CodePath – The Solution to Tech’s Leaky Pipe Problem?
Continuing on in our series of low-stakes blog posts, I decided to blog about CodePath, an organization that helps underserved youth become software engineers. I currently serve as a TA for this program. One of the things that I am really passionate about is something called the leaky pipeline. As computer science depends on cumulative…

Game Development has always been interesting where developers push the limits of the hardware so as to create the most beautiful product possible. This sometimes means restricting the player…

We as developers communicate with this module through the use of GUI tools on Unity hub.…

Indeed, BLS asserts that the field will grow by 22% from 2020 to 2030, much faster than average with a median salary of over 6 figures.…

Do we know why we’re doing this? A post on the golden calves of software development
Today, I want to talk about various practices that we as software engineers follow as a matter of tradition. As such practices go, we sometimes ascribe meaning to these practices that deviate from the original purpose of the practice. These practices sometimes consolidate into “best practices” or “cultural axioms”. To reify this, I’ll present a…

It is also the busiest quarter I have where I will take 19 credits, the maximum allowed at Oregon State. I got started with computers when the world was transitioning from…
