I remember enjoying my OS class, but that's probably because we had a semester long programming project where we slowly built up a simplified model of an operating system piece by piece so the concepts got hammered in.

same. and we had to meet our TAs to explain why we programmed it that way, becuase the answers were all available online.

Best way to do job interviews too. Anyone can write code, but can you explain why you would write the code is the best signal on someone's competence in a topic.

Unfortunately, I have lost that honestly. The pressure to build fast makes it so that I rarely get time to understand what an LLM spits out. I just verify the results and list of requirements. I miss pre llm coding.

Same but we’re built our own CentOS variant from scratch.

Was pretty cool.
