My genuine impression is that communities moved from forums to discord. Maybe that's why they are harder to find

Hi, I just graduated in Physics (Master Degree) and I'm looking for an internship or a job lasting a few months. As a Physicist, my main abilities are describing complex systems with effective models, data analysis and numerical simulations.

I'm also open to advice on how to spend the skills I developed during my Master's Degree in Physics in the tech industry.

You probably already know about them, but just in case: have you watched 3b1b's videos about Linear Algebra? Those did open my mind and improved my understanding of linear algebra.

A bit everywhere. One thing that really bothered me is that you have to wait until chapter 3 to introduce the notion of vector spaces. I know that it is not an easy concept to grasp, but once you manage to understand it a lot of previous things become trivial.

When I was first introduced to the idea of solving linear equations, we already had the idea of space vectors and basis, so solving a system of equations was just an application of finding the coefficients of the linear combination.

> I liked his approach of “ideas first, rigor later”. I think after reading this book, you can easily grab a book with more formalism if you feel lacking rigor.

This sentence made me think. Maybe there was a disconnect between my experience (Physics background, bottom-up approach) and the one taught in the course (Data science for Linguistic, top-down). Each time I tried to use the notion and examples I had in mind with the students I found myself hitting a wall because they had not covered the topics yet.

Can you articulate on the first one? In the last semester I tutored for a Linear algebra course which used his book and it was a nightmare. Ideas seems to be presented in reverse order and a lot of students ended up having trouble understanding basic concepts.

I don't really know the scope of easter eggs, is the whole team supposed to know about them or just the few programmers that introduced them? Maybe they didn't want to spoil the surprise (?)

In any case, congratulations to op for having their project reach the original franchise. It's a sign of a job well done!

How did you manage to fund your hobby with coding? I'd like to do something similar but I feel like a fish in the ocean.

What do you mean with changing psychology? I see that all your "successful" projects involve making someone else happier/helping them. Was it about noticing your impact on them?

I just turned 25 and I realized I spend most of my life up to now learning stuff. I'd like to spend my next 25 doing things and producing something new with the skill I have acquired (physics master's degree and cs as a hobby). Can you tell me where the first projects that left you fulfilled?
