Software Development and Programming Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

Yesterday, I received the instructions for the classes final* project. Topic-wise, it's pretty open ended. Pick a product or a business\industry (can be made up) and make a site (min. 7 pages). And a bunch of requirements from stuff I've learned over the last 4 weeks.

I'm making a website for a fictional custom PC company. I've already thought of a few features that I can put in to hit some of the project requirements.

*Passing this project means I go on to a proper bootcamp.

I presented my project on Friday. No grade: just pass or fail... AND I PASSED! I've been trying to study before the bootcamp starts. I've been working on javascript problems off of https://edabit.com/ . Even the easy ones are giving me trouble.



Edit: There one breh in our class who didn't pass. 1 out of almost 20. I felt bad for him.

Somebody explain how in the hell my skills and qualifications don't fit for an entry level position in where I tailored my resume and touched on each and every requirement they listed . This shyt has me wanting to just start knocking people out. I mean there is literally no reason for this constant rejection.

Got off the phone with an HR person. She said my resume stood out because it wasn't just Java focused (Java role). She made it out to be like I have a shot but she might have been getting ahead of herself. We'll know for sure when my info gets to a technical person.

I have an online screen for a telecommunications giant that I need to knock out before the weekend is over. I know it's bad but I haven't been doing any interview prep in well over a month now. I'm just setting myself up for failure That shyt is just so tedious though, the not fun side of writing code. I'm gonna have to want to change otherwise I'll be sat up here all day forever.
