Me and my friends were doing so well until we just got destroyed back to silver <| sep |> True . You know what I mean hopefully . <| sep |> The ideology I like the most is opensource . Joining that community and making friends who are passionate about opensource is what probably inspired me the most to want to become a computer science major and to eventually contribute . Many students , I think , are introduced to CS via programming , but I was introduced via Linux , so I always really love that community and their ideologies . I use to be one of those kids who were obsessed with low level assembly . Before I went to college , I read part of a book about computer architecture , so for a while , I was all about CC , managing your own memory , architecturespecific optimization . But then I took a functional programming course that taught OCaml , and I realized computer science is more than programs and digital logic but is a way to think . The languages inspired by lambda calculus , for example , are considered inefficient for many realworld applications , but when you look at those programs written in those languages , they are beautiful .
