A New Journey Begins
Lately I have been feeling pretty demotivated when it comes to working on anything related to technology. I was browsing the top projects on GitHub when I came accross this entire self-guided Computer Science curriculum from OSSU. I love the amount of work that went into putting something like this together.
I am planning to jump in and go through this program. I graduated in 2013 with an MS in CS but to be honest I don’t remember all that much. This feels like the perfect thing to get me out of my tech slump and hopefully inspire me to work on something interesting in the future. I plan to write about my journey here on this blog.
Wish me luck.
