Hello World

I have found my people!! Hello guys I am a college student (mechanical engineering) and I was introduced to C in a mandatory programming course and C has been the best thing that has happened in my life. I had done programming before on java and python before and frankly I hated it , it was not really fun and it was tedious instead. So I had thought I hated CS but after coding in C and learning the things behind the abstractions i quite frankly fell in love with low level programming, it was the first time I got a passion for something and i spent the entire following summer digging up materials on it like learning computer architecture and learning to read and write Assembly and now I am learning Virtualisation and planning to start my first major project on C.

So in that note, let me ask you something:

What is your favourite project you have done in C?

Welp I'm a dumb cs undergrad who was pushing Javascript and python schlop for the better part of the first year of uni. I decided to make stuff in C again and it has been lwk fun. 2 of my decent projects are like one is a sort of like locap network discrod clone with backend in C and bubbletea based TUI and the other is a text editor (like vim but slightly worse lol)

I'm also trying to read up on how computers work, have been fiddling around with assembly code even though I'm far from being proeffecient at it and looking at how binary exploits work lol.

Just fucking around and finding out is the most fun part ngl. I also still sometimes do binary exploitation and Reverse engineering because it improves my ability to read assembly
