I graduated in December 2023 and have a job lined up starting in the summer. I was hoping to start a month or two after I graduated but my employer said that want all the new hires starting at the same time. Time after graduation went slow at first but is now speeding up and I’m realizing that I have lost lots of confidence in my coding ability. I tried Leet code and I know how to solve a good amount of the ones I looked out on a principal level, but writing the code to solve it is another thing. I know the most common advice would be to keep practicing Leet code, but I just get super frustra ..read more

Second year computer science student here. In a real dev environment, how often is OOP used and how exactly is it used? I've had a few projects where we've had to store some data in classes and had structures in C and all that but that was mostly because we were asked to do that. What really and how really is OOP used? I want a real-life example. Also I feel like with a language like Java you can't really go without using OOP. Let me know! and correct me if I'm wrong about anything. submitted by /u/StardustCrusader4558 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

​ Hello, community! I am working on a project to collect data from machines spread across Brazil, using software that needs to be lightweight and efficient due to the limited capacity of these devices. Currently, we are considering using Node.js with node-cron to manage data collection tasks and send this information via an API Gateway to an SQS queue, with files and commands being sent to the server coming from an API that will be consumed by the service itself. Additionally, I'm thinking about facilitating deployment using a ZIP package. I would like to hear your experiences or recommendati ..read more

Engineer mindset: go to bottom of the issue and fix it to never fail. To prevent small probability event. he always introduces or asks extra effort unnecessarily for not important ticket. But one important fact is we have many todo tasks everyday. This can postpone people or himself progress on other tasks or require work overtime. This drags down productivity. To me, this is small-picture thinking, he only focuses on this single ticket. Also this is another form of trade-off. Before when it came to trade-off, I always thought about the case that two solutions for same problem and we compare ..read more

Hi guys, I have about 2 YOE working at a large non tech corporation. About two months ago my bosses assigned me to learn a code base that was new to me. I asked if there was anything hands on I could do to learn by doing. They wanted me to get involved and added me to the relevant meetings and group chats. On two occasions I tried to get involved in the development. But the two devs that maintain this project won’t let me help. They say because of merge conflicts. I find this very frustrating and I am left just reading their commits to learn the code base. And attending meetings on this proje ..read more

Building a system which can identify all users affected by system failure & triggers Push notifications(PN) once systems are back up, either for all users of app opens OR specific page say for an e-commerce - CART/ADDRESS/PAYMENT/PRODUCT LISTING PAGE, failing for certain time & users were not able to do things served by these pages/micro-services. I have notification system in place which takes the `<user-id + template-message>`, message could same for all users OR user-specific (say some are dropped from CART, some from PRODUCT LISTING PAGE) & sends **PN** to users. System ..read more

Looking for recommendations on system design books that focus on systems similar to DoorDash, Uber, Lyft. Not looking for system design book in general like DDIA. I’ve already read it. Genuinely want to read up on how events play a role in these type of scheduling systems. Any recommendations are appreciated.
