After some follow up, we discuss passion in computer science.  How do you balance opportunity and passion when moving towards a new future?   Internal Fragmentation Contact Us: Email: internalfragmentation@gmail.com Twitter: @InternFragment @AndrewLitteken Show Notes Chris Johnson SIG CSE Trip Report SIG CSE 2019 Keynotes   Hosted by Andrew Litteken, Jonathan Baker and Peter Bui

The catch up episode after a year-long hiatus.  Overall, a very catch-all episode.  Andrew talks about why he doesn’t even know what to do with his future anymore, Jonathan talks about his first two quarters in grad school and TAing, Peter goes back to basics.  Everyone (except Andrew) soapboxes a little bit.
