A programmers guide to TMS

Hey guys,

I just made a blog post about TMS in programming.

Take a look: https://jessenerio.com/how-to-code-forever-a-programmers-greatest-guide-to-rsi/

I hope it helps anyone here who s into software engineering.

 

What a well written, cohesive piece of writing with amazing links to articles & resources .

Thank you so much for taking the time to blog & share your insights & research here.

This is not only for people with RSI but for everyone who has TMS.

Thank you.

 

Great site! As someone with 40 years in the software engineering business, I have observed an epidemic of the CTS/RSI diagnoses that in reality had nothing to do with the strain on the programmer's hands, but instead were the result of a strain on the programmer's nervous system and brain. We need to educate the public! Incidentally, I just posted a thread on the same subject:

Good flex, that is amazing!

Me personally, I am trying to get in the software engineering industry.

Unemployment is why I started that blog.

I have been unemployed for 1 year and 1 month and have applied to 1300+ jobs. I get about 1 interview every 100 applications.

Once I exhaust the days job applications on LinkedIn I just start writing about my passion.

In my graduating class no one has gotten a job yet. Apparently its difficult to get into at this time.

I got my Master's in Computer Science, very difficult and learned a lot, taking ~16 Computer Science courses, implementing many coding projects, publishing papers and all that.

But many applications don't ask about education. They seem to ignore it and ask for experience.

I even did the Grind75 and am beyond that at even ~120 LeetCode questions in top recommended problems.

I am curious, what do you think of my situation?

 

Have you participated in any open source projects, hackathons or volunteer unpaid coding jobs? Those can be a great source of connections within the industry. Another one way into the door are internships, although since you already graduated, it may no longer be available.

If you want, you can send me your resume via direct message, I can look at it and maybe help you improve your resume.

 

Aww,

You are so nice. Ill send you a DM about the resume.

Yea I did volunteer code contributions to an open-source project/community.

It is in my resume, ill show you

 

Sadly this article is only available to subscribers.

 

I shared a gift link, should be accessible by non-subscribers. Try again, it should be good for 2 weeks : https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/10/carpal-tunnel-syndrome-prevalence/675803/?gift=5vcLlTt4c-vgAdVc_majBrS-KnqfPx0NDBOVy3_nE4I&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share (Gift Article: Whatever Happened to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?)

 

Weird. It says "only for subscribers" but I can read all of it? Cool to get published like that behind a paywall.

 

I can gift up to 5 articles per month. Link is good for 2 weeks.

 

Thanks Tamara. i can read it now.

would love to see your resume. My company is looking for people like you! Bout to head out for errands, but have your writing open for later today. Thanks!

 

Thank you. That is an encouragement.
