Announcing Computer Science for Computer Scientists, Oslo
aftenposten.substack.com
We're starting a new meetup in Oslo! For a while now, I've been eager to revisit computer science topics that I explored when I was younger: data structures like RRB-trees, algorithms like word detection in audio, or something that's very dear to me: programming language design. There’s some great meetups out there already which focus on one of these topics specifically, but I’m eager to explore them all and find something new for me to learn and apply. Have you ever eaten a marshmallow and rabbit fajita? You’ll never know if you like it unless you try it, and just like all the various combinations of possible foods, computer science topics all need sampling before you might find one that really interests you. A lot of people discover these topics at university, but then never get to apply them in their real-world work life. Some may say that if you don’t need a particular skill at work, it’s not that useful. Well, I would counter that with the age-old words of wisdom: if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Not every interest has to serve a purpose, but with each piece of knowledge you gain, suddenly there are more options for how you approach problems.
