coding is hard...

so as most of you know I recently quit my job as a data scientist and I'm trying to get into sweet and for sweet if you want to get into sweet you have to do these coding interviews and these coding interviews they're not supposed to test you if you know how to code or if you're good at software engineering they don't care about that like coding is basically pure intelligence they're testing your pure intelligence your IQ you don't actually care if you can do the actual job or if they think that you can do you know build their infrastructure what they care about is if you could like reverse a linked list or solve any of those coding problems and I want to stress that these coding problems are just IQ tests they're not meant to show them how good you are at building infrastructure or anything so I just want to tell people who aren't initiated in this suite interview process just so that you guys get some context like basically someone with no software engineering skills can pass these interviews because it's kind of like a math test you know and I'm trying to do that anyways I have to wake up and I didn't think of a transition but here's an ad before we continue I just want to say that this video is sponsored by Skillshare now they have a great promote going on if you sign up using the link on the description because they will give you two months of premium for free and here's a little secret most courses on there you could definitely finish in less than two months Premium Membership gives you access to all their classes and communities you can learn anything from design business coding and even data science Skillshare is the perfect place to keep your mind fresh and keep growing by learning a ton perfect for your new year goals now 2019 is a year of growth and Skillshare is a perfect place to do that Skillshare is super affordable with an annual subscription of less than $10 so I took a couple of classes and I was pleasantly surprised by one of their it's actually data science class taught by Frank Cain and oh he's a X Amazon employee and it was pretty pretty good like I was very very impressed because the thing that's great about his class was it was actually fully comprehensive it taught you from the basics of like Python to teaching how to do linear regression to like k-means clustering it teaches you everything unlike you know a lot of other data science classes where they're just kind of like vague and they're just talking about certain things this one actually teaches you step by step on how to become a data scientist it's basically what data signs bootcamps teach you and you can learn all of that using that course which is really good anyways the first 500 people to click on the link in the description will get two months of premium membership for free and then you could take any classes you want so check it out yank in case you don't know what I did I I snapped my fingers at my facial hair went away wait let me show you see facial hair I know is clean literally the only reason I shave is for this video because I haven't stepped outside in like weeks so as I was saying I'm basically decoding all day every day by the way I just want to say maybe not a really good idea to quit your job before getting an offer so so yeah don't do what I did because like the unemployment life you know it's killing me you know I'm so disgusting and unmotivated you know it's just like I feel like basically just really hard to motivate yourself well you know have a job so wake up a like 1:00 p.m. nowadays like holy [ __ ] it really Sean's my day right and then all I do is try to solve these coding interviews and holy crap n they're getting really hard nowadays yeah I procrastinate like a lot and I don't even I'd open wear proper clothes anymore because you know I don't need to go out and I start doing like really weird [ __ ] oh [Music] and I have to cook for myself now because from all these years working for Fang companies you just become a man-child you know I'm a big man child I have no idea how to cook so because of that making food and eating food it takes super long right and then all that time I could have used for like recording so I started wearing an Apple watch because I bought one because I'm rich then then I realize I'd open one Apple watch like I hate watches I hate wearing watches it brings no value to me it's pretty useless but I said to myself maybe it's because I didn't buy the latest version maybe that's why I think it's useless like I didn't buy the Adam s watch because of that it's useless so I think the idea is that I had to spend more money to make it useful but I am trying to make use of it now but I'm kind of embarrassed to say but like it's an it's an apple it's an Apple watch 3 yeah I feel so ashamed saying it because like it's an older generation no no I'm sorry to disappoint you guys but like I am trying to force myself to exercise throughout this process because I know that if you exercise then your brains could be more sharp and if your brains marché sharp you perform better in these coding interviews right so I try to complete those activity rings but I realize these things are not very well calibrated because um oh yeah for example like one time I was in my room and that was um I was watching pornography and I was also jacking off and by the way a jack off of my left hand which is also the hand I put my watch on oh yeah I jack off my left hand because you know you can use it right hand for the mouse so that I could skip through videos so it makes more sense yeah it was and then suddenly my watch sends me this notification it said I see you're working out do you want to record this workout session I thought I was doing the ellipticals you know like like like that this sighs right so I thought it was really really funny cuz you know I thought it was funny it's probably not that funny for you guys but for me it was really funny like you really had to be in the moment to appreciate it so basically what I end up doing is I date I don't even need to exercise because all I have to do is watch these videos and I get my thirty minutes worth of exercise done every day so I'm basically cheating yeah so basically coding it reminds me of it really reminds me of school actually like during finals season where you're just at home sitting your room cramming studying practicing it really reminds me of that but I suck man I really suck like I can do the easy problems I was never good at brain teasers but yeah I just got a grind anyways I just want to update you guys on my life and what I'm doing but yeah I mean I say all this [ __ ] but in the end I kind of like it right it's very nostalgic you know it's it feels it feels nice like when you finish problems when you do these problems and you get it right it feels like practicing for a math test or something very nostalgic like basically what I do is I do this Pomodoro style thing right so like I saw one problem I watch one episode of anime I solve one problem i watch one episode I solve one problem i watch five episode of anime to finish the season if you're also like me doing the coding interview process I just want to say yeah don't give up it's hard it's hard for everyone but it does get easier and you know what they say Ali Co today keeps the unemployment away so see ya k2 tripping knuckle Phenom suggest it simple weapon on me
