Well, AIM is now dead. SO don't worry about contacting me there, lol.

I'm highly interested in this.

I have gained a position as a QA Engineer at a local software company. I start Monday.

The issue is that I suck at whiteboard tests, which shouldn't even be a thing. The real world does'nt work like that: I don't have five people watching me code a feature I was tasked with. I understand it's supposed to "demonstrate" how I think things through. I fail because I have people ...

Internships are paid in this field, 90% of he time. My last one was.

I've been using my university's career center, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. Here's my resume: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0zLU ... y1TVWNpR1E

Shit just keeps getting worse for me. I'm not getting interviews for jobs in the CS field, not even for internships. I've had recruiters contact me only to find out that I am not qualified because I do not know a single piece of software (Selenium) that I could learn easily. My stepfather wants me o...

Think it would be good practice to solve it in multiple ways?

Thanks, Bounty. I figured out what happens to me: I don't sit down and plan out the code. I just start. I've been doing Code Wars to gain more experience and one problem had me transfixed when I thought I solved it. After thinking a while I realized I had to do more things. A function has to take in...

I've been doubting my coding skills a lot over the past few months and really don;t think I'll make it in the CS field. I can't even pass data structures. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Shit dude. Anything we can help with?

Nah. I'll make things work. Job prospects will open up when the summer semester starts. I can use my university to find another internship.

In the past few weeks, I broke up with my girlfriend, moved back in with my parents, totaled my car and now have no way to get around, quit my job after checking myself into a mental hospital. It's been really rough.

I've always had a hard time nailing exposure with an SLR. Any tips?

Love it!

Goddamn. There are literally no 3DSes to buy this holiday season. I missed the Black Friday special because supply was limited and scalpers grabbed them all, so I'm stuck getting the New Nintendo 3DS XL. None can be found for reasonable or original price. Bah!

On a related note, I saw Passengers today.

It was only okay.

Does the love story take precedent ir is it evenly handled with the sci-fi themes?

It's better than all of movies except ESB. It's more than "very ok".

No. Get a bigger TV.

Anyone here with an Xbone getting Battlefield 1? I want to play with some peeps.

I got it and like, it looks good, it plays well, the concept is half decent and executed well, but after an hour and a half I'm bored out of my skull. I wish I'd bought Disgaea 5 instead. Were you playing in a squad? Playing with people who are at higher ranks than you to make it more difficult? Di...

Get The Division, peeps. It's pretty damned fantastic.

Rant: WHy the hell does my school teach Java for two classes and then switch to C++ for data structures? It's difficult going from a newer language to an older. I'm getting the hang of OOP with C++ and classes, but it's difficult.

I willl say this: it feels like I am coding when I'm using C++.
