Can confirm as a Chilean. Santiago gets more expensive as you approach the main part of the city (Which offers more amenities), but overall, living with 1k USD is very doable (specially with the actual conversion rate).
Living in other regions will be MUCH cheaper, but they tend to be more simple (outside the tourists hubs).
If you're not a coder, I highly recommend Flow (https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/) Which is an automation platform designed to be used with MS office products.
There are also a lot of options in Azure , but they require a little bit more of coding (They are incredible powerful nonetheless).
The work done by them has been incredible. Their course on OO with Java was a lifesaver as a student, helping me with a lot of concepts and filling the gaps, to start working as a SE.
While I didn't have the time to complete it, their fullstack course seems also very good, has someone completed it that can share their experience?.
I have been using FastAPI for the last two months (which also is an ASGI server and makes full use of annotations and type hints with mypy) and the experience has been incredible. (https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/)
If Django can now also support annotations and async code I dream of an scenario where apis can be built using this two elements.
Does anybody know a good resource to learn/catch up with this release?
I would argue that the people who see most benefited by these kind of things/bootcamp/courses are people who already have a degree in another field, are expanding their knowledge and/or pivoting to another field.
Same in Santiago (Chile). Even if the pop is more or less 5 million. We have PedidosYa, UberEats, Rappi, instadelivery, Glovo, menuexpress and other local options.
I want to leave my country for work/ study reasons, but I don't know how to start or where to look. I'm a EE graduated from a university here in South America (Chile) and currently working as a SW lead in IoT / fullstack projects.
Every time I look outside (linkedin, /cscareerquestions, HN), there are people with far more experience or qualifications. It makes me feel my ideas are all wishful thinking. That the success that I have attained here is just because "it's a shallow pond" and nothing else.
And when I look at grad programs (master); they require far more money that I have with me right now. I would love to get a master in SWE (part of the reason for going abroad), but I don't feel good enough for a scholarship/financial aid.
The way that I do it now it's just use some simple functional test to GET / POST and measure the time in a pytest script, I'm sure there are better ways to do it.
I wanted to do the same, but I feel a little threatened by the DS clause (That I had to had a course on the topic) - Did you have previous knowledge or just went through?
The scene in Chile it’s really interesting. There is a well nurtured ecosystem of startups going on right now, with programs like STARTUP-Chile, innova and JUMP. With funding coming from government and private parties, who invites anyone in the world (yes, you don’t need a Chilean nationality, only that your startup is based here).
Here are some links with more information, hope it helps:
I'll argue that, as a book for students, it works better in the way of formality and then some informality/real examples/exceptions. it's necessary a base to compare ideas before explaining differences in a model. It becomes easier to understand, and therefore, study.
Hey, maybe a little off-topic. This course seems very interesting (I'm currently studying https://secureyournodejs.com/?p=setup), is there a demo of a course or a sample to see the flow of the class?.
I'd love to signup to 42, specially after E.E. to become a soft. Eng. In fact I've been looking something like this (an internship or codecamp) that will accept someone from abroad. But as always, the need for the in-person signup and test it's what deters me.
Will it be worth it/extremely hard to learn C++ just to use Qt? (I always read here and reddit about how hard/inefficient/easy to fail is everything is in C++)
