When I was doing the teaching practice in computer science, some pupils looked me up and discovered that I have a level 83 Steam profile. That was the “wow” factor to them that caused a slight change in attitude, even if most of them could not care less about programming or really about anything to do with computers other than gaming. A few weeks after I had done the math classes, I heard from the teacher who normally does the math classes, and who is also their homeroom teacher, that the pupils told her that they miss me.
@@Bisqwit I don't know if it means anything, but there are many whose love for computers starts from video games, and sooner or later they stumble upon programming and your channel.
Congratulations. What a journey. I've been a viewer for years and am always stunned at your intelligence. The fact that you treated university as a 100% speedrun was amusing and impressive as always. :)
I'm genuinely curious as to how you have the actual time to be able to absorb the material you're studying so well. And how does the administration/faculty allow you to complete courses before the course ends? Is it all self paced? Your abilities are quite awe-inspiring!
Maybe I don’t have actual time to absorb the material well _in the long term._ What do you mean by completing courses before the course ends? Do you mean taking a general exam? In a university, many courses can be completed with a number of different means: Attending the course normally, or taking a general exam are the most common ways. When you take a general exam, you don’t enroll with the teaching at all (which usually means you don’t even have access to the course material), but instead you just do the exam. Whatever score you get in the exam determines your grade, and if passable, the course is completed and you don’t have to do anything else for that course. In my chart, these cases are denoted by a pencil&paper symbol: 📝. Some courses consists of tasks that have no deadline: Once you have completed all necessary tasks, you have completed the course, no matter when it is. Completions are typically verified and registered monthly. In some cases, it is also possible to request a completion for the course based on earlier experience. If you can provide acceptable proof that you possess satisfactory prior experience in line of the course objectives (such as: completed an equivalent course somewhere else), the course may be registered as completed for you based on that. In my chart, I have marked these cases with an amphora, 🏺.
@@Bisqwit Ah that makes much more sense, I don't believe many US colleges/universities are set up like that with a general exam or a sort of "finish these assignments and your done" set up (at least at the schools I've been too/known people who have gone too) Thank you for your reply though, that clears up a lot!
@@ClientelephoneIn the US we have CLEP, Departmental Exams, and/or Credit by Examination. You don't have to sit the entire semester if you know what you're doing. Also, YMMV on how strict your University adheres to ABET, you can take a course and its prerequisites in the same semester.
So happy to see your back Bisqwit! One of the best programmers I've learned from on RUclips. I'm so thankful and happy to be part of this community. God bless you and looking forward to seeing more new videos!
Haven't even watched the video, but you are one of the most inspirational persons I've ever seen, you really encorauge me to follow my dream of programming games, even if I'm not even a quarter as skilled as you are, I hope you have an amazing new year! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on that. You're a very organized person, I took 6 years to finish my degree while I was working because I was disorganized. And you did it in 2 years, that requires dedication and organization, you're such an inspiration.
Bisqwit, I am really happy and thankful that you exist. 6 years ago, discovering your channel for the first time was truly a mind-opener, I've binge watch each one of your videos, livestreams and installed many of your programs on my laptop. You do not realize how big of an inspiration you are that I started learning C and C++ seriously because of your videos. Ever since, I can type up to 200WPM from practicing your game, I have topped my C/C++ programming classes, and 4 years later I am participating in ACM ICPC for my uni as I've achieved high rating in CP (2600 rating codeforces) where I use C++. Bisqwit, you are one of the best people to exist on the Internet, and without an inspiration such as you, my journey may have not even happened. Thank you so much for everything, keep making content, you are the best!! ❤❤
I feel like a fool after going through 3 years of college for game programming, and only during the last semester I figured out you could apply for credits based on prior experience, of which I have plenty. So I essentially wasted my time in those courses that I could have easily gotten the credits for, had I known I could've applied to do so.
A Bisqwit upload!!! Great start to 2024 😄 so glad to see you're doing well, I've missed your vids. Congrats on the uni work! Hope to see more vids soon, take care
Congratulations! I was just watching your terminal emulator live streams the other day and was wondering where you've been. Good to see you are increasing your knowledge!
Wow! My 2023 was.... both a start in an exciting new direction, but also one of the most stressful and rough years ever. This video was an inspiration for me to just keep pushing forward. Work hard, stay focused, but to also let myself dig into some subjects I just find interesting and would like to learn more about on the way. :) Thanks for taking the time to give us this update! Wishing you health and blessings as well!
I'm happy for you. I'm glad that you are working as an engineer. There is nothing wrong with driving a bus (I'm sure that it's enjoyable as well), but you are able to do so much else.
Very inspiring studies! Really wishing you the best on the rest! This example Python program for middle school students was the type of program that I was expecting to see from you :P Thank you for all of these great and informative videos over all these years.
Obviously, that "example" was not the example I used for teaching. It was just to attract interest, creating something visually interesting in just a few lines of code.
I find this quite impressive, especially considering your age, your techniques of absorbing new information must be superb. I'm "only" 30, yet I can already feel my brain deteriorating probably because of aging... But obviously there are lots of variables at play here, since 2 years ago I've tried to live a healthy lifestyle and I can also feel that it truly helps with the cognitive side. Wish I had cared about these things when I was younger...
You look good! I'm glad it's all been working out so nicely! Me, and I'm sure many other subscribers can't wait for more of your content but that can wait. Take your time and achieve your goals! Oh and happy new year! Take care!❤
Congrats on your achievements. I have some not-so-related questions: do you plan to finish your compiler series? I think it's only missing the assembler, unless you plan to write your own linker too. I'm also interested to see how you're going to inject your compiled code into the NES ROM. I would also like to know: how much work would it have saved you if you had written a front-end for LLVM instead?
Omfg I used to watch j back when u were writing terminal emulators. Holy shit I completely forgot about you. Thanks for making this vid it popes up on my feed! I’ll come back for more!! Ur programming vids are fire!

Thank you for the kind words, but I just got particularly systematic and methodological. Right now I am feeling _much_ less systematic and methodological…
Thanks! My master’s thesis was accepted a month ago, so technically I could graduate any moment I want. But I withhold that until I’m sure what I want to do with my study right.
@@Bisqwit I am pretty sure you will be amazing in whatever you endeavor. And if you were teaching math and sciences, gosh, I'd love to be your student. Wishing you all the best.
Great achievements! 🎉 Keep going! As you probably speak latin, ancient greek and hebrew you could run easily through philosophy and theology. Don’t miss history, that is pretty close to the other studies. Then keep going on psychology. Maybe you can attend some courses in neuroscience. Once done that, molecular medicine is just waiting for you. Then the way to human medicine is just a tiny small further step. It sounds ridiculous, but I am really impressed by your broad knowledge and understanding. 😊
Bisqwit I always loved your videos and remember watching the video about you enrolling in university, watching this one is mindblowing, I'm glad you're crushing it, you're truly inspiring more so doing this while having a full time job, would you mind sharing studying techniques you use or just your personal approach to studying? Like if you have a fixed schedule, how do you tackle learning from books without going to classes and so forth. Thank you so much for everything you share, I bet you'll have a super interesting future with this new path you've chosen, oh and congratulations on graduating and happy new year 🎉
I should clarify that for the first 15 months of studying (not counting the summer), I was enjoying study leave, a system in Finland which allows one to go studying, but switch to _zero time_ work schedule (i.e. no work, no pay) while retaining the employment contract (i.e. you neither quit nor are fired). Then, while you are not getting paid by your employer, you can apply and get adult education allowance, which is paid by the employment fund, a national institution. So I was not working full time while studying. However, during summer time (when no courses were in progress), I was working full time, and when the maximum 15 months of adult education allowance ran out, I switched to working part time. Still, thank you!
How can you be such a MONSTER? I have never seen someone learn so much in a single lifetime. You're like 3 people in one. Or a 90 year old man in a young person's body.
@@Bisqwit Still, the commitment and discipline to learning are commendable. The best I can do is reading programming books at the toilet, 20 minutes per day, and the occassional coding binge during the summer. Everything else has to be paid work, or I quickly lose interest. Do you have any tips for extra motivation?
Reminds me of how Dolf de Roos got first his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, then master's, degree, then a PhD, because every time the university asked him "Why don't you do that too?" he couldn't find any reasonable excuse not to :)
We missed you Bisqwit. You are inspiration. Congratz and have a great 2024!
yeah, that bus driving reminded me of a great movie "Paterson"
Imagine being a middle school student getting taught computer science by the genius that is Bisqwit and not realising what a blessing that is 😄

wow, you did a decade and more worth of education in around 3 years. You are an incredible scholar
that would be cool if I could do that for a subject I'm interested in in a desirable country (to me personally)...
It's been nearly a year since the last video. Glad to see you are doing well
