Clubs are a good call. Look into societies at your university, find something that you’re interested in or think you could be interested in. Societies are social in a way that seminars and other course activities are not. Don’t worry if you don’t “click” with anyone immediately, keep attending and do your best to engage in conversations.
I also recommend seeking out a university counsellor. Most universities will have them and their advice can be valuable.
Offworld Trading Company. Haven’t played the game but it’s a great sci-fi soundtrack by Christopher Tin of Civ IV fame.
I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those “grown up” games I couldn’t play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it’s like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!
Best of luck, get well soon
As a software developer I promise you that software development is very much not an exact science.
Programs are complex and there are so many different ways of achieving the same thing that all code has problems and gets a bit messy in places. You can test, but it’s not easy to ensure that everything works the way it should.
The best code you’re going to get will probably be in the space industry, but even that will have bugs. The best you can do is make the code robust even when bugs make things go wrong.
In many cases copilot will do just as well as a junior developer. It’s very good at repetitive tasks and filling gaps in your existing code.
Me too! First game console and the only game I had for a while. I played that game to death.
Perhaps you could try friend-finding apps such as Bumble BFF? You’re likely to find others there in a similar position to yourself. It also focuses on 1 on 1 which should be a little easier to manage with social anxiety.
