Learning C

I don’t have years of programming experience. The time that I devote to learning languages tends to be allocated to Python or something work related (.Net). However, I’m currently enrolled in a course focused on introductory C. At times I feel as though I have stepped into a time machine.

Higher Education Is a Gateway Drug

If you’re like me, then you’ve been told your whole life the same thing:

Be good. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job.
