Will a data science certificate help me? /u/Fresh421 CSCQ protests reddit

Will a data science certificate help me? /u/Fresh421 CSCQ protests reddit

Currently I am getting a computer science bachelors with an emphasis in machine learning. My university offers a data science certificate and I only needed one more class to get it. Will this help me at all in the data science/machine learning field? I want to take the class anyway to help with my skills but I am just curious if this will just be a point on my resume that gets ignored. Any help would be appreciated.

Are there any actually useful metrics for developer performance? /u/Whitey138 CSCQ protests reddit

Are there any actually useful metrics for developer performance? /u/Whitey138 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m a developer for a VERY large non-tech company (you’ve heard of them and might even know the CEO by name). In a recent team meeting, my manager let us know that the higher-ups have a metric that they use to see our “performance,” however I am told that they don’t ACTUALLY judge us on it when it comes time for a review, they just like to look at it (a lot of the wording seemed fishy). The metric is number of commits. I don’t agree with this and don’t feel like it is a useful window into how effective we are at our job. The person at the top of the list for our team is constantly pushing junk, then fixing small things in that initial commit one by one. He also is responsible for making config changes, which are often done almost blindly: commit a change, deploy, fails, commit another change, etc. until it MAYBE works. I, on the other hand, am the opposite where I have MASSIVE commits. I am aware that the way I’m doing it is not ideal and I can change how I approach commits (since I was towards the bottom of the list) however it makes me wonder if there is a better metric that is actually useful for measuring developer performance. Every one I can come up with has massive drawbacks.

Here are some metrics I can think of and my concerns with them:

Lines of code – Great way to get massively unmaintainable garbage (my team recently inherited a bunch of code from another team and it seems like this is what they were shooting for; think 3000 line JS files with 200 line functions that barely even work and are terrible to debug).

Number of commits – Tons of useless commits that don’t do anything making looking at a commit history a nightmare and making the history of our repos take forever to load in browser.

Number of tickets closed – This will mean nobody will want to take on larger tickets since they can get more manager brownie points by doing a lot of small tasks.

Number of story points – This will most likely (and I’ve seen it happen in the past) lead to story point inflation. Everything that was 2 points is now 3 and everyone is tripling their capacity. Pointing then becomes irrelevant (if it wasn’t already, but that’s a different discussion).

Number of bugs fixed – Similar to the classic story of writing system.sleep(10) then removing it later to speed up the system; writing a bunch of bugs intentionally just to remove them one someone finds them. I have had the lowest number of bug fixes because I thoroughly test my work before handing it off to anyone.

I am aware of the saying “Once a metric becomes a target it ceases to be a good metric” and I agree but I’m curious if there are any that do a “pretty good job” without being completely useless or game-able. Does anyone have any actually useful metrics that have worked for you? Am I completely out of line in my thinking? And no, I’m not quitting my job (finding a new one right now scares the crap out of me).

I keep getting messages to speak about tailwind. Is this a scam? /u/Dreadsin CSCQ protests reddit

I’m a frontend engineer and I do know tailwind pretty well. I have a LinkedIn that says that pretty obviously too. I’ve never spoken at any sort of conference. It’s from a place called “knowledge academy”

I’m wondering if this is some sort of scam. I don’t know why they’d not be able to find someone to speak on tailwind

Has anyone been getting similar messages?

I recently graduated with my masters in data science, but I am unsure if I want a data science job. /u/VelvetRevolver_ CSCQ protests reddit

Some background, I have a bachelor’s in computer science with about 2 years of experience as a software engineer. I was laid off and decided to pursue my master’s in data science since I found the field fascinating. And it is, large scale statistics and using machines to do stats is fun. But somewhere along my master’s I realized I really like programming and DS was not scratching that engineering itch that I have. I thought data engineering would be a nice middle ground since I have good software engineering skills and I understand what kind of data data scientist would want downstream. But I don’t have skill set for data engineering, I would have to spend months teaching myself and working on projects. I really don’t know if I should go back to applying for software engineering jobs, apply for data science job then try to transition to data engineering, or spend a few more months learning data engineering before sending out applications.

Should I get a master degree in computer science in either computing system or Machine learning /u/Gabriel_Fono CSCQ protests reddit

Should I get a master degree in computer science in either computing system or Machine learning /u/Gabriel_Fono CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone,

I’m feeling a bit stuck and would love some advice.

I was a self taught in the beginning but now I want to give some credit to my knowledge and career.

I graduated with a degree in civil engineering back in 2016 and worked as a structural engineer for two years. After moving to the USA, I decided to teach myself programming—and I absolutely fell in love with C++ and Java.

Since then, I’ve built some side projects that are now running ads, and I’ve been working as a full-stack engineer. Initially, I handled both frontend and backend work for about six months, but my role eventually shifted entirely to backend development. Now, I primarily work with Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and AWS ( mostly making sure the code is promoting to other environment like TEST,UAT, PREPROD , ETC ) for the past three years.

To deepen my knowledge, I’ve taken Udemy courses in Algorithms, Data Structures (which I really enjoyed), but haven’t really grant leetcode like crazy and Operating Systems (my absolute favorite).

I recently interview with three companies but only got one offer for a mid level backend engineer but I am still on the clearance process and it is not guaranteed.

Before this year ends, I want to set a new goal for next year: pursuing an online master’s degree in computer science. I’m considering specializing in Computing Systems (which aligns well with my daily work) or Machine Learning and AI (which is sort of trends today).

Would you recommend Georgia Tech for an online master’s program?
Has anyone here earned a master’s degree online or transitioned from a bachelor’s in a different field to a master’s in computer science?
is it any advantages of doing master degree ?
Do you all think I have higher chances to get accepted into the program ? Also bachelor degree in my country is three years but four years in the USA.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts, feedback, or advice!

Thanks!

Experienced dev working on automated E2E tests for the past month. How common is this and is it valuable? /u/kurioses CSCQ protests reddit

Experienced dev working on automated E2E tests for the past month. How common is this and is it valuable? /u/kurioses CSCQ protests reddit

I have almost 7 years of experience, on front end and back end. Working in an outsourcing company so this is something client wanted because they are in a release stage and wanted to “clean” some stuff up.

It was fine for me to pick up few tasks for the automated E2E tests, but now it’s been a month of working on them – setting the environment and working on very complex cases although I am not familiar with it nor the product itself.

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve learned a lot about product, about database and everything but it is not the main thing I wanna do and continue in the long term.

I said that of course and they said that’s only for this part of time when they are preparing work for new version.

Also, they have testers, but I am not sure why they don’t do it and I suspect they are mostly manual testers.

Aaaand I am not super happy in my company based on this and my salary, tried to talk to my boss, but didn’t get the pay increase for year and a half because “it is tough put there”.

Opinions and advice? I usually mess up in these situations and react aggressive but now I wanna take my time and do the right thing.

Aaaand I am not super happy in my company based on this and my salary, tried to talk to my boss, but didn’t get the pay increase for year and a half because “it is tough put there”.

Opinions and advice? I usually mess up in these situations and react aggressive but now I wanna take my time and do the right thing.

[link] [comments]  I have almost 7 years of experience, on front end and back end. Working in an outsourcing company so this is something client wanted because they are in a release stage and wanted to “clean” some stuff up. It was fine for me to pick up few tasks for the automated E2E tests, but now it’s been a month of working on them – setting the environment and working on very complex cases although I am not familiar with it nor the product itself. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve learned a lot about product, about database and everything but it is not the main thing I wanna do and continue in the long term.
