haha wasn't expecting the french response. I wish I spoke it that well. But yeah, the university I was in (usthb) is notorious (in algeria) for having the most difficult exams so stuff like this is expected

thank you for the passionate response!

If you have a bit of time to translate the problems I was talking about from french to english here they are for example: (2022 - exercise 3) [0] solution [1], directory of past exams[2]

Does anyone use prolog in their day to day life? I would love to hear some anecdotes.

My experience with the language from doing a constraint programming course in master's is that programs that can be solved quickly on procedural languages tend to require immense thinking and testing to be done in prolog. It's gotten so bad that all students don't even bother learning it since you aren't given much time during the exam and the problems are very complex.

I'm kind of leaning to do the same things. Eliminating distractions is vital

I feel like this would only increase my anxiety. I'm a bad performer when someone is watching

I'm kind of lacking in the leetcode department. Isn't leetcode used only in FAANG?

> Paragraph 1

Suppose you already have a solid foundation so it shouldn't take you a long time to learn these technologies. You already know some programming languages, algorithms and DSs, SOLID, OOP, databases, Web dev, etc.

> Paragraph 2

I'm less looking for a trick and more about I just want to make money asap with the least overhead possible

> Paragraph 3

So wouldn't learning something like AI be a viable option since most layoffs have something to do with AI?

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Since I barely code, I don't feel confident working a salaried job. Maybe I'm more of an interest driven person than a 9to5er.

I haven't explored other interests as much as I did with software. I chose computer science only because one of my friends in high school wanted it. I remember the day after finishing high school when I was making my choices of university majors and I had no idea what to choose, except for what my friends wanted to do.

No particular dreams. I remember uploading a couple of gaming videos to YouTube back when I was young about some interesting in-game finds. Then eventually made how to videos with adfly links to grab ad money, but abandoned it soon after because of a trauma when I was 16.

Now I want to monetize what I've learned so I have to stick with software. So I'm looking to specialize in something, and I mainly want to invest my time going forward into something that will not be abandoned in a few years.
