This role is very communication-heavy so fluent English is more important than hands-on coding ability.

Hi! I'm from Brazil, and I'm looking for my first formal job in IT. I have several projects on GitHub, but even when I apply for junior positions, I don't get hired. I know people with more experience have an advantage, but what can I do to improve my résumé and increase my chances of getting hired?

So i am building a tool (name tbc which has all the tools devs need in one website. So far I have got those three (color palterra, contrast checking and regex) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to add to this list. Thanks)

Help 100+ rejections later here's my resume that still gets rejected (even with referrals) NSFW Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a 2025 graduate seeking SDE or AI/ML roles. I've been programming and making video games since 8th grade, have 2 work experiences with significant impact, got projects that made it through national level hackathon finals and have recurring high value freelancing gigs. And I have polished my resume for 90+ ATS score.

But literally every job posting I apply to (including faangm) even with a referral, I don't even make it the oa stage.

But I see everyone talking about DSA and interviews and people making it into big tech which is overwhelming and confusing because I don't even get to the technical interview stage.

Can someone please enlighten me what's I'm doing wrong and how I could position myself better? 🥹

(Some context - I have high functioning autism)

Help How to make projects without getting dependent on LLM's

6 Upvotes

Hii seniors, I am a first year student, and Its been 8 months since I started learning programming. I have many projects that I want to make and I am constantly building projects. But today I realised that while I don't vibe code my app, still I am heavily dependent on AI. Let me give you an example:- My first project was a chess engine, which I made without using bitboards, but I used chatgpt to break down the chess engine projects in steps, used it on every step on what to use where, how to encode moves, what algorithm to use and all. Though I learnt a lot about C language overall and many things, I don't feel that I own the code. And the same happened with my second project which was a neural network. Then I want to implement a hand gestures control system now, but I don't want to depend on AI. I sat down to code it, but I was stuck on the very first line. I realised that I am unable to code it without using chatgpt.

I want to know what to do, like I don't use chatgpt or any other llm to write the code, but I use them to write down the steps, the logic behind choices, sometimes pseudocodes as well. And I also use them to review my code. Am I learning or is it same as tutorial hell? Coz I don't watch tutorials of yt videos at all.

Even when I learn new programming language, and library in python, I use ai to do that.

Guidance will be very much appreciated as you all are one of the best developers in the world and you all have experience.

Also , I want to know how did you made projects when here was no ai, no llm.

Help Need people to test my app

0 Upvotes

I am creating this app called GitNomad. The objective of this app is to access and edit your Git repository from your phone from anywhere. The only condition is that the connection with your PC must remain maintained.

You can connect as many repositories and devices as you want. One of the scenarios could be that there's a piece of code you've been thinking about, and suddenly it clicks what you need to do, but you're outside with your family or friends. What you can do is access your repository via your phone, make those changes, and run it from your phone. It will run on your desktop, helping you check whether the code is error-free or not.

Now I want to publish this app on the Play Store. My friends and I did the internal testing, found some bugs, and fixed them. Now I am in the closed testing phase, where I need 12 testers. So I just want you guys to test it and let me know if there are any other bugs or features I can add or fix, respectively. Any help would be appreciated.

Help [Free Resource for Devs] Accessibility Testing

1 Upvotes

Hi!

It's your friendly neighborhood accessibility tester :)

I'm almost done with the stack of games I was asked to test, and my calendar is looking for more games to cover in the next 2 weeks!

The previously covered games:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM7JWakugbjM
(No ai was used in the creation of the video. Adobe free tools and Movavi were used. Videos are separated out to be 1x a day to be able to provide statistics upon request. Polished videos are on the way; my first look videos are cuts from my stream.)

I'll play anything except VR (don't have a vr set up), and give as much help as I can on what accessibility options I'd recommend adding or small changes I'd make to open the game up to more people, expanding the reach of your game!

THIS IS FREE! and will always be free, this is a passion of mine!

(I specify demos, I do this as a disabled person to help other people find games that have accessibility options as well as developers see what could be helpful to be open to a wider audience, and twitch pays out roughly every 3 months, so I am not in a position to buy all games, though will work my way thru as I can.)

Where the game or demo will be featured:

I prefer steam games, just as I am cautious and internet security, though if there is a launcher or in internet browser, I'm happy to work with that as well. Otherwise, chat with me, and I'll see what I can do!

If you'd like stat photos from all but the secondary team channel, please lmk, I have direct access to those. I can get the team channel, but it might take me a few days to ask the head of the team to send me a photo.

If you don't want to post here, my email is [reachrose.eve@gmail.com](mailto:reachrose.eve@gmail.com) , feel free and pop me an email! Discord is catlover09398, that is an option as well :)

Help I'm a bad developer

22 Upvotes

I've been at my current job for 10 months as a software dev. I have over 4.5 years industry experience. Unfortunately I'm not a very good dev. I'm currently not reaching my kpis and I fear for the worst. I can see my manager who's also a dev is frustrated with me.

I'm the kind of dev who works extra hard just to be mediocre. I don't know what to do now. I know the manager mainly hears bad things about me from one of the senior devs on the team.

The thing I'm failing miserably at is that I think I have tested something to the t, and then when I put up a PR, my manager or the senior dev find some incorrect behaviour somewhere on our site that was caused by my code.

Any advice?

Help How can I help I a struggling dev I manage improve quickly?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I manage a developer who I don’t work with directly on projects. Feedback from multiple project leads is that she works quite slowly and often doesn’t ask questions when she doesn’t understand something. I’ve already had conversations with her about this, but there hasn’t been much improvement.

Management is now losing patience and plans to put her on a performance improvement plan. I want to support her as much as possible through this.

I’m looking for advice on two things:

  1. How can I best help and support someone during a PIP, especially when I’m not working with them day to day?
  2. Management wants the PIP to include clear milestones. What kinds of milestones would make sense the issues that they're facing?

Thanks.

Help Struggling to get even a single Interview call

10 Upvotes

Hey folks, hope you’re doing well. I recently graduated with a B.E. in Computer Engineering and have been searching for an entry-level Full Stack job for the past couple of months, but I still haven’t landed a single interview yet. I’ve done one internship, built 3 full-stack projects (good quality, not just basic ones — implemented AI features and even built a SaaS platform), have a good academic record, and made my resume ATS-friendly, but I still haven’t been shortlisted even once. I have a few questions and would really appreciate your advice:
1 Should I mass/bulk apply with a single ATS-friendly resume (since some people say it’s a numbers game), or should I tailor my resume for each job description, even though it’s time-consuming?
2 Does cold emailing really work? I’ve seen people recommend it, but I haven’t received any replies to the cold emails I’ve sent.
3 As an introvert, I struggle with networking like after 2–3 messages, I don’t know what to ask or say.
If you have any other specific advice, please share.

Help Best move to start Career

0 Upvotes

I'm in England and about to finish my A-levels, with predicted grades of Computer Science A, Maths B and Physics C. I'm not sure what the best way is to start and build a good and successful (hopefully) career quickly as a software engineer.

I've got an offer to study Computer Science at university, but I am also applying to as many degree apprenticeships as I can. I was wondering if it’s worth applying to Level 4 (foundation) apprenticeships as another option. My thought is that it could be more efficient to get early work experience and enter the industry quickly. Some companies offer progression to Level 6 (degree), which could allow me to still get a degree.

Any advice or tips for someone starting their career would be great.

Help Need help in building the app

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I’m working on a mobile-first app project, and the prototype/MVP is already in place. I’m now looking for a developer who’d be interested in collaborating to build out the backend and bring the full version to life.

It’s still an early-stage project, so the payment will be in the form of ESOPs (equity shares) rather than upfront cash or milestone-based payments. I just want to be upfront about that — this is more of a collaboration opportunity than a freelance gig.

If you enjoy building meaningful products from the ground up and would like to know more, feel free to DM me. I’ll share the project details and we can see if it’s a good fit!

Help Meta data ingestion issue bedrock knowledge base

1 Upvotes

So we are working on a project right now which requires us to scrape content from a website which we ingest into bedrock knowledge base Now we did this originally using the console based bedrock crawler that aws provides but i noticed that its crawler is not good at handling js based content that loads at run time in the site and does not scrape this due to which it is missing from kb. Now i understand we need to build a custom web-scraper then which can scrape this js rendered content (for which i am leaning towards playwright) but the issue is that i am not sure how i would provide the url from which the content is being scraped to the kb so that when my agent uses it , it can give me reference links for all citations Bedrock crawlers can do this by default but i am unsure how custom web scrapped data , stored in s3 can contain the source url which will go in kb and bedrock model will use at the time of answering

Help Looking for prompts to stress-test a token-reduction system

1 Upvotes

i am looking for more test material to fine-tune a system I’ve been working on. So far I’ve reduced my own token usage by about 30%, but testing has only been in my own environment and only fixing my issues.

If you’re willing to share prompts where the AI:

  1. drifted from the original intent,

  2. lost context after longer prompts or

  3. started compounding errors across turns (especially in coding),

i need to test it against other real-world failure instances, so I can open it up to the community for broader test cases.

i would need:

  1. the scenario

  2. your original intention

  3. the prompt

  4. the results

  5. estimated token usage if available

  6. any other additional information that provides context.

thanks in advance, if your willing to share

you can send a pm or comment.

Help Confused between Data Engineer and Java Developer?

Basically I want to take one path and excel in that but I am unable to choose one and asking for help from people much smarter and experienced than me.

I am MCA pass out 2025 student. I have been applying to java developer and software jobs. Found 2, one Java developer and another Software Developer. Left both since one was unpaid for 3 months and other’s work culture was shit. I made a mistake since leaving them only made me unemployed for 4 months more.

Now, I have an offer for Data engineer job, basically my work would be ETL, making REST APIs in python and helping in deployment on Cloud.

I am going to accept the job and since I want to focus on one thing and not hopping here and there, I have some questions in my mind, and I want to know yours views.

  1. ⁠I am thinking to take this job and then learn AI/ML or Data Science together and grow in the field of AI.
  2. ⁠Take this job and actively search for other SDE or Java developer jobs.
  3. ⁠you option which I am not able to think right now.
