Codeberg is my main Git host for now, but I also have GitHub and GitLab accounts. Unfortunately, I do not have the means to afford a cheap VPS, or self-host it locally.

Lavender.

That could be a good spring board for a similar project you could build for your resume for other companies

I’m planning to work over this project, but I’ll add this as my personal project instead. I have withdrawn my application. Too bad I had my hopes high on getting a job.

I’ve updated the post - you can read the entire job listing.

Why are you aiming to be an intern/early-career full-stack engineer?

Because I’m applying to startups. The barrier to entry for corporate jobs is very high - what I mean is that there’s too much of us. In such situations, people will ask recruiters who happen to be their blood relatives or neighbors to recommend them. But I do not have that privilege. And the problem with startup is poor pay, with too much skill requirement. The poor pay is still understandable, but what’s understandable is the high skill requirement.

The market is never good in India, when you have a million CS grads trying to compete for a few thousand open positions. And it just went downhill after 2021/2022. And yes, I am very picky about not going the service-based route, but that’s because I’d rather be a hippie wagie than a IT sweatshop wagie.

I have also optimized my CV for ATS. I’ve custom-made my own template, which is very similar to Jake’s resume.

It’s hopeless in this shitty recession. I’ve been applying since 2019, and still no progress. Applied on wellfound, indeed, internshala.

College is a fucking waste of time. And no amount of open source contribution matters, it’s all bullshit.

I wasted my time contributing and creating issues for GitLab and Nixpkgs. At most, I had an opportunity for MLH, fucking lost it.

All I have is a bunch of stupid t-shirts, keychains and stickers from GitLab. As if that can feed me.

Even a CS degree is useless in this day and age. Gee, did I waste four years of my time, only to end up unemployed? My other fellow CS grads are in positions that have nothing to do with their degree. Sales, HR, QA. What the fuck?

I started applying since the second year of my university. That would be around 2019. 2023 will end soon. That’s how long I’ve been jobless. “Oh, then just apply for an internship” - I’ve been doing this exact fucking thing. All my applications have been ghosted, or I’ll get presented with extremely difficult projects, that are for a mid-exp dev.

If you’re re-considering your career in tech, just become a chef or something. The rat-race is mentally draining, I’m at my final straw, and I’d rather burn this stupid degree to warm myself to sleep.

Can you let the mods know about this? It’s a bot pretending to be a user.

I was wondering about what makes it different from Faust?

European Union kind, but with the concept of India still being a country, governing not states, but sub-nationalities. Some amount of centralization should still exist with respect to defense, unequal fund allocation and the likes. Oh, and I forgot to add this - dual citizenship should be enforced compulsorily. Single citizenship is what’s caused dangerous, destructive territorial nationalism primarily on the basis of Hindi and Hindu identity.

South Indian from a minority group here. The partition was pretty fucking stupid. I’d rather if there were no partition, but federation of power to states, divided on linguistic basis. India has a sub-nationalism problem. Kannada and Malayali chauvinists destroyed not just mine, but countless languages and cultures. Similarly, Bengali destroyed the tribal culture in Orissa and Jharkhand, and Hindi language in cow-belt areas.

I suck at this. Can’t even solve the older problems.

Can you at least share a code snippet so we have any idea about what we are looking into?

Your teacher is wrong here, at least from what I’m getting the vibe. Those two keywords don’t make the program unreadable, they’re there to serve a purpose.

At this point, I don’t even know. I am actually interested in niche stuff like embedded, graphics and system programming, but there’s no scope in my country. I’m not really finding it fulfilling to learn web technologies. For now, I’m working on a NextJS tutorial to learn about WebSocket and perhaps something about meta-frameworks. Looking for an internship again, because entry-level jobs are next to impossible, at least with the unbelievable requirements, but internships roles in Wellfound are also absolute garbage. They’re looking for a 5+ YOE engineer with the salary of an intern. Fuck the labor laws in India.

Graduated last September. I had joined a RoR full-stack internship last year around the last week of October 2022. Quit that shitty job around the end of January, tried applying for about four months, while learning React and ExpressJS alongside, and after that, I just gave up around September.

Still jobless. No luck, and deteriorating mental health.

I wanted to try out their Freemail and IRC, but when I tried exploring some of the sites, I could not stomach it. It is filled with lots of vile gore stuff and shockers. I’d also suspect there’s CP too.
