March 2024 was my first attempt at Harvard's CS50x. But I rushed through Weeks 1-6, watching the lectures on 1.5x speed. I was learning in a hurry to prepare for The Programme's technical tests. To my surprise, I passed all 3 of them! But failed at the 4th round which was a face-to-face interview. 

After I got over the failure, I restarted CS50x in May with strong motivation. In normal speed this time. Then stopped mid-October, I don't remember why. I only got up to Week 4 in 5 months, boo!

This year I'm re-restarting it proper. Even started taking notes! I had forgotten, but this was how I learnt to code during COVID times. Hand-wrote code, as in, pen on paper.

Was surprised to hear from The Programme again, after 2 months of silence. There are new openings which means more interviews. Do I want to put myself through all that again?

I'm reminded that my frand CY went for 30+ interviews during The Bad Times. I shouldn't be whining about having gone through only five.

Read up a bunch yesterday about reverse job boards. It seems the "trend" comes back in cycles every few years. I'm still not certain if mine will take off, but I have to give it my best.
