- adwhit 10y agoI spent a lot of time learning new languages and filling in my missing computer-science education. You can do a lot in 3 months if you have no distractions! I was probably there 60 - 70 hours a week and have never managed to hit such a sweet spot of motivation, inspiration and productivity before or since. My PhD was a colossal waste of time in comparison. Actually it made me totally re-evaluate my ideas about education in general. A random selection from memory: * Emulator and debugger for a particular embedded hardware (MSP430) * Website that scraped Rosetta Code and displayed it in a less-annoying form * Genetic algorithm for graph problems * Nand2Tetris course * Two weeks trying and mostly failing to learn Haskell (took me another year to really 'get' it) * All sorts of other fun/dumb stuff. Boggle solver! Endless project Euler problems! Super Meat Boy!
