They are gonna ruin entire batches of Comp Sci students aren't they
Students SHOULD learn to code and reason by themselves to develop the critical thinking ability. Now they will be writing code they don't themselves understand.
@anirudhbb It doesn’t matter if you’re an FTE or a freelancer, customers expect more, faster of you. People care about getting a competitive edge. Everyone had access to the same AI, so no one has an advantage. That’s what FTEs and freelancers should focus on.
Hackers aren’t defined by code.
They’re defined by mindset.
They refuse to waste time on things that can be delegated to machines,
So they can focus on thinking, creating, and building the things machines can’t.

I absolutely loved this email from Fiverr’s CEO (a $1B company) to his team.
Brutally honest, and written with care (two qualities I admire most in leaders)
Every word resonates with me. A solid wake-up call.
it's really fucking hard to find competent engineers.
i've interviewed about 20 cs majors who claim to be experts at typescript and only 3 of them have been able to explain what the purpose of useState is (not trolling).
Advise for people giving Super 30 interviews (job interviews as well)
1. Talk less, listen more
2. Take pauses
3. Ask if you're going in the right direction
4. Have one super impressive project
5. Order an external mic
6. Have your video on
7. Don't have undies drying in the back
The last thing we need is a new generation of CS students (and developers) who have no understanding of what they're building because they got to "speed hack" their way through assignments and school 👀
@yashvardhandho3 Don't buy my course. It is meant for experienced engineers.
Once you are 2 years into industry then go for my course. Until then, ok intermittently watch my YT videos.
I’ve seen a ton of devs struggling to pivot to AI lately and here’s what you can try to get more theoretical especially in LLMs:
1. Transformers
Architecture, tokenization, attention mechanisms, sampling techniques
2. Pretraining
Data prep, distributed training, optimization strategies, monitoring
3. Post-training Data
Chat templates, synthetic data generation, data cleaning & filtering
4. Supervised Fine-Tuning
Training techniques, hyperparameters, distributed runs, monitoring
5. Alignment
Rejection sampling, DPO, PPO, alignment monitoring
6. Evaluation
Automated benchmarks, human evals, model-based evals, feedback loops
7. Quantization
Core concepts, GGUF & llama.cpp, GPTQ & AWQ, SmoothQuant, ZeroQuant
8. Misc
Multimodal models, interpretability, test-time efficiency
Learn javascript for webdev and python for AI.
It's a very dumbed down take, but relevant for most folks (especially freshers). The amount of resources i.e. community support, frameworks, abstractions and libraries you'd find in these 2 languages for the respective domains is insane!
Google? They’ll ask you DSA.
Amazon? DSA is a given.
Meta? Expect a solid DSA round.
Microsoft? DSA will definitely be there.
Uber? Yep, DSA again.
This part hasn’t changed.
People say “DSA is outdated” or “real-world dev work doesn’t need it”
But when it comes to clearing interviews? DSA still holds the gate.
If you're not prepping it, you're just gambling.
GfG 160 helps you do just that, go from DSA to Development, all at one place.
And after DSA, Today’s the first session of our JAVA three day workshop. Join the live tonight at 8 PM IST: https://t.co/ito65mLUkW

@exvillager@fermionapp I am willing to teach/open to you learning on the job but I need a baseline intelligence and work experience already. You should be fast learner.
Most such experienced people would probably want a full time role directly, but if you want to join as an intern, sure
