After moving to Vietnam and realizing I was going to be in Asia for a long time, I decided I needed to get my degree while abroad. I studied political science because it seemed easy. Then I read "Sapiens" and "Homo Deus" because Obama recommended them. My. Life. Changed.
I started asking questions like when does the singularity occur? What can I do to prepare for it? Does everyone need to learn to code? If the only way to beat AI is to join it, can I become a cyborg? Please?
In 2017, I completed the computer science and cryptography challenge at the master level on Khan Academy. Then I finished Introduction to JavaScript. I changed my major to information technology. And I loved. Every. Second. Of it.
