The main reason i am working so hard is to afford the extra income to buy my parents a car. we are first gen immigrants and they never bought a car that wasn't 7+ years old toyota. I know my dad is really into Tesla and it hurts me so much to think that he could never get one.

The issue with CS is that people think the degree is a web dev degree.
CS education is fake. Most CS grads can't explain web2 architecture - browser policies, cookies, single threaded JS event loop, wasm, etc. They can't write a simple HTTPS client from scratch which has its own socket layer and SSL handshake. Churning out leetcode solvers.

Why is go slower than java?. Have i been lied to this whole time?.
More languages, more insights!. A few interesting takeaways:. * Java and Kotlin are quick! Possible explanation: Google is heavily invested in performance here. * Js is really fast as far as interpreted / jit languages go. * Python is quite slow without things like PyPy.

i lowkey miss college. i used to do 16 hrs x 5 days studying sessions. i sadly don't need to anymore. i wonder if i still have that dawg in me.
