Hi there more experienced person, would you mind explaining the intricacies of the madness for a lowly n00b?

Is it just 'cause it’d need the client to be constantly running to output the scheduling? So like, you set it to schedule a post and then you have to actually open it as an app before it would actually work if it wasn’t running in the background when the time ticked over? Is there more to it? Any and all details you’d be willing to explain would be appreciated.

Regardless, I hope you have a lovely day and best of luck with everything you’re doing!

No worries! I have the same alert wise. Prefer to check in my own time.

Sent you a friend request on Discord. :)

Would you mind terribly if I messaged you for some advice/with some questions? It’s ok if not, your posts have given me a bunch to think about/work on! But if you have the time and inclination I’d love to pick your brain. :)

EDIT: Oh and tyvm for your response! Loads of great points :D

DOUBLE EDIT: Incase you’re not ok with me messaging!

Can’t see your post while I respond so apologies if I miss anything.

1. Resume: Sugar, I’ll get on that. I only have a single one with my previous job exp and college/a couple courses on it. Need to do more mid to large scale projects for a portfolio (that’s the job for the next couple weeks!)

2. LinkedIn: I have one, haven’t updated it in a long time and don’t have many connects but should be able to get a whole bunch when the new semester starts in September. I’ll ask some friends who I’ve done some work for to verify my skills - think I only have one in Java rn. Will update. 👌

3. Open Source/VCS: Do you mean making projects myself and throwing them online, or joining other ones to help? I’m a bit anxious about doing the latter but have been trying to gear myself up to it. The former, I’m currently designing a couple small to mid tier projects for a portfolio that I was planning to put up on GitHub. Would that work? Outside of that, I’ve been trying to ensure I make as many commits as I can - though realistically I only have about 4 green boxes a week since May-ish and recently took a 2 week break to study for something else.

4. Stack Overflow: Never joined Stack Overflow - but I’ll consider doing so per your advice.

5. Leetcode/Hackerrank: I’ve kind of shot myself in the foot by having switched accounts… Repeatedly. I think my newest one is about 2m old? I’ll work on trying to be consistent and burning my way through what I can. Need to go over algos again pretty badly anyway.

Out of curiosity, on your first point about the mid-senior; do you think that’s nepotism, CHA skill or something else that allows them to get to that position without the skills to back it up?

Also for clarification on your second point; by good enough do you mean the job is good enough, or my own skillset?
