I built an agent harness that doesn’t actually code. I’ve been wanting something that can teach me as I go. Enter codetutor. https://github.com/jaketothepast/codetutor It’s an eMacs package that starts from a spec and

Super valuable advice. The program I’m considering has VLSI design, chip architecture, and FPGA work all at the graduate level. I don’t know if the school has fabs but it’s seemingly well known and well funded so maybe? As a part of this de

This is exactly where I’m at with my CS career. I am tired of abstraction. I want to be able to strip it away and work at the lowest levels of the stack. I’ve worked in embedded real-time environments before and found working with the syste

now I’m convinced that a certain senior engineer at a very well known tech company had this as an instruction manual. I’ve experienced each of these multiple times from the same person! On my own though, I’m certainly guilty of the 100 roun

Hello fellow tri-cities resident. I probably know you :) Can't say I disagree with much. Though my interactions with Niswonger Children's Hopsital have been great. Ballad itself? not so much.

It may be time to finally learn it. I've standardized on Python, Clojure and C# of all languages (Julia for fun) but Rust may help me dive deeper into systems level problems.
