2022 marks a shift for me from industry software engineering to research. I’m hoping I get accepted to a PhD program but if not I will likely leave my cushy job and spend time some getting myself into computer science research (being broad on purpose).
All in all, I’m really excited for next year. I feel good about where I am in life in most facets.
Happy new year to you and everyone else around reading this as well! I hope the next year has some joy for everyone!
- mattgreenrocks 5y agoSounds great! I do applied research in industry and love it. Any interests you’re looking to pursue?
- rgrmrts 5y agoNeat! The last two years I’ve been pretty interested in programming language theory and operating systems. I re-discovered lisps and started toying with them. I also started learning more about BSDs and openbsd in particular and toyed around with an openbsd remote server. I think my general interest would be systems engineering, but more specifically language theory and operating systems. What kind of research have you been doing?
- mattgreenrocks 5y agoThat’s quite close to my interests: PLs, runtimes, and general system programming. I’m always looking to hone a more holistic view of the computer by blending those interests. For my research, I’ve been doing a lot of work into improving coverage-based binary instrumentation, exploring what dynamic analysis can do, and investigating a new take on grammar-based fuzzers.
