You said, “ Rather than encouraging them to leetcode and practice for interviews, I taught them software engineering practices...”. How do you square that with the reality that many software jobs have leetcode as a gate to an offer? I find myself stuck at this juncture. I am comfortable with software practices, but the reality of these sorts of interviews has me basically trying to figure out how to “hack” the coding…

The reality is that you need to practice that stuff in order to get through the first interview or two at many companies. It is most likely helping with web development even if it isn't obvious how. Kinda like how lifting weights and jogging helps someone be better at their favorite sport. Think of it as cross-training.

I think this is the best frame of mind to keep me pushing forward. Maybe once I’m at the top of the food chain I’ll be able to have some impact on these practices lol Thanks for the advice!

I'm in the process of creating something similar with www.thecloud.coach. My aim is DevOps, though, not software development.

Small world, fellow Brissie resident! How long would the courses take to complete, roughly? Might be useful information on the courses list :)

The landing page is in the design phase, right now :-)

I'm writing the book and making the sure the code is valid. Keep an eye out as I'll post something here about it when I'm done.

I've got a Discord too if you're interested in having a chat? It's on the website.

Last year, I mentored a few students who are learning coding to become a software engineer from non-traditional backgrounds. Rather than encouraging them to leetcode and practice for interviews, I taught them software engineering practices and mentored them to build c0d3.com together as a team. c0d3.com will be a free learning site where other students like them can learn coding and then help improve the site. As a s…

You built this without writing a single line of code yourself? Awesome work by the team!

Exactly! Awesome work :)

what is your username? We will make sure this gets sorted out.

rogercre is the username. Everytime I try to get a password, the link opens a site where in less than half a minute I read "Link has expired. Request a new password reset". Thanks!

THANKS to all the team and I am so happy it could be of help!

I have some experience mentoring students through various platforms. How can I help out ?

" I think it may be too overwhelming for students to learn different languages and learn the high level concepts at the same time. " That would take literally years.

I'm currently teaching a friend of mine "Computer Science" (he means programming primarily, but a bit of theory). He showed me his spreadsheet where he laid out his grand plan for the summer, in which he plans on basically covering the whole of CLRS in a week. I explain things and help him write better code when he sends me stuff he's written but it's difficult to best explain that I've spent years getting to the poi…

The (old, old) joke is...

"You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can't tell him much."

shameless plug: If you want an editor/IDE for JS without installation and with Linux shell, try https://webide.se/ you get access to a dedicated server where you can run Docker, Android emulator, etc. Useful when you are on a Chromebook that don't have Linux support, or want to code on a mobile phone or tablet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

really cool. Did you build the whole thing yourself? it has so many functionalities I can get lost digging and playing into this.

I've made it for myself and have been using it for my daily dev environment. It's very fun to work on it so I've put a lot of time into it. Just have to implement e-mail/IMAP support with bayesian filters and I can call it a real editor ;)

What programming language do you consider worthy of the 'coding' title?

More than one.

code noun

(COMPUTER)[U] computing specialized a language used to program (= give instructions to) computers: The children are learning to write code.
