As in science, medicine, counseling and many other fields, I think there are issues of temperament as well as knowledge - there is a kind of "calling" here. And, I guess, a kind of “attitude.” A key part of engineering is the love of making things, especially making them right away and making […]
In short, I would advise reading a lot of books that are not related to computer science. It is important to understand what place the concept of “science” occupies in “Computer Science”, and what “engineering” means in “Software Engineering”. The modern concept of “science” can be formulated as follows: it is an attempt to translate phenomena into models that can be more or less easily explained and predicted. You can read about this topic [...]

Main theses or what this article is about. Since people have different interests, and people have little time, let’s briefly talk about the contents of the article. This article is an overview of a controller project with a minimal price and the ability to visually program using a WEB browser.

Three days ago I learned about Haiku, a surprisingly good operating system for PC. It's day four and I wanted to do more "real work" with this system, and the section […]
