the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.
tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with
Probably goes without saying, but, I’m here from Reddit. After just over 13 years there, seeing the slowly declining quality of posts and information, I’m hopeful that a smaller de-/less- centralized community-of-communities can give the old reddit experience :) And even if it can’t, any new experience will be great!
I’m mostly a programmer/gamer, studying for my MSc in computer science, but I’m thinking I might switch to a hybrid compsci/hardware topic for a PhD (something like static guarantees in HDLs is very interesting to me, but idk yet). I also quite like billiards and have been trying hard to learn French for about 2 years now.
