In practical medicine you usually don't have access to unlimited test results cus of time/costs. Also people lie about medically relevant things, which doctors can pick up with social cues.

“Networking” is silly. Superficial conversations w people you’ll 99% never speak to again.
Most of my career and $ was built with people I became friends with, with no expectations, and one day we realized we had something to offer each other.
Things are more fun this way too.

Waterloo's reputation is for great co-ops, but these days most students find the best jobs themselves
with knowledge gained largely through self-study via side-projects.
At this point, seems like Waterloo is largely a good filter for a particular mindset/caliber of people.

AI Hardware startups seem stupid.
Why can’t this be an app on my existing smartphone.
New hardware should mean unique sensors. And if u need them, you can likely find them on a smartwatch.
Happy to be proven wrong.

In my CS degree I’ve probably taken about 1 useful course a semester. Almost 1/2 my courses are electives.
I feel like an undergrad can be 2 years but that’s just not economically incentivized for universities.

Was told I was being stupid skipping a 40% final (by my mom)
So I wrote it but only added 2 hours to my time (1.5 studying + 30min in the exam room) for a final total of 9.
I made videos of the entire 9 hours spent on the course. Might make a YouTube video out of it for fun.

When I was 15, I was often surrounded by 20 yo.s telling me I was so young. This often made me worried about not being “young” anymore when I was 20.
Now I find myself 20, surrounded by 25 yo.s telling me I’m young.
Seems, at any age, you’ll be young to someone.

Social media isn’t social - it’s performative.
Where’s the chitchat, the banter, the easy laughter?
We made something new.
Push-to-talk, whenever you want.

Now my degree is actually useless. Time to collect $265k to self fund and claim a visa without having to raise.
Or buy/borrow 10% of a friends startup
HUGE Immigration News for International Entrepreneurs!!
If you own 10%+ of a US startup entity founded <5yrs ago with $264k+ of funding, you+spouses of up to 3 co-founders can come work in the US for 2.5yrs with renewal to 5yrs.

Never thought I’d see something better than Stack Overflow, but Chat GPT has been ridiculously more helpful lately.
Ya sometimes the answers use slightly outdated syntax (so does SO), but you can just tell it that, or easily make minor modifications yourself.
