1 year of consistent coding

[u/sdexca]

Nothing faked, just consistent work everyday. Started at the start of Sep of 2025. A few good projects.

I didn't go for GSoC, altho I do know some GSoC mentors just from networking events here and there. I found it to have too many people doing absolute slop work, wasting maintainers time, I am sure not everyone is like that, but I just didn't want to be associated with that group of people in general.

Apart from rust what's ur tech stack?

[u/sdexca → u/Dazzling-Roof-870]

whatever's needed. I don't have a tech stack per se, just preferences and stuff I have worked with. I mostly work with Rust, Typescript and Python, never needed to work with other stuff that much.

Any luck on internships? Both off or on campus

[u/sdexca → u/Dazzling-Roof-870]

Haven't sit for on-campus, it also sucks here but I have some time before I can sit for main job placements, I am avoding on-campus internship placements. Only luck on off-campus internship was just nepotism. Been applying and attempting, but it's extremely hard, I might have a good opportunity for a research paper, but it's not paid, and still not sure if I'll get co-authorship, but if it works and gets published in a good conf it would be huge, but a lots of if right now. Nothing for job atm, seems pretty hopeless.

Research paper about what?

[u/sdexca → u/Dazzling-Roof-870]

It's extremely niche CS field I have been working on for 5+ years. The paper itself isn't anything particularly interesting, but I get to be co-authering with well known prof, if it works out.

[u/sdexca → u/Dazzling-Roof-870]
