Roses Are #FF0000

Dropping the truth Bobo Style

daily reminder ~

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Me:*does badly on something im supposed to be good at*

Me: Well i guess this is the end, im not good at anything anymore, i need to rethink my whole life and also die

In whatever you choose to do, do it because it’s hard, not because it’s easy. Math and physics and astrophysics are hard. For every hard thing you accomplish, fewer other people are out there doing the same thing as you. That’s what doing something hard means. And in the limit of this, everyone beats a path to your door because you’re the only one around who understands the impossible concept or who solves the unsolvable problem.

When learning a new language don’t waste your time copying down syntax, it will come naturally after practice. But, if you really need syntax help badly then I can reassure you that most high end languages are heavily documented.

I say this so that you don’t waste all your time taking notes on basic syntax, instead use your study time to copy down any relevant code examples in the textbook, tinker with them and analyze them, comment on them. Practice, practice, practice.

The only time you should take notes is for flowcharting or pseudocode. And of course, notes on concepts.
