Okay, who am I kidding. You canât escape my jokes ⊠just as much as I canât escape how…Continue Reading Managing Engineering Time Abound
Itâs a Tuesday night. Youâre on your phone. Swiping away from your problems. Swipe, swipe swipe ⊠youâre swiping them all right. Trying your hardest to put your best self out there. Waiting to find that perfect match. Theyâre out there, and you know it.

Your phone dings – itâs a message from your mate. âWhere are you?â You step off of your bus and bump into a friend on Symonds Street. âI havenât seen you in months!â You scamper to your 8am ELECTENG 101 lecture, one minute late. âYou must go to the overflow room.â Or maybe none of…Continue Reading Study Spaces (or, Semester 1 in Review)
Whatâs the most humbling experience youâve had lately? And, wait, what does that have to do with software engineering? And why am I doing this weird kind of intro again? Let me explain.
