How to showcase problem solving? Especially for someone who is quite methodical about it and mostly rely on what others did. Meaning that the default response is looking into literature to see what others have done and solving after looking through previous examples.
This approach worked so far, but seems like might not work anymore.
And the lean startup is about iterating fast and being aggresive with iterations and validation? Because small companies have velocity over large ones? Again recalling from memory. Read both of these books really long time ago.
So how do you keep on getting ideas then? How should one identify the domains where the problems are? Everything I can think of seems to have been solved and there are 3/4 products available for that particular problem. The main issue at the moment is even having an idea or a domain to work on. Kinda sad from my side.
We would be lucky if we get to survive next five years. There is no way for us to get into something tangible, if we are resident of relative south (asia, SA, Africa). Surviving for the next day in the developed world is the game we play.
How about home country? What is the point when globalization floods the local market. We were wiped out there, hence we had to leave. Everything we want to do, giant corpos do it cheap or for free. In relative south of the world, people lack money. So data privacy doesn't matter. The concept of paying for software doesn't exists.
In the developed side, existing is a dread with no hope. There are enough competent people joining the field who get more priorities. For eternal juniors like us, please show hope. Pretty you may find it difficult to relate to any words here. Anyone born in the west are taught to find their purpose, other countries not so much. It's all about money because money solves 99% issue over there.
Username checks out.
What we offer is meaningless to most people; our work doesn't produce any value. There is no meaning in these work. How would one begin a career in such conditions? Everything has been shattered so much. There is no trust in the system.
I am talking from the point of a person who is graduating in the current economy after studying CS.
Our (the average) internships don't turn into full-time, our thesis are child's play and can be considered cute. Is this how life is going to be?
With AI, especially after yesterday's Gemini Pro 1.5 demo [1], it does what we bottom-tiers do. Look through examples, and apply it. What was the point on learning things?
