Past Week

Mainly spent it writing an assembler for CS 350c. In class we went over more sql stuff and also some html precursor things.

Experience of Class so Far

The class is going pretty well. The group of people I am in has at least one person that supremely competent in every field of the project it seems, which is making it pretty easy (almost too easy). It’s cool how when every person gets to focus on what they know best, stuff gets done relatively painlessly. We also had an Atlassian talk last week which was pretty cool. It was more interesting than the other talks because they went over actual an real-world problem they had and what methodologies they used to fix it; rather than just give a sales pitch of their company that’s mainly buzzwords. It’s nice to see the real-world problems they face because one of the most important things that I would want to know about a company is what I would actually do in the company, and examples of problems I might face are excellent ways to impart that knowledge.

What is in my way

When there’s motivation there isn’t time, when there’s time there isn’t motivation.

Tips and Miscellaneous Advice/Drivel
