Hey, I'm David. I'm in my 4th year of Software Engineering at Cal Poly SLO and am looking for professional experience outside of class/personal projects.
I'm specifically interested in exploring any lower level applications. I have strong OS/Computer Architecture fundamentals and am very passionate about going deeper within those areas. Some of my projects include a non-preemptive threading library in C, a handwired breadboard CPU, and some Minix3 filesystem image cli tools.

HN is my only form of social media now on my phone. Now, it’s time to build meaningful relationships in my life again.
The FOMO is to get you to download the app, make an account, and deter you from uninstalling.
The real game is to keep you on the platform when you compulsively open it. You go in to check in on your second cousins, you stay to scroll through their TikTok clone or whatever attention harvesting algorithm is trendy currently.
Call me naive but I find that the term ADHD has become far too general and overused. It’s a common scapegoat for what could otherwise be described as bad habits for a lot of people.
