Alright, fess up. Which one of you was it? I'll give you some advice: books are newbie trap. Nobody actually reads them. Just get proper experience, dum-dum.
would you rather have a github profile like that on a CV or not?
Camden Turner
nobody gives a fuck about programming exercises and "projects" from books, and most people don't want to read superflous shit, so no.
Robert Adams
Making a github profile filled with book exercises is like revealing your lame school assignments to the world as if it's something that people should be impressed by.
Your github should be filled with interesting things that tell us about the kinds of things you like to work on, not "I finished this canned example I hope I implemented it right"

Does he have a cute anime girl avatar?
Jaxson Campbell
Say the full story OP, if those were 1/3rd of TAOCP instead, he'd be hired on the spot as a good autistic resource.

Yes, encourage everyone to rely on Microsoft for all computer industry hiring.

Made some stupid JS lib solved some problem

Wagecucks both of you. Must suck not having rich parents and grandparents.

I have most of the code I used for my master thesis on my github since in my country you needed to attach the code for peer review and burning it on a cd seemed retarted

>500 star project What, is-even for JavaScript? That proves nothing.
Ayden Green
Python actually. It's a shitty freshman side project that got big for reasons beyond me. Funny enough my JS projects got zero recognition.
Lincoln Miller
You should expect this. C level questions are there because everyone at some point had some C classes

Every I pray every day that a bunch of CS neets who can't get jobs one day just start shooting up all the tech companies that rejected them and then I can finally die happy.
I know this feel. I am doing a doctorate and I've contributed code to the Linux kernel (the same email I used for applying is on the mailing lists), I have multiple publications with open source code, and have a couple of personal github projects and people still ask me to invert a string in-place on white board.

>impossible to get hired
Nigga what, I'm fucking swimming in job offers. Or do you just have a regular CS degree rather than an actual Engineering one? If so, then you fucked up.

i live in england.
Nicholas Phillips
Maybe the situation is different in bong land, but here in Denmark, they're literally screaming for me. Even got a job offer from Amazon, to relocate to Dublin.
Sadly, I don't think I even want deskjobs anymore. Thinking about studyingRangering in Norway or someshit.
