In my experience, exact subjects taken at higher levels of university don’t matter that much. If you’re going to be applying for industry positions, they’re going to be much more interested in your mastery and knowledge of the foundations of CS and ML rather than knowledge in very specific or obscure parts of ML. As long as you have at least some math, CS or ML subjects at master’s level, I believe you’ll be considered a strong candidate.

Personally, I regret not taking more of the subjects I was more interested in rather than the ones I thought will get me a job.

Depends on many things. For example: how much do you trust the company, what other products have they built, are they building a prototype or MVP, are they building software that needs to be highly reliable, secure or precise, do they do internal code reviews, do you want them to optimise for time of delivery or correctness or what exactly, etc. In any case , I’d recommend to get someone you trust to do a cursory code review after the first month just to see if they spot major red flags. Although if their code quality is bad, you’ll probably spot red flags in their product as well.

I’d be curious to know why they “worried” in the first place though.

I like recommending “How to automate the boring stuff with Python”: http://automatetheboringstuff.com/. And if they’re still interested after a few chapters of that: Harvard’s CS50.

The Berkeley AI course is very practical. The “search” section can help you learn search algorithms: http://ai.berkeley.edu/search.html

I think writing small games and solvers for them can be a good way to learn and practice algorithms and data structures. In my first year of CS we had to implement the Rush Hour game and write a solver for it.

This article is a pretty great: https://latacora.micro.blog/2020/03/12/the-soc-starting.html

I’d say look for a new job. Sounds like the IT department at your company is poorly run. Especially at the start of your career I think it is important to work at a well-run company so that you can learn from the best and not start to resent your career choice.

Most decent companies and interviewers will give you a chance to explain your reasons for leaving after only six months. It’s quite normal for devs, especially for recent graduates, to move around before finding their niche.

+1 for Grokking Algorithms!

Perhaps add a demo video or more screenshots of the features. It's not really clear what your product does.

Nice site design!

Wow! Care to share what site this was?

I feel like every programming-related application, library, etc. should have a page like this.

Not sure what you mean with launch full-screen, but you can add a shortcut to any website on your home screen using Safari. https://www.wikihow.tech/Add-a-Link-Button-to-the-Home-Scree...

Brene Brown's Daring Greatly made a huge impact on me! From what I understand it's very similar to The Power of Vulnerability.

Whichever one you do the most exercises on! I haven't used Leetcode before, but Hackerrank is really decent. I would suggest working through the challenges in the previous contests (https://www.hackerrank.com/contests) as they are more interesting and harder to solve than the practice exercises.

I prefer a high-level language like Python for coding interviews so that I can use their string operations, list comprehensions, etc. and not have to manually "implement" the boring parts of the questions.

As an interviewer I would really rather not sit and watch someone write C on a whiteboard. Use whatever language you feel like you can skip to the interesting parts of algorithms. Even pseudo code could work.

Your articles are very pleasant to read! Great balance of screenshots, code, and dialogue with just the right amount of information. :)

I used to tutor at a coding class for high school kids and I never saw them more engaged than they had been with flexbogfroggy!
