I'm a Computer Engineering student with a passion for programming, robotics and cybersecurity!
My workflow/setup consists of:
- My desktop PC which I use for VMs, gaming, and recording videos. I dual boot w/ Arch + Niri and Windows 11 (windows SUCKS it keeps installing updates behind my back).
- Arch is currently for notetaking and my daily driver, whilst Windows is for gaming.
- may/may not try gentoo one day
Dotfiles can be found here.
Unrelated but I found a very sweet video on study techniques over here by Zach Highley.
Just to summarize the tips I gained from this vid:
- Take time to always have fun + get sleep/exercise/eat/chill because being tired/out of shape/hungry/angry is not gonna help studying.
- Try and chill before a test/exam to let your brain chill and forget about the hard stuff and let the info you've been studying sink in.
- Don't worry much about grades unless you enjoy the thing you're studying.
- Effort is not proportial to marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course studying is good, but following the above 2 tips take precedence.
- Try and explain hard concepts to a friend/rubber ducky/anything (Feynman technique >>>>>>>>)
- Be okay with not knowing things. You will figure things out in time.
- Do NOT get hung up on feeling smart and thus thinking you'll blast through things. Life doesn't work like that. Particularly w/ uni, it's best to be ready for a challenge.
- "Fixed intelligence mindset"
- Do NOT ever try memorizing anything. Always link back to understanding and create a chain of thought that you can refer to. Think of this as fault tolerance for your knowledge.
My current activities are:
- Thinking about what projects I should do next
- Grinding uni homework >:(
- Posting lab attempts and Limbus Company videos on my YT channel!
- Working on my portfolio, as well as other projects which you can find here!
