cscareerquestions - Sin Doctor

Hey fellas, i’m a 26 (nearly 27) y/o guy who has been wasting his life on his computer for better part of his life. I’m quite tech savvy and I know my way around a computer and if not, I google it. A recent vacation, I think, finally has opened my eyes fully to the need for a financial security which coding provides. I’ve looked at a couple of reddit posts and read through, done a bit of digging. I have some very basic front end experience, but I don’t think that front end would be something i’d like to do. I think software engineering would be more financially profitable and money is really a big motivator in this regard.

So, this is a question for the SWE’s, what would you do if you’d start over with the knowledge you have?
I’m open to any tips from any of the coders as i’d like to know as much as possible. Thank you very much!

Generalist vs Specialized (Web) /u/Jupiternerd CSCQ protests reddit

Hey, in this market, which is more valuable to an employer? A generalist who can handle all aspects of web development or someone who specializes in a specific domain/framework. My web development professor said the full-stack/generalist route is not the way to get hired, but I hear the direct opposite online. I also see videos that say that the line between the front and back end is blurring, and you’d need to know both somewhat to use the new frameworks and tooling.

I’d like to hear some opinions, thanks!

1 year master degree.. where to start? /u/No_Mousse_6714 CSCQ protests reddit

I want to pursue a masters degree in computer science.

I already have 6 years of experience as a software engineer, but to get back in to academics, i literally don’t know where to start.

I’m looking for something part time (do with the job), and short (1 year) . tbh I just want the master degree title, and would like it to be from a well known university so it looks good on the resume.

Although i don’t know where to start? Is it too late to start preparing for next year fall term?

How do you know everything the huge space between HW/SW? /u/MericAlfried CSCQ protests reddit

I am ECE student but heavy focus on CE. I have worked on hardware design (gate and transistor level) and software to model and verify the hardware (very high level, C++, Python). I would say for a ECE my SW skills are very good, for CS maybe okayish. For completeness and because I wanted to learn how the device actually does what it should do, I had a classes how compilers work and what an OS, device driver conceptually do but when it comes to truly understanding such things like the actual code of linux OS kernel, Llvm, embedded programming to name a few, my brain turns off. The code is so huge and makes no sense to me and I think I am lacking too much knowledge where generations of SWEs worked on before me. Can one person even learn it (especially when I am already non CS background) just like that or is it a whole life task and I should just stick to my strength in hardware especially when wanting to make a carreer out of that? Like that guy: Writing USB driver for Linux in 3 hours
