@MichaelShaw May I ask - what was change that mattered?. What do you mean?

| Feb 12, 2022 at 0:23 | comment | added | a_sid | @MichaelShaw Thank you for the comprehensive response. Thankfully, I have a job now. I would be looking for further evidence of programming, as a hobby, or in your final year project. One of my major thesis projects was to take a single threaded C implementation of a MJPEG decoder and refactoring it to make it modular. I then reimplemented the modular C implementation in OpenCL to run it on a GPU. | |

A CS degree covers a wider range of topics, with less focus on actually cutting code. | |
