What sort of 'impressive' programs can someone who's graduating masters in Computer Science write to put on a github to show potential employers that it looks like I at least have half a fucking brain.
Shit like 'program that compares 2 files and returns all the differences'; practical and small but impressive at a junior dev level.
there are tons of diff algorithms and some of them are really impressive, e.g. Meyers Diff algo blog.robertelder.org/diff-algorithm/ imho having simple documented implementation and library of non-trivial and fairly optimal algorithm is never a bad idea

Where did you fuck up, codemonkey.
Adam Hill
Sup Forums clone
Robert Price
fuck the job market
Blake Perez
it's hard to get even one star for your stuff
Josiah Jenkins
Work on something people actually need for once.
Christopher Cook
Make something useful and practical, like a decent scraper/parser... it doesn't have to be hard, it has to work, to be optimized and to be useful.
Matthew Powell
if you don't want to just join some company and want to keep building a portfolio instead, join some open source project. It's not that simple to come up with something useful and innovative on your own
Elijah Johnson
LMFAO how is making a diff tool impressive
James Morales
There's a function called diff for that ya retard. I'm in my senior year and we're expected to be programming in the Unix kernel.
The fuck have you been doing this whole time?
Nathan Carter
I have 200 stars on one of my projects. A-am I going to make it?
Chase Garcia
>to be programming in the Unix kernel. Still? They did that back in 2002 when I got my undergrad. I guess Rob Pike was right.
Juan Clark
FizzBuzz
Landon Brooks
Write a program that can find clustered planar drawings in polynomial time.
Nathan Garcia
It's important to be able to program at a system level I suppose. At least I've been learning some important stuff. Senior year of undergrad btw.
Downside is my professor doesn't seem to know any of what's going on so it's just kinda working there.
Isaac Davis
why to go outside to the real world? get into a phd program and delay life for another 5 years. nobody is hiring, anyway.
Joseph Cox
pls respond
Luke Jones
>he fell for the Masters sans PhD meme You're overqualified for codemonkey jobs and underqualified for academia
Lmaoing at ur life
Aiden Harris
Your school is good. I go to a sh/t school. I wasted my time here and it attempting to catch up before I graduate... but I'm screwed for at least until I find a job and dedicate to it.
Lincoln Sanders
with a master degree you shouldn't fall for the sithub meme. no serious employer reject you for not having a shithub
Samuel Clark
very nice, what type of project? A few years ago I did an absolute meme project and got 60 stars. Made me pretty proud tbqh although I'm not a software dev
Elijah Torres
I laughed really hard at this
Alexander Peterson
>in Computer Science >at least have half a fucking brain
Pick exactly one.
Luis Powell
A new optimization algorithm that's way more efficient.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
all the algorithms have already been done.
it's really hard to come up with something new
Luis Thompson
Use A* to play snake Use meme-nets to play Tetris Write your own RSA/AES implementation with proper padding and side channel attack mitigation.
Maybe in web development but remember the founder of grunt (I think it was grunt) couldn't get a job at Google.
Julian Thomas
Write your own compiler and operating system from scratch as to offer prayers and hymns unto the Lord.
Luke Cooper
homebrew. He couldn't get a job at Google because he didn't know how to do technical interviews.
Nathaniel Butler
write something with a shitload of buzzwords. Make sure to include the terms big data, data science, big data analytics, AI, neural net, deep learning, VR, etc... The best possible thing would be a VR app that uses data science techniques and learns using a neural net. Good luck.
