I taught myself computer science outside the traditional academic path. I never attended an elite university; my university is relatively unknown. But I’ve deliberately gone deep into areas most engineers never have to confront: operational semantics, domain theory, denotational models, abstract interpretation, bisimulation, partial-order semantics, and categorical models of computation.
I spend my time studying the internals of schedulers, renderers, and execution engines, trying to understand their mathematical foundations
And honestly, all of this has been driven by my love for the game. I don't need an elite university, a prestigious title, or external validation to keep going.
I'm almost obsessive about keeping myself under pressure.
CS is more exciting than ever before
do CS by your own :)
+ "you know what i'd really like?"
- "tell me"
+ "a website"
- "...we can do a website"
+ "a real website, not some claude generated neon slop, a real website"
- "i'll make you a very good traditional handmade website, one that is built with dozens of snippets from stackoverflow"
@NuelkO Oh I see! Yeah, it seemed to me that it was more Philosophical-oriented, given the "Thinking and Reasoning" title of the book.
Great objective anyway, that's a very interesting and smart skill to acquire! Happy learning!
Your job is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary. Don’t box yourself into roles. Don’t identify with your job. Nobody cares if you’re a software/ai/cloud/anything engineer, your knowledge might be obsolete in a few months and you could get laid off next year, who knows.
Build multiple income sources. Skill up. Try to escape the rat race. Play the system. Cheat. Commit fraud. Lie on your resume. Whatever. You’re not winning this game by staying a good, obedient employee.
@eas4ai@julianhyde Thanks for the list! Trying to use a proper debugger in Rust has been really painful! 😅
I was waiting for the release of a debugger called ferros that was supposedly “Rust native”, but it seems that the project went stale…
Não entendo como o movimento maker n faz mais o barulho que fazia antigamente. Hoje em dia é possível comprar componentes da China, recebê-los em 7 dias, jogar td no Claude, escrever seu firmware, modelar um case 3d, subir um servidor e personalizar td para as suas necessidades
