I really enjoyed studying with some YouTube mixes this term.

I wanted to share a few lessons I learned during this co-op search that aren’t immediately obvious:

As a part of CS 348, Introduction to Database Management, we had the option to create a project using a database.

I spent the winter break in Vietnam competing at the World Universities Debating Championship 2024, and also filmed a vlog for it!

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

Last weekend, The UW Debate Society went to McGill Canadian Central Novice Championship 2023 and had a great time!

Project-based learning is one of the most enjoyable and effective ways to learn new skills.

If you haven’t yet, make sure to read A Case for Digital Minimalism.

A while ago, I was reading The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, and came across this footnote.

While I was writing a Facebook post introducing my friend David as director of a debate tournament, I started thinking about the creative writing process and whether AI would be able to do it or not.

Alternative Data Trading using Python, Google Trends, NYT Articles, and Cohere (Co-authored by co-creator Ryan Shen)

If you implement these three tips, you will increase your chances of being accepted.

This is what I learned about studying and lifestyle during my first study term in Software Engineering at Waterloo!

I wanted a simple blog website that was easy to set up and use, and also one where I had ownership and customization: the answer was a Hugo static site hosted on GitHub Pages.

No one really teaches Git and GitHub, but it’s a must-know if you’re ever going to develop software in a group (like at a company).
