every time I ask this question people give me silly answers like 'mcdonalds is not a good reference' . mind you I handled the playplace incidents and I also made the local birthday booking page responsive (on mobile) but let's keep that aside now, I accept thats not impressive.

but then I ask you 'what exactly is impressive'. well apparently nothing. people just say 'something better', 'make a project'. so much ambigous and vague advice.

I need a fucking job , I don't have much time and you are giving these answers.

If my jquery and html knowledge is outdated, If I need to write react code and a job is guaranteed, then tell me na. I will start today. But what do you mean “just keep trying”, “build projects”, “have patience”?? what exactly am I supposed to build?

Hi everyone,
I’m an AI graduate and recently I was given a computer vision project to complete within a limited timeline as part of a research opportunity.
The project itself is not my main concern. What is worrying me is that I feel much more comfortable understanding concepts than implementing them completely on my own.
For a long time, I used AI tools as learning assistants while building projects. They helped me understand ideas faster, but now I feel like I have become too dependent on them when it comes to coding.
If I have to build a project completely by myself, I often get stuck at questions like:
How do I structure the code?
How do I decide what files and modules to create?
How do I debug issues efficiently?
How do I move from understanding a concept to implementing it independently?
I know many people use documentation, GitHub repositories, papers, Stack Overflow, and AI tools, but I’m curious about how experienced researchers and engineers actually work.
If you were given around 3–4 weeks to complete a computer vision project, what would your learning and development approach look like?
I’m trying to become more independent and build stronger fundamentals rather than relying on generated code.
Any practical advice would be appreciated.

You are asked to push code/design you know has bugs/gaps. What would you do?
A. Push anyway (to meet deadline)
B. Inform team but still push

C. Refuse until fixed/tested

D.Negotiate for partial delivery

E. No idea

I once hooked up with a hot, married Googler I met online. It's left me with the impression Google HQ has a fun, hookup culture. Googlers, can you sleep with coworkers and still keep your jobs? Other big tech workers, what's the vibe where you are for the 35+ crowd?

Amazon has a super appropriate culture. Also, if he's remotely handsome and older than 35, he's partnered off. It's like working at Amazon wards off divorce. Lucky wives!

so I'm starting DSA prep from scratch (2nd year, trying to get ahead for internships, placements next year, panicking a bit ngl) and everyone I ask recommends something different lol

some seniors said just do striver's sheet start to finish, some say leetcode is enough if you're consistent, and gfg has like a whole dsa course + articles for everything but idk if its outdated or still good in 2026

anyone actually used more than one of these and can tell me the real difference? like which one is better for actually understanding concepts vs just grinding problems

also open to other suggestions if I'm missing something obvious
