Über Study in this corner.
Hello everyone! I'm pursuing a graduate degree in software development, studying in a corner of Glasgow, Scotland. I’d love to hear in which corner of this world you’re studying (or working on anything) from. Knowing we’re all pushing forward together gives me the energy to keep going. Let’s support each other on this journey!
My study sessions mainly involve math, databases, and algorithms with a lot of coding, so you'll frequently find me typing on my computer. To enhance my concentration, I usually study with the soothing sounds of rain. To boost my motivation, I've started recording my study sessions. I typically follow a 50-10 Pomodoro cycle.
I am not a genius. I don't understand equations instantly or identify code errors in the blink of an eye. It takes minutes (or hours) of thinking, dozens of queries to chatGPT, and a few quiet curses towards my screen and textbooks until making sense of each problem. As an average learner, my strategy centers on consistency, repetition, and gradual learning and improvement. Thus, in each Pomodoro cycle, I review what I've done and how to improve my learning approach.
Sometimes, I sit at my desk, working on a single issue for 3 hours without any progress. In videos, my study might seem smooth and comfortable, but in reality, I'm constantly taking two steps back after two steps forward. I believe many of you can relate to this.
On YouTube, it's common to see others effortlessly solve or explain problems that we find challenging. This can sometimes shake my confidence, tempting me to give up and watch. However, I want to embrace a gritty, seemingly negligible small-step approach and leave the trace of my journey here.
