Present A big part of this initiative is about creating a supportive community focused on growth and self-improvement. That statement feels pretty generic, so it’s worth fleshing out a bit. Lately, it’s felt like a lot of communication that happens is superficial. This is especially true of social media, and it’s…

Milestones October 14th, 2020. That’s when we had our first Meeting of the Minds. It’s amazing to think that it’s been just over 4 months since the Tomorrow People went from being an idea to a reality. Personally, I’ve gotten a tremendous amount of value out of all our conversations over…

Graphs (Part 3) — Understanding the properties of graphs, in theory, is great and all, but when it comes down to solving the problem we need to know how to actually implement them in code. We’ll go through a few common ways of building out graphs from scratch, each with its own set of…

I’m a big fan of reflection. It can be challenging at times because I don’t always like what I see in the mirror, but that’s also why it’s so important to do. To be able to address a problem first requires acknowledging its existence. But reflection can also be a…

With only a few hours left in 2020, I thought I’d publish a 10-minute speed journaling exercise we did during one of the last Meetings of the Minds. …

I wanted to just write a quick update post about how things are going with the Tomorrow People Initiative. The idea was suggested to me by one of the regular members, and I finally had some time to take him up on it. …

From Bad to Worst — Introduction Combinatorics is a field of mathematics that deals with different ways of arranging or choosing items from a set and is important for things like statistics and probability. It’s also useful for understanding some of the worst time complexities out there because, as you can probably imagine, as you increase…

And Understanding O(N log N) Time Complexity — Some of the first algorithms you’re taught when taking an introductory computer science course, or when learning how to pass technical interviews, are sorting algorithms. There are a few reasons for this. First, they are very intuitive to understand. Because we use sorting in our everyday lives to organize real…

November 12th, 2020 — I had an interesting experience recently. My friend described it as being “struck by my muse”, which I guess in this case was the MCU. On Monday evening, I couldn’t get this idea out of my head. It was an idea for a video about the connection between magic, science…
