So I have finally been accepted to the Recurse Center Fall 2, 2023 batch. I am super excited to spend the next 6 weeks learning, collaborating and growing as an engineer. RC has been a dream for a long time and I can’t wait to immerse myself in the community. Infact, this was my second attempt trying to get in. I will probably write another post reflecting on my initial rejection, lessons learned and contrasting with the second attempt. For now, I am just celebrating this milestone and looking forward to the retreat. Let the learning begin!
My major plan is to dive deep into Databases, Distributed Systems and pick up Rust. I also want to explore the low level world of Machine Learning (tinygrad, Mojo).
- Databases
- Watch CMU Intro to DB videos
- Either complete the CMU Assignments in Go or work on the pingcap talent plan TinySQL and TinyKV
- Rust
- Read the Book
- Complete Rustlings
- Pick up some interesting projects - to be figured out
- Distributed Systems
- Continue reading DDIA
- Discuss System Design Case Studies
- Some exploratory work in low level ML
- Apart from this pair program a lot, meet interesting people, build my volitional muscles and have fun!
