Based on previous experience, I am planning to write a devbox script as and when I installed required softwares. I will mostly be working in Python and fedora already seems to have virtual envs and python3 built-in. Anyway can you guys suggest existing scripts for reference

Installing Linux distros on ryzen gigabyte motherboard was a pain in the ass. I gave up on Ubuntu and mintlinux and went onto install fedora with malfunctioning mouse(driver issue, mouse was fine). Basically had to hack around with only keyboard for few hours before I could install the latest Nvidia drivers and got my mouse to work. I don't who is at fault here but the Linux community needs to put enough pressure on vendors like gigabyte/amd to make sure they release updates for their hardwares across os. Installing an Os shouldn't be this hard

The more I learn, the more easily I get triggered at little things.
Read heapq python documentation to implement a min priority queue

Intuitively wrote heapq.push and heapq.pop in my code

Got to know that it's actually heapq.heappush and heapq.heappop
TRIGGERED!

That moment your shell script works after hours of debugging.

Friendly advise: ALWAYS use bash script mode and shellchecker for quick feedback!

Why are we still on the object oriented bandwagon? Having started to learn FP, I feel that we need to be transitioning to FP stacks way more faster given it's huge advantages.

I'm really interested in knowing your opinion

Shortlisted hackathon apps:
1. Transmit strings between two phones using sound.
Why the fuck? Why are we reinventing the wheel?
2. Offline payment services app. Sounds cool but is no way feasible in the real world.

The judge of the hackathon was some old PhD college professor who was yawning at the begining of the presentation who didn't understand what was heroku and didn't even bother to listen.
Lessons learnt:
1. Stick to corporate hacakathons
2. Query regarding the judges of the hackathon

Anything that you do more than thrice a day?

#! Shell script it!

Participating in an hackathon next week with open theme and needs to be a mobile app.(12 hours)

Help me with some ideas fellow survivors

How do I prepare for a tech interview at top companies one year from now?
I'll be pursuing master's in CS from this august and want to prepare myself accordingly. I have a decent understanding of algorithms and data structure. Although I can solve problems at my work easily, I am still worried about my inability to solve medium - difficult hacker rank problems.

That moment you realize that recursion is more natural than ugly iteration with state

At one point I understood a lot of git internals. Now I don't remember shit apart from the small subset of commands that I use everyday.
How does one remember such intricacies.
Also same with regular expressions xD
