My larva injects are sub-par.
I miss way too many overlords.
I often forget baneling speed.
Despite playing ~8 2v2s a day with the same partner, we have been unable to consistently stay in masters.
I just started doing 1s again, and can't even get out of platinum.

But, I just got a job as a software engineer at the Googleplex.

fuck yeah brag blog.

Not yet. Apparently, they'll give me a list of teams that want more people, and I pick 3 that I want, and 3 I don't want, and then they give me one based on that.

Tutorial please.



The tutorial is simple: find a project that interests you. I haven't taken a Computer Science course since highschool- I was a physics major in college. You learn CS by working on something (for me it was games), and saying, "I want to do this... how can I do that?" and you work at it until you figure out something clever. The compiler is a better teacher than any professor.

I believe that there is no subject that comes close to CS in terms of ability to teach oneself, if you find something that interests you enough that you want to figure it out.

Also, JoGL bindings. OpenGL for java. You'll want to keep programming when you're making 3d games.

This. This guy speaks the truth.

I took all of one CS course in college, graduated with an electrical engineering degree. Now i work at a compiler company, arguably one of the more prestigious CS jobs out there. Learned how to code by wanting to learn how to code.
