I haven't even been fired- I'm six months out from (finally) graduating, and the only offer I've gotten I couldn't afford to take. I'm losing my mind.

I'm a recent graduate with a BS in Math, my 'early years' background is similar to yours... if you can't get a job, I don't know why I bother to keep applying. Best of luck mate.

I'm hardly in the position to be telling you how you learn a language best, but I always felt programming type puzzles of the oj.leetcode.com variety were better for getting me to learn a programming language, where as projecteuler.net

Dumb question- is the SF alum center open to non-CoE folks? I was a math major that took a handful of CS classes... and am in desperate need of employment, but no one seems interested in giving entry-level dev work.

I get so excited when it's supposed to rain, especially in the summer. That ozone smell before, and that earthy smell (which I now now is geosmin) after. It's so awesome. I wish I could bottle it and do bumps to my noses content.

Sorry to derail: but does anyone have any experience with the Y series of lenovo laptops? I have an X201 that I got used and it's started dying on me sporadically (fan kicks up to it's highest speed for ~5sec then shuts off) whene

I don't know how to get on the radar of any companies. I'd love to be given a coding challenge. Background: Received Math degree this past summer, 0 years as a full-stack developer. I had supporting coursework in CS, so I'm n

Uber is on-demand, and costs more because of that (convenience tax). Spending 15min on a Sunday evening to book your kids activities for the week isn't awful, and it gives MB a chance to pick optimal routes. Convenience has a cost, pla

Hey! I appreciate the intel, but... Sorry, I'm less than entry level. My studies were general math, though I did get 'supporting coursework' in CS (~half in CS theory, half 'applied:' Java, C++). I can't find a

Sorry for the dumb question, but how would I find these employers? I did study four years of German in highschool (so I can hold a conversation with a toddler. Maybe) and have a degree in mathematics from UIUC.
