    How do I stay motivated at university?

    Wow you get to book when your classes are? I wish we could do that, we just get handed a timetable and have to make do haha. Sometimes we have 3 lectures in a row in the same room, stretching from 2pm - 6pm and that's when I can't take it and start to doze off D: From last year, even though...

    Thanks, yeah I do skip the occasional lectures, especially the evening ones at like 4-6 where I just fall asleep lol! Luckily the slides are available and lectures are recorded as well, but I do have to catch up as I'm starting to fall behind! Most of the labs are worthwhile I agree.

    Thank you for your reply. I guess I just couldn't (and still don't tbh) see how I would need much of the stuff I learnt in my first year, so I did not make the effort to remember it. I completely understand that it's my fault though, I shouldn't have made the impression that it wasn't. You do...

    Wow yes we are in the same boat indeed! What I'm doing is getting up at 6AM (I hope to make this 5AM soon) and working on my business for an hour so I make sure I'm making progress on it each day. I treat it like a priority :) I believe this is a good strategy for getting everything done. I...

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, this is basically what I think I'm going to do. I'm in the UK so not quite sure how GPA works, but aiming for the average sounds like a good option so I don't overload. I used to really want to get a 1st class degree (which is 70%+), but now I really don't see this as...

    Well I would probably have got a web development job since I've done a lot of web development as a hobby and it doesn't necessarily require a degree- there are many developers without degrees. But yeah, it's a bit tricky for me to leave now so I think my best option is to grind through it.

    Hey everyone, I'm 20 years old in my second year of university and I really don't like it, just the learning method sucks. I'm a programmer and I love building things, not sitting in a lecture theater listening to a professor talk through the same slides he's used for 10 years. Absorbing as much...

    Thanks! I think the homepage loads at a decent speed, but there are parts of the site when you're logged in that are quite slow :( I do know Java, but I don't use it for web development, I'm using the MERN stack right now for the new version, although the current version is written in the LAMP...

    Hey! Yeah I've been working on the new version, 2.0, which is a complete rewrite using the MERN stack. I'm very happy with the progress so far, the site looks a lot better and the user experience feels a lot better as well! I'm working very hard to ensure the UX is top-notch haha. Also the...

    Alright, thank you very much for your help :) I think I've got some work to do now then. Socket.io was actually exactly the thing I was gonna use :D I'd really like to try and move it to Node JS and then host it on Heroku so I think I'm gonna do that, for the learning experience as I'd like to...

    Sound big or sound authentic?

    Cool, yeah I'm not sure what made me think that. I guess just that most businesses appear to have a team behind them so that's what people are used to.

    lol it appears I didn't realise what I was saying there haha My reasoning was most schools are finishing now so I wouldn't think they'd be interested in edtech until term starts again.. But I guess there is no harm in trying anyway.

    Sound big or sound authentic?

    Hey everyone, Just a quick question. If you're the only person behind your business, do you use words like "we" and "our" to sound big and professional? Or do you be real and use words like "I", "my", etc. I keep questioning this all the time, my business is in educational technology and all...

    Alright guys, fine. I'll put aside my biases ;) I'll try interviewing to see what users think. Since its the summer holidays now its probably not be the best time to try and get more users so I'll just focus on improvements.

    Yep, I'm definitely convinced I need to market it more. Just worried that it will crash and burn as it can't handle scaling :wideyed:

    Wow, thank you so much for the the advice! You've given me a lot of motivation for this, I wasn't sure if it had potential. Btw I have to admit, when I saw you said 100-200 GBP per 5 users I thought that was crazy! The most expensive edtech I've found is Socrative which charges $60 / year...

    Hey, thanks for the reply! My site is called Quiznetic. I think it's a great idea to interview users, maybe I should send out an email for feedback to a survey or something? Another reason I'd like to rewrite it (as well as the messy code) is I've been learning a bunch of new technologies which...

    Hey everyone! This might be a long post and I apologise. My name's Tim, I'm a programming nerd, and I just finished my first year of university (studying computer science). I have recently finished reading TMF and Unscripted which have really opened my eyes to what's possible in life. I'm super...
