$9600 rent per year how ? for 2 Bedroom

Sounds doubtful

sthGood:
Where did you apply to get your first gig(and the rest)?

I know Java and JS although would be learning angular soon.

I've read somewhere that you work with a foreigneras well.

Thanks

Learn React, there's more React job and Angular is verbose. Try multiple job boards and slack groups, there are some freelance , contract jobs you can get. It's not easy thought but working on the profile definetely helps.

@qtguru I read your diary entry. Do know that there’s no way to get your money out if PayPal blocks it. You can warm it up with little transactions $50 max, build up legit in-out over three months. Ire.

So it seems we can use Xoom to send to an ACH, meaning I can move my money to Wise, I will add it to a platform and see if it works. I have disabled every permission that will require my location.

Thanks I will be careful not to do too much with it.

And this is how we separate wheat from the chaff. You clearly know what to do. You don't seem to need studying. More like reminders.

You mention discrete mathematics a bit... It's clearly an important part of BE. Would you recommend programming as something anyone can learn? Or mostly people going with the client side, which seems relatively easier?

Frontend is easier but it's still needed but it will mostly be array operation you'd deal with alot, that and Map.

Here's a Discrete Math she explained it well

Qtguru how are you active on Nairaland, Twitter, other tech platforms, handling your jobs, learning new things and updating your diaries.

Seems you're a super super nerd

You forgot Grandmaster on CODM also,

I have multiple tabs and people working for me. Also I am naturally hardworking and create time for these things, I don't read much and new tech come to me easily, because I research before hand and watched video, it comes with experience.

BRATISLAVA:
That's a lot.



You must've encountered these at least once and thus you will know the solution without much stress when you come across them again, reducing your need to study.

Also are some of the cases of DSA above actually used in your programming life? It could be like some formulas had in mathematics that are never used, though they are studied.

And you keep all these in your head? That is, knowing they exist and how they could be used?

Yes actually it comes faster to mind, because I've studied however the likes of DP, and Graph is still complex for me, there is some discrete maths I haven't covered up

Alot of languages have them implemented internally but unless you're backend, so of the DSA you would use on FE would be Array

And you keep all these in your head? That is, knowing they exist and how they could be used?

No I don't, I usually jot the high level information and reference Algo materials when working on such in real life.

Don't buy into that myth that engineers know 100% of everything in their head. it's why we keep studying but our studying is not like beginner's level, sometimes some knowledge of Discrete math is required too, but it depends on your role and how far you want to advance.

BRATISLAVA:
None. I'm as green as they get. So you can see why I may need to study, but you shouldn't have to. You've been immersed in it for decades.

It's a lot like alot just Array alone has different Algo tied to it and there are tons of DSA and Algo, so it's something we study to remember and every job interview quizes you on this. Algo is not a done and dusted thing, it's something you have to practice to remember.

This is from ChatGPT the curriculum for DSA

BRATISLAVA:
Perhaps. But you know them much better than a lot of people do. Why would you still need to study them?

How many data structures are you familiar with ? it's not a personal attack, I'm trying to see your understanding.

BRATISLAVA:
But you're more grounded and you'll not let the entry levelers breathe if you keep studying!

Since you're senior, apart from updates which you already know the core about, why would you still want to continue studying your structures and algorithms? You've seen it all already! You know it all already!

As our elders in these matters, I'm going to trust you and airsaylongcome. Because the landscape changes so fast you have to keep up with it. But I still don't think you guys need to study that much, if at all.

You know Algorithm and Data Strucutures ?

BRATISLAVA:
You too, sir? But you're a mentor!

Do you want to get everything and leave nothing for the others? Why won't you rest for a bit?

The Senior you are, the more you need to know, especially when you want to apply.

BRATISLAVA:
You, sir, you still need to study? Red cap mentor.

Everybody studies, I'm still studying Algo and DSA at this age at my career and achievement.

Una go just the the give Una self headache.

U go soon port back

Our field requires Linux, I use it as my official OS along with Mac and Windows. I'm on Linux more

dadrenaline:
Good afternoon boss.

I got through to the jobberman event link you posted today, and I must acknowledge that the different sessions held were really enlightening.

I waited eagerly for your session, but unfortunately, you weren't given enough time to really explain your slides.

Sir, will it possible to send the slides via mail to me? Please.

Thank you for your insightful posts here on Nairaland. God bless you.

Can you do a little job for me I will pay you

Me sef am paying people to do my work, stress my brother but reach let me set you in the right path is it coding ?
