Dear Rands/Michael, I understand your point of view. Having just gone to a new university after 2 years in the old one, the struggle is but so real. Your post is really inspirational for me to overcome this disappointment. Btw, I have a request. Can you make a blog post describing on how to be a software developer? I want to be a software engineer myself, and I think I speak for a lot of readers that we want to learn about your journey and how you succeed. It would be awesome if you can show us what books you read, what websites you learn from ( constantly improvement) and how to be a capable software developer. I'm a complete beginner, learning a different discipline from CS in college, but love it and want to study it on my own. But I think your recommendations should not just be for me, but for every reader out there that wants to follow your footsteps. Thank you.
