Anonymous6o6:I didn't bother to attempt the C project yet. Although, I have created my git repo and installed Betty already. I focused my attention doing Shell, init files, variables, and expansions projects. Will probably try the C project after I must have done with today's projects. As for the command line, I was able to form detailed and comprehensive note that I do refer to from time to time. It takes grit!! It takes a growth mindset!! It takes the power of yet!!! It takes courage and determination to do "the hard things" and survive alx 4 Likes |

Hey guys Yesterday, I was looking forward to the weekend, only to realize it's just Tuesday This week has been a different hell, the level just went high! Omo advance shell no be beans oh If not for my peers, oh I seriously don't know what I would have done. I had help doing my projects and I dedicated today to full time studying, because I really wanna understand and be able to do things myself. While studying, I was feeling a bit down and I decided to check out David's video, Former student of ALX who got hired by Amazon. Just to motivate myself. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSjXz3DaUXk) That's the video if you want to check it out. It started with the talk about a guy name Charles from one of the previous cohort currently in Canada living his dream as a software engineer. He talked about how he was fully sponsored to Canada by the company that employed him. After which David came on stage. David who was hired by Amazon is currently in Kenya and would be traveling to London soon because he is starting on July. He actually graduated ALX SE program last year October (2021). David talked about the projects from alx helping him in his interview. Because he had a good understanding of the projects. Peer learning days(PLD) played a huge factor for one of the former students of ALX during his technical interview with a company. David talked about his peers who played a huge factor in helping him finish the program or he may have quit half way. After graduating the one year program, he was added to the "ROOM" and was exposed to many great opportunities. He got interviewed to two companies through the "ROOM" and got all the offers. Before he got Amazon offer, he already had an offer from a different company through the "ROOM" but he dropped the job offer because he found Amazon offer to be more beneficial. Through the ROOM, he got connected to great people, some who even help to review his CV. He said the interview was something he found very very easy that he even wow his interviewers and he got offered the job by the companies where he was interviewed. The first offer came quickly and before he could accept, another one (Amazon) came in which he found better and had to decline the others. David also explained that a project in the ALX curriculum was an actual test during his interviews in a company and he found it very easy. He had written an article about the project which was part of the task in ALX. David also talked about the Amazon interview process which had certain steps - Technical interview - Coding challenge - Soft skills He went further to explain that when you have been added to the "ROOM" and you're preparing for an interview, your pathfinder will help you with resources you need to ace the interview. One thing David also emphasized on was "ALX CURRICULUM" which made his interviews very easy. The curriculum combine with the projects would make you a great Software engineer if you are really dedicated. This video really helped me find myself, I'm so motivated that I will increase the pace of my studies. If you calculate the time David graduate and the time he got those offers, it seems almost impossible, but it wasn't impossible! Because we know the process is hell but the result will be sweet! I hope you're inspired today. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

When. I thought the worse couldn't happen, my shell project which I did yesterday wasn't scored. It had 26 stressing tasks which took time before I was able to them. But they weren't scored, I was so agitated and tired. I had to delete the directory and redo it all over again. Just finished doing with the task, my thumbs and arms hurts so much that I can't lift them. 1 Share

At first I get frustrated and wanted to give up, I met some cool guy's who made me remember GRIT. Thankfully I'm still not doing bad and not at the best. Omo Alx no be beans o I don't know how to go about the vagrant task, maybe my score would have been higher.

Re: My Software Engineering Journey In ALX Africa by andyboi4real(m): 4:44pm On Jul 01, 2022 |
I finally decided to dropout of Alx. I just didn’t have enough time to juggle doing Alx, learning JavaScript, completing my introduction to computer science course by Harvard and work. It’s been a nice experience though, I learnt a lot. Anybody has an Idea if Scores are transferable to subsequent cohort.
