1/ Alright, folks, so an update to my Astro grad applications journey for Fall'22:

I didn't get accepted anywhere (bummer!), off of the 19 Ph.D. programs that I applied to, (harder than hitting a wall head-on!), and some master's plans (damn!), and my backup plans (Woah wtf!)

I always wanted some tool to auto-generate architecture diagrams for my codebase, so I built one!

@cartilage_ftw Great to hear that! The instruction this year is a bit more asynchronous and we are planning to publish pre-recorded short sessions instead of doing the sessions live, and having a mentor hour for doubts and 1:1s in the upcoming weeks. So the timezone shouldn’t be a hassle
