So according to the posts he spent $80,000 of his own money to buy cloud services, DoS 2 routers for a day, then is suprised the CIA didn't hire him.

It's probably fake news

From my estimates that subreddit is almost certainly not representative of UCSC. Police raid on the protest had like ~200 arrests, my roommate got arrested, suspended, and now can't take his finals, police are driving around campus constantly, and people are STILL going to the protest. There's ~20000 students, so that's about 1% of the entire student population arrested. And those were the most dedicated people camping there at like 3am when the police came. Estimate the percentage of the entire population that's pro-Palestine compared to the proportion of anti-Palestine posts on the subreddit. I would guess that people not from UCSC are posting a lot of those.

I don't get the Prigo hate. Him and the PMC "de-nazified" 50,000 of the best Nato and Nazi soldiers. I don't see why one 36 hour rebellion should undo all that.

How many applications did you send out to get the first job? Did you have to grind DSA practice problems for the interviews? I sent (spammed) about 400 in the past few months and only got 1 interview which rejected anyways. I haven't graduated yet, so if I can't find anything I was going to do what OP's parents recommend and try to finish a CS MA.

wait for the job market to improve

I hear people saying the programming job market will improve in the US from the low of the 2022 and 2023 era FANG firings, but why would the US job market improve? I don't see why all those programmers with work experience would be removed from circulation and fresh grads still will compete with them. What would change for the market to improve? The Silicon Valley Bank collapse and bailout way back in March 2023 is probably going to cause less startups to be funded in the long run and solidify FANG monopolies in the US even more. Now that the lock downs have been over for a while, I predict the population is going to be lowering usage of social media over the next few years if they haven't already, lowering demand. I would expect the job market to worsen in the long run, not improve, much less return to the 2019-2022 glory days. In the US the only programming field I see that is growing is the AI and GPT stuff.

Btw here's a PDF link to the book if anyone prefers that.

Lemmygrad works, hexbear doesn't.

Lemmy.ml got blocked while I was there, it stopped working one day back in July/August, I forgot.

Lemmy.world was working last time I checked.

It doesn't really matter though since you can see posts on hexbear from lemmygrad.
