A few years ago, I was building a web app using TypeScript and Next.js. The choice wasn't based on some thoughtful architectural decision - I was still learning web development, and all this noise about this full-stack serverless framewor

After 26 years of becoming, I am finally done with formal education. Goodbye Canvas, goodbye Handshake, and goodbye Sheets/Docs/Slides. You will not be missed. Part of me is proud of my achievements here at UCF. I passed the Foundation Ex

I applied online on October 19th, took the OA on December 18th, interviewed on February 7th, and got the offer on the 13th. This was the 4th application I submitted to Amazon throughout my college. In fact, I put another one in November,

T2 is a period of time from May 1st to August 31st. As with all Review & Planning, the post primarily details learnings, achievements, and feelings. I'm not here to share specific events and experiences unless they're critical for context

One of the first things I learned this year is that it's very important to conduct retrospections frequently. In fact, I think the leading cause of poor/unsatisfactory life decisions is the lack of reviews. Because I'm still a student, a

Like every Computer Science student, I was on the hunt for a software engineering experience to put on my resume. I participated in two hackathons, went to career fairs, and submitted hundreds of resumes across the United States. Despite

First, I'd like to make it clear that I hate overly positive posts such as those on LinkedIn. They sound fake as hell - I bet at least half of them are. Everyone sounds like they are forcing a smile to look good to their future employer.

This is my Raspberry Pi 4B with a 6TB external hard disk attached. It currently functions as a photo and video viewer for my family, host of very legally owned movies and TV shows, and home assistant to control all my smart home devices w

I completed my Associate's Degree this year and finally started my Bachelor's this August. A lot changed very quickly after I started my Bachelor's in Computer Science. To learn how I got to this point in life, read How Did I Get Here? I

Think about it. Biomedical researchers don't plan to research cure to cancer for the rest of humanity. City planners don't plan to build infinite number of cities, and washing machine manufacturers don't plan to make infinite iterations o

I think all software developers can agree on spending hours on eliminating the smallest inconveniences for the sake of efficiency (whether it actually improves efficiency is another matter). This is my collection of tools that I use for j

I guess thunders do strike. I passed most of my childhood without a thought of pursuing computer science. In fact, most of it went by without much thinking at all. I just entertained myself by doing whatever I enjoyed regardless of whethe

Alternate title: JS dev shocked to learn Rust is indeed a low-level language Rust is the 5th language I'm learning seriously. First was Python, then C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, and C. I've dabbled with Java, and wrote a bit of Lua, but not

2022 was one of the most unexpected years of my life. I was kept busy with moving to another country and pursuing computer science, dropping my beloved study in biotechnology. In terms of the goals I mentioned in 2021, last year was sort

Web development was the highlight of 2021. I'm now actively learning full-stack web dev, and fairly confident with the front-end. Out of all things, the most important thing I learned was that this is something I'd really enjoy pursuing a

For 2020, I spent majority of it on getting used to the army. I attempted to learn Kivy, tried to get in to reading books on computer science, and learned ALOT for Unity game development. I wish I studied algorithms more efficiently and p

I'm not sure if I'm just falling into a slump or my mental health isn't doing well this month (like how it does every few months), but I haven't done much in the last 2 weeks. I also have real life stuff to blame, like how I was extra bus

Here I am on a streak of being on time. Studies are going smoother everyday, and I'm loving it. 1. C# 2. Algorithms and Data Structures 3. Studying More efficiently I've spent the 2 weeks mostly focusing on learning the basics of C# throu

I'm on time again! Well, a day late, but better than taking a month. I've spent the last two weeks mainly thinking about the direction and the steps I should be taking for this Software Dev Study. 1. Study Direction 2. Unity Engine Study

It's been a bit more than two weeks, but still this is a good time to write this. I don't have much to say for most of the weeks, but I made some big progress in the last few days and I'm excited to share it. Here are the topics of discus

It took almost a month to finish writing my first log, which is not really ideal when the plan was to write about once a week or two. It's not as easy when you aren't used to writing, along with trying to pack it in a pretty busy schedule

It's a little weird to call this series a dev log, because I'm far from developing anything at the moment. I'm currently working on two things; 1. Kivy module Study 2. Bank Account Interest Calculator Development Before I talk about them,

I learned a bit of the widgets last night, and today I tried and see if I could separate the widget initialization in to its own method from `MainWindow.init()`. Long story short, it didn't work. Not only did it not work, my whole UI didn

Today isn't the first day I attempted to learn UI Development. My first attempt goes few months back with Tkinter. Quite quickly, I had hard time with the tutorial I found; It was horrible now that I think back to it, and unhelpful keepin

I've been off this project long enough that anyone can consider it over from my last post. And well, it was. I wrote and completed my thesis on it, presented it in front of all other contestants and judges, and received an award for being

As you can see with the spacing between each entry, I am a terrible student researcher. Perhaps the fact that only 4 was successful got me demotivated. Maybe I was just waiting for my teacher to buy some kind of food for the fruit flies,

I reported the results I got on Day 6 to my teammates, and asked for their help on this day. We spent the day cleaning all tubes clean of food and maggots, and placing fruits in them. A BentWing Type and a Wild Type was found dead, or at

I (Sim Ho) came to school as early as possible to check on the problems we had on the first day. As I've said before, many who we thought died of overdose of anesthetic woke up, except a Wild type, and two female YellowBody type. I had no

Our package arrived about a week ago, but we haven't touched it till today due to various reasons. One, none of the research members cared enough to take the fruit flies with them when the package came. Next day, I (Sim Ho) was told that

Hello, we are the Student Genetics Research Group! I assume you are either a teacher, evaluating the work our team did for the mini-thesis competition, since I'll have linked this English version on the Korean one. Or you are me. There is
