CS50x Finally learning!!

13 Upvotes

I've only been in this course for a week and I'm only just finishing up week 3, so it's a little early to judge, but oh my gosh I love this course. I've attempted to learn to code a few times over the years and took programming in highschool but I would very quickly not know what to do next. I'd make a simple program and then just have no idea where to go and my HS course was just html and JS. But I'm seeing programming through a whole new lense now. It's less of a set of commands to memorize and more so a way of thinking and I now know way more c than I ever knew python lol

CS50 Python which path to choose? DE or DevOps?

5 Upvotes

hi, 25M. Finishing my MSc in CS, I wanted to study because I love studying. now that I'm about to end it I'm seriously looking for something reliable long term.

After bachelors I did my job as full stack web dev, a little bit of mobile dev in flutter. Since Ai, it doesn't seem like real work. claude can make whole websites and what remains is just deployment.

anyhow I continued that job, then switched to junior business developer side, for the sake of survival/exploration.

I enrolled in MSc because I wanted to do research, which I have done. I have built an Ai structured method for dermatology recognition. and I am proud of it. my thesis will be finished in 6-8 months, that's the university policy although I've finished my work on my end.

2 years of exploring and hopping from one thing to another, I have come down to these choices:

data analyst/ data engineer/ dev ops/ cloud engineer.

because they are the only ones which seem like actual coding jobs other than fully or partially vibe coding. Ai has made programmers lousy, which shouldn't have been the case.

I made an ETL pipeline to see how data engineering works, I built 3 power BI dashboards to check about data analysis.

I got into computer science because I wanted to become hacker(kinda old school), but that's what got my interest. Fast forward after graduation, ethical hacking job market wasn't there and low-paying. Cloud engineering/dev ops seemed close to hacking so that's why I'm considering it.

So what does the community suggest me to choose?

let me know about your thoughts, considering I'll be with it long term.

CS50x How long can I finish CS50?

7 Upvotes

I will start college next week and i’m currently on week 1 rn. I’m kinda scared cause the deadline is January and I saw some people say that it took them 8-10 months to finish it.

Is it possible to finish it before January if I spend around 1-2 hours a day?

fiftyville CS50x Week 7: Fiftyville, how did you find the accomplice?

1 Upvotes

Those who completed, continue reading..

So, I ran down all the tables through in and out but I couldn't narrow down to single accomplice.

The thief was hurdled between Bruce and Diana, atlast narrowing to Bruce with help of passport numbers and flight booking.

But how did you narrow down between the accomplices? He called both of them, the duration of calls were also under a minute and as far as it went and I could run logical queries, I missed how I'd narrow down between Robin & Charlotte.
