I'll give you the synopsis. Unless you are looking to work in a different country or getting your first job, a masters for CS probably won't affect anything.
Hey just found your content and have been binge watching. Great stuff! Based on the quality and relevance of the content I expect this channel will grow quickly. Will watch with great anticipation
Hey - Been enjoying your videos - Curious if you have suggestions/thoughts on the most productive agenda to use for 1-on-1s between sw-engineer IC and their managers?
It's a great question! Works best when the report drives the agenda, with additions from anything the manager needs to share. The report needs to get used to owning their career. Talking about what they've done, what their priorities are, and blockers. I believe I talk a bit about this in 'Get Promoted Faster in hours a year' which emphasizes open, regular communication with your manager. th-cam.com/video/amycVwur0ac/w-d-xo.html
@@TheDeliberateEngineer I would love to know your thoughts on Big Data, specifically on Hadoop ecosystem,where this industry is headed and how to prepare for big data developer/administrator role. Your wisdom is highly appreciated. Thank You.!
@@TheDeliberateEngineer No problem! Meanwhile I'll get to speed on other important information you have shared as youtube videos. I am thankful to you for sharing your wisdom with us! Plenty of information is available, but wisdom is hard to come by. ✌️
Hey John! Talking about IDEs, I was surprised your didn't mention these highly customizable, text-centric editors like Emacs/Vim/NeoVim. Do you think they are worth learning if the person has the inclination to, or they are a waste of precious time? I always thought that if I will spend several years of my career coding/writing in a computer, I would be better off learning how to do that efficiently. But is very easy to fall into a customization rabbit hole and spend all of your time "improving your workflow" instead of actually being productive. I wonder what's your experience like, and also with people you worked with. Thanks for you content!
Thank you for watching! EMACS is great, and I've used it for years, as appropriate. I have friends who solely develop in VI and its siblings. So, those are absolutely worth learning if you're in an environment where others are using them. In general it's good to be near the center of mass for tools in your choices at whatever company you're at, so there's a good body of people you can help and be helped by.
The second most common way to debug is not to use a debugger? It's not the first!? I am sad. At no point do these people ever think: there must be a better way? Actually this would be a good interview question, it will tell me whether they branch out, learn and improve or just stick to the basics.
Hi. Great video. What's your take on software engineering-specific courses or software engineering graduate degrees? Do you think they're more practical than CS degree? Or is software engineering just stuff you can pick up on the job?
In my opinion school and courses are mostly about seeing if you like the area, and maybe picking up a few point skills. Whatever you learn in school will have to be adapted on the job. Pick whichever sounds most interesting, because both are fine for qualifying you for software engineer jobs.
I think knowing the core data structures is good enough. The interviewers don't necessarily want to see you solve things perfectly, they want to see your thought process working towards a solution, and that you're a competent coder!
Hey can you please make a video about the pros and cons of having a masters degree in cs and how it will affect our progression on the industry

This is really awesome advice! Thanks for making these videos :)

Thank You.!
I don't know Hadoop unfortunately, but as I learn about it, I'll keep this in mind. Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm trying to remember what I thought was the first - I think it's "Zen debugging" where you try to guess what the problem is and recompile :)

Agree with most of them but algorithms you have to memorize given all big tech interviews are algo based especially leetcode style
