When I think back to my school days, it just feels like a huge waste of time.
Sure, we've been taught a ton of things during that time, but imagine how much more you could have learnt with the right support... with someone who would actually listen to _your_ questions, instead of just going through the subject materials? What if someone actually fostered your personal interests and talents?
Of course that wouldn't scale, but with kids being so eager for knowledge, it just feels like lost time.
realizing you didn't have a specific audience in mind after writing 30+ pages, and then having to revise it all in two days is a nightmare
at least I've learned this at the end of my graduate school career, and not at the beginning when I had way more time to learn and grow and fix things π’
rip me
π Maybe it's time to fork the US? Founding fathers were no doubt great and no hate but uhh project is totally unmaintained for so many years yet critical to so many-- I've sent pull requests and filed thoroughly investigated issues but have yet to see so much as a rudely worded comment+close, nevermind a thoughtful response. If project shows life again, can merge back for sure! π#WhatDoYouMeanACountryIsNotAProgram #SkillTransfer #LawsAreKindaLikeRFCSIfYouSquintHardEnough
Applies in undergrad too, tbh
Wish I would have learned that a long time ago and not followed the advice of what other people thought was best for me vs. my own ambitions
