show em your personal projects and knowledge and shit

>>62058679
Sure you can. Just don't be arrogant about it.

>>62058679

If you actually "fell" for anything on this board I don't feel sorry for you. Fag.

>>62058679
I did this last year, what changed? I mean, you're not going to get a job with Google unless you're a fucking savant (or transgender), but it only took me about 3 weeks of job hunting once I had a portfolio worth looking at on github.

>>62058679
I got a programming job and I studied math.

>>62058679
>>62058700
Thinkpad
Common sense
best meme

>>62058679
You can. It is just harder, and recently got a LOT harder now that employers have figured out that people who spent 2 weeks in a "koding bootkamp" are not programmers.

What kind of personal projects do you guys show to your employer? I'm genuinely curious. Give examples.

>>62058709
math is extremely relevant to programming
heck it's pretty much relevant to all of life

>>62058679
I got a programming job with a biomedical engineering bachelor

>>62058748
>We are looking for a Java developer
>Ok! Here is an application that I made, running on my phone

>We are looking for a web developer
>Ok! Here is my website, and here is a website I made for someone else

>>62058750
>math is extremely relevant to programming
not really outside of basic arithmetic

>>62058679
serial experiments lain
thinkpad
ssd

koss portapros
casio watch
linux
mechanical keyboard
dac/amp
redmi note 3

Does Android being better than iOS count? I "upgraded" from the Nexus 5X to iPhone 6S and the latter is pretty much better in all counts.

All good memes I'm glad I fell for.

Model M
Multiple monitors
Rock Zircons from /csg/
SSD

Just use common sense and don't fall for the obviously terrible memes.

>>62058762
>>62058748
I mean actual examples. I do small things on the side and I'm wondering if it's worth putting on github. The last thing I did was a timer with hotkeys that I used for my job.

>>62058776

I genuinely considered one what's wrong with them

>ssd

That's a given...

>>62058795

>>62058776
How do you feel about having 0 capacity for independent thought?

>>62058719
>common sense
Quite true 2bh fàm. Common sense protects you against skiddies' phishing attacks and downloading Trojans because it's name "justibbieber.exe", but it's powerless against exploits such as found in the NSA / CIA leaks as these are far from being trivial.

>>62058831

>chromium, firefox and palemoon are botnet

>>62058750
People who don't program always think this.
In reality, you only need basic arithmetic. Anything else you want has a library already.

>>62060045
Who the fuck says this? They are literally open source so you can check the fucking code and see for yourself there is nothing fishy in it. You can also disable sending statistical data .

>>62059552

Yup. As long as you know your shit, and can prove it people will hire you. Especially if you have a skillset that isn't fucking fullstack dev.

Never bothered with Thinkpads, not sure why they're shilled so much. Screen looks too small and I assume a 5+ yr old CPU will be slow as fuck

Thinkpad.
Libreboot.

Mech keyboard isn't exclusive to /g/ but that too.

>>62058679

Which has nothing to do with programming jobs.

>>62060196
thinkpads are mostly shilled for the easy linux install, the fact you can swap most parts with out it being difficult, and the ability of finding them for less that 100$. it's a good meme for a poor college kid

>>62058679
C, it's a dead language.

Thinkpads are good.
((( memes ))) are considered bad in this thread. Therefore thinkpads are no meme.
A x220 is perfectly fine. If you want a bigger display get a t420. If you have the dought, then you can even get a newer model (not worth it for me though)

SSDs are neither a meme. They are good and useful.

you actually can, it's just incredibly hard, requires some give-a-shit on your part and you might have to suck a couple people off

You can pretty much get any job without a degree if you prove your capabilities and talk well.
You don't need a CS degree to get access to the very books which constitute it, memorize them, and apply them.

Only socially retarded idiots fail at this.

ThinkPad meme
SSD meme
Binux meme
Aliexpress and those chink sites

Ain't even all that mad, it's pretty cosy. Not even a poorfag really, but the way i spend my money, it sure seems like it. The most expensive piece of technology I've bought has been my BinkBad W520 for $340 (AUD) followed by a pair of HyberX Savage 480GB ($270 (bundle deal)) and 2 1920x1200 monitors ($240 (bundle deal)) over the course of 3 years.
Thanks for showing me the ways of the BinkBad, /g/

Hiring manager here, people without degrees work harder and are usually better problem solvers than most CS grads. CS grads also tend to neglect networking and rarely have good office skills. Its ironically the office skills that are usually the issue.

>Thinkpads are indestructible!
>Middle mouse button broke off.
>Requires replacement of entire keyboard+mouse unit at about £50

>>62058679
Anybody who says this is a fucking retard.

You can, of course you can. If you're extremely talented.

But most people are nothing better than average. And they can't.

And most average of all, are those without a CS degree, even below average, that spew shit like

>Why go to university, I can learn it all by myself

>>62058816
I am perfectly happy with my T430 and 1TB ssd, they're no meme anon, they're the one single thing that I got out of this site, If I were to name something else that's popular on here and is actually good I'd say SICP, but I knew that from way before.

>>62060065

>>62058679
>Corporate IT isn't fun

I once had a guy tell me they were great because everything was made out of cheap plastic and therefore the parts were cheap to replace. Sounded like he just described a low end asus/acer/hp to me. I do like these business laptops tho. They don't seem (or feel) cheap at all. I'm guessing he was trying to evangelise to justify his own purchasing decisions.

That sounds like a nightmare. I imagine their work ethics are horrible. The kind that suddenly doesn't show up and puts a huge strain on others with extra work. Most probably can't prove that they dropped out so they had time for a respectable activity.

>you need to pay thousands for books, transportation, food, housing and/or tuition fees to get a degree and be thousands more in depth, just to get a job in CS. That's what a degree is.

Dude, you fell for the most profitable meme there is. Now cry, in despair that all those spending were for naught. Degrees are unreliable and few employers demand that you have one if they can see that you are talented.

>>62058776
Are you me? I fell for all of these except serial experiments lain and 16 GB RAM (but I have 10GB in my X220)

Great memes. Especially the cheap yet good equipment like thinkpad, RN3P, Xiaomi pistons, Casio F-91W. Plus I was also memed into buying a Xiaomi power bank.

>>62058679
it's possible. a few years ago i applied to a python job and the guy basically just asked if i could fizz buzz or not. back then i was just starting out so of course i couldn't do it but if i could i probably would have been hired.

Not to even mention AI is on it's way and getting smarter everyday. FB just had to shutdown it's AI because the damn thing created it's own language. How long do you think it will be before it can write code?

You just need better personal projects. Make some websites. Slap bootstrap on them, tweak the css and colors a bit, deploy to amazon cloud free tier. And link the urls along with your git hub on your resume.

Also expect to be underpaid $30-50k for the first 1-3 years. But after you get that bit of "real" industry experience you should be able to pull $60-80k easy when you hop to a different company.
