I'm halfway through cs50. I still don't know how to start making a program for my portfolio. Do I really just vibe code it?
>>108553310>cs in 2026what the fuck are you doing anon? go into healthcare or something with better prospects, there are millions of programmers with 20 years experience already applying for every job
Start small. Find a problem you want to solve. It can be simple as an automation for something annoying, or re-create the functionality of a few programs you use together.Don't vibe code it, you won't learn anything from that. You need to learn to do math before you are allowed to use a calculator, same deal.
>>108553310>Should I vibe code a project for my portfolioCan't you find some other field to shit up?
install raylib
>>108553310>starting a CS degree after 2023Yea, you absolutely made the wrong move.
>>108553366how long until LLMs come after senior engineers? i am seriously considering about moving to ai engineer role.
>>108553310>I'm halfway throughThat's a recurring thing with you, isn't it? Just half way, half assed, do nothing, good for nothing.
>>108555453In some industries ~3 years, in others with heavier beaurocracy (like government) it'll be another 10-15yrs before the current batch of seniors is finally squeezed out.
>>108553310aye whats up brother i did cs50 4 years ago and now im a 175k ML engineer. assuming its unchanged, i didn't really get anything portfolio worthy until a couple months after cs50. the final projects are just too basic really. >>108553334this is good advice. i basically built things i wanted personally and then tried to package it into SaaS products and tried to sell those. nobody bought but it built my portfolio enough to get a job with no experience and then i got promoted and a new job quite rapidly because i'm good at it/autistically determined.you really just need time in the saddle. keep building stuff, try to be useful and solve problems
>>108556813i also did their python course, ai course (pre-llm's, idk what its like now), and stanford's algorithms.
People understand that cs50 is a single first semester course and not a CS 'program', right?It is 1/10th to 1/8th of the first year of a CS program.Congrats, you are halfway through the first 2.5% of a CS program.
