Cover Quote: July 2020

And I think if I had a piece of advice to give to students that if you really want to do something fun during your professional career, the best thing to do is learn computer science and something else. For example: computer science and physics, or computer science and biology, or computer science and finance. Because then you’re in the really best position. On the one hand, you’re not just playing around with tools, which is okay, but it’s not going to get you very far. But once you start understanding the business you’re in, then you very quickly get to very interesting positions where you understand what’s being done and you have to come up with the computer solutions to do this. So if there’s really something that I would say it’s try to be interested in something else beyond the very basics of the computers themselves.
