Mega ๐งต on what interns could do to get a Full Time offer after their internship.
Before you start the internship:
๐๐พDo your research. Learn as much as you can about the company, the internship program, and the role you will be playing.

I came across this Handbook that details everything you need to know about becoming a Developer advocate
This is really informative

50% of StackOverflow traffic is gone!
Look at the attached chart. It tells a scary story that will not be limited to StackOverflow.
Right now, detecting AI-generated content is impossible.
Last week, OpenAI shut down the tool they created for this purpose. They launched it in January, and it's dead today, less than seven months later.
Their statement: "The AI classifier is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy."
I'm not surprised about any of these two events.
I don't remember the last time I visited StackOverflow. Why would I when tools like Copilot and ChatGPT answer my questions faster without making me feel bad for asking?
And I'm even less surprised about OpenAI killing their tool: Many believe detecting AI-generated text is impossible. I'm one of them.
Here's what OpenAI had to say about this:
"We are (...) currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated."
Notice how they differentiate text from audio and visual content. For the latter, they seem confident they'll find a way to recognize humans from AI. For text, they are not and are word-salad'ing us with a vague "researching more effective provenance techniques."
StackOverflow famously banned any AI-generated answers from the site.
That's the wrong move.
Instead, we need to find a way where human and AI-generated content coexist and benefit from each other. There's no putting the genie back in the bottle, so how can we get the most out of it?
Do you think StackOverflow will survive? What can they do to fend off what seems to be a life-threatening event?
It took me 3 months to pass my frontend interview at Amazon
I did it by creating a system based off hours of research and preparation
Here is a simple guide to help you get ready for your future tech interviews
Don't be one of those developers who knows all the latest tech buzzwords but can't write a clean for-loop.
Focus on the basics. Foundations matter. No one cares about the decorations if the building's about to collapse.
If you can't find the answer in books, courses, or content - you can probably find it at the gym, on a long walk, or during an extended period of silence.
Some times I just want to build and do my thing in isolation but then you remember to build, you need the network to expand,
So now, you have to be out there as well, networking and creating healthy partnerships where possible, while still building. Sigh

Software Engineer == Problem Solver
Don't attack problems with code. Try first to understand them from a business perspective and then a technical perspective. When you do this, make a plan for how to solve it.
Try to solve without coding.ย The best code is not code.
If you must code, then do it.

Are you a web dev? If so, pause and think how much you use MDN. A lot, right?
Did you know MDN is maintained, in a big part, by OWD, a vendor-neutral org?
Did you know OWD depends on sponsorship money to continue doing good work?

MAJOR Health update. Wow.
I recorded this exactly one year ago.
This has been a difficult journey but I feel like I have made actual changes that I will be keeping for the rest of my life.
Consistency before intensity.
Life long lifestyle changes.
