  • I’ve always avoided spoilers. To me, it seems that someone is displaying a lack of self control if they read/see them. Be patient and enjoy the thing when it’s released, don’t ruin it for yourself in advance.

    I seem to recall that there was a game release over the past couple years where the players were angry that the game was what they saw in the spoilers. People actually ruined it for themselves and then got mad at the studio for not miraculously having new content that wasn’t spoiled.

    I have very nearly accidentally spoiled an episode or two of Doctor Who. I try to avoid any place that talks about the cool thing just before the cool thing comes out.




  • As someone who has hired lots of CS students, the successful ones tend to:

    -Have a public GIT repo where they have all of their personal and class projects publicly available. You put this on your resume and potential employers can browse at leisure.

    -Have done a student group like robotics or satellite club.

    -Have interned somewhere with a name. Doesn’t matter what the job is, just get that name on your resume. Sadly, what you know and can do is less important than where you interned and overworked or unmotivated hiring managers really need bullet points that they can grab on to and then move on.
