazon AWS, 1 from Microsoft Azure and 3 from Oracle in Cloud Computing.

The main reason I want to be certified is because I'm looking for a job (class of 2021) and it will aid me stand out a bit. Plus, I didn't pay for this Certification, it was free for a limited time.

@010001111 It says Oracle Cloud and not Oracle DB.. but yeah I feel your frustration. Oracle basically needs to fix everything, including Java.
