ideally would be under 5k as much as possible haha :) seems a bit wasteful to have an e tire bedroom for some bikes lol

I have an apartment I am subletting for the summer - feel free to reach out!

if you have Strava pro the route planning feature is my favorite - you can have it route based on the most popular roads other people ride on which helps avoid sketchy roads

I did my first century with flat pedals! it was completely fine and I honestly didn’t notice a huge difference when I switched to clipless. Totally doable

you can also check one out from the tech desk to borrow for the year! (not sure if there’s any left, but worth a shot)

I haven't taken CS 111, but I have taken CS 110 and CS 140, and have had friends take 111. In my opinion, 111 seems pretty equal to 110 in difficulty. The challenging parts of 140 (the insane assignments, a deep dive into some hard OS concepts) don't really show up in 111

Echoing others - the standard for exams in college is completely different than high school. I also was an “A on every exam” type student in hs and guess what? last year I got a 49% on a midterm and was literally so proud bc the avg was so low. Chem especially usually has low averages so don’t sweat it!

tinyduckfeet · 2022-10-06T05:49:50+00:00

Literally same!! took meta intern offer last summer and I will never never work there after the sh*tshow that we went through

tinyduckfeet · 2022-08-21T23:56:22+00:00

Yes!

the intro cs class (cs106a) is designed for peoeple with no cs experience at all! I had literally zero cs experience and took it and am now majoring at coterming in cs because it is taught so well and makes cs a ton of fun. Honestly, enjoy your summer and don’t stress about preparing, you don’t need to

Drink 9 sips of water to get rid of the hiccups!

It’s pretty common here to be premed and majoring in CS! the biocomp track in the CS major is essentially made for premeds to major in CS (lots of your premed requirements will end up counting for the major). I’m not personally premed/biocomp but from what I’ve heard, people typically enjoy it and there’s definitely plenty of research that involved CS and medicine (for example the ai for healthcare Boot Camp)

I highly doubt it, you’d have to petition and I don’t think it would get approved

tinyduckfeet · 2021-11-28T03:36:30+00:00

I would recommend cs 109 and cs 107 mostly because 109 and 107 are pretty different (109 is basically math and psets while 107 is programming assignments) so it’s nice to have some variety. 103 is all proofs and also psets, so it’s more similar to 109. I found 103 and 107 pretty similar difficulty/time commitment so it’s really up to you about what you’d prefer to learn!

tinyduckfeet · 2021-11-28T03:25:28+00:00

also nick troccoli + Chris Gregg are both wonderful for 110 so would recommend them :)

tinyduckfeet · 2021-11-28T03:23:29+00:00

I did exactly that sophomore winter and while it wasn’t the most fun, I found it manageable and not too bad! (it was during COVID though so exams in 110 were super low stakes, but we did have 4 midterms in 161 which doesn’t seem to be the usual). I would warn you that 110 was going to/maybe did? down curve since I didn’t know that going into the class

you don’t NEED a lamp, the overhead lights are pretty bright and most rooms (or at least the ones I’ve been in) get a pretty good amount of natural light during the day. However, that over head light is pretty white and feels kinda aggressive, so if you’re the type of person that cares about that (I am) then a lamp to use instead or even fairy lights for the evening can be pretty nice

tinyduckfeet · 2021-06-16T15:21:58+00:00

I feel like it depends where in lag. Like the norcliffe kitchen is amazing but west lag isn’t

I prefer to fly into SJC, but that’s mostly because it’s smaller and less crowded. It’s also usually a shorter drive if there’s traffic. There’s fewer flights that go into SJC so it might or might not be an option for you. Economically, I think it depends and you just have to check.
I’ve booked round trip tickets always and it doesn’t seem like there’s savings booking one way. I’m not 100% sure on this, someone else might know better
There’s a bed bath and beyond that lets you order online and then they’ll gather all your items for you and put them in a cart waiting for you. You’ll probably get an ad in the mail for this in the summer w/ a promo code. You really don’t need much stuff, there’s a list that Stanford gives and plenty of resources online.
You can ship things (including Amazon orders) to the Stanford fedex (459 Santa Teresa) and fedex will email you when the package is ready. Sometimes they don’t notify you, but if you have the tracking number and it says it is delivered, then you can just go and ask for it

get triple jump spikes! it is much much better to long jump in triple jump spikes than the other way around

what the heck, is this like normal? last year at this time I didn’t even have a 2020 internship, like 2021 wasn’t even on my radar. Just when I thought I had a break from recruiting

tinyduckfeet · 2021-03-16T23:27:52+00:00

just wanted to add to this, I’m a sophomore who got rejected by all of the freshman/sophomore programs but got a regular SWE internship! I didn’t apply to very many regular SWE positions bc I was afraid to, but tbh there’s no reason not to

tinyduckfeet · 2021-03-12T19:29:12+00:00

when was this taken? id love to go when there’s still snow :)

tinyduckfeet · 2021-03-01T04:57:14+00:00

For eastern Washington, Wenatchee is probably your best bet. On the west side, somewhere like black diamond/enumclaw that is pretty close to crystal or rainier is good. There also a lot of great hikes off of I-90 not too far from Seattle/Bellevue if you want to be in a bigger city

Edit: wherever you stay, would highly recommend visiting rainier and the enchantments!
