I am in my last year of school, aiming for a career in CS, this means I will likely enter the job market in ~5+ years.

With the contracting CS job market and the rise of AI, it seems like it will be a lot harder to get entry level positions, I have seen loads of posts on HN of people struggling to find jobs, even at salaries below the market rate.

Is there anything I should be doing to get ahead of the competition, apart from the obligatory "build a portfolio" & "leetcode", would getting into a better university help/ what about paid degree apprenticeships? Any particular uni courses I should do? I have a few large scale (fairly unique) applications that I have yet to publish/ make public, any advice on this?

Over the years, I have singed up for over 500 online services, I have left sensitive information all over these online accounts.

I recently started combing through my (15k) emails, deleting every service that I have singed up for.

Is their a way I could automate this process?

Is their a way I could find all my accounts on the internet (since some companies never email you)?

Are their any other OPSEC tips I should know?

Hi, I am creating a productivity app, it was very loosely inspired of this project:

I want to use the "fluent" design system by Microsoft, It is in the same field of Microsoft's new "Loop" app -a notion clone-, therefore it may look very similar on first glance to the average consumer since it uses the same design system. Should I switch the design system (flutter) to something else since to avoid confusion and to differentiate? I intend to market this app meaning it will appear on those "Best ... lists" meaning people will mainly see screenshots of the app.

** PSA: Mainly a personal project, I do not intend to monetize it, my reasoning for wanting external growth isn't financially motivated **

Do you have a failed business, career, or "general" venture? If so, I would appreciate it if you could provide a brief description or a link to the project, as well as answers to the following questions:

What is the threshold for failure in your specific case?

Was there something that implicitly caused the failure that you have now realised?

Did it result in a net loss in terms of financial investment?

Given you had unlimited resources (including money) & if you had an abundance of free time how would you raise a child to give it the best chance as success & fulfilment in life.

What gender & why? Would you do anything to prepare like research any topics? Would adjust your diet/ health before you conceive to yield better genetics? What would be your preferred age of parenthood?
