I will be doing a livestream/podcast/Q&A with my "research professor" & ICPC coach from college - we will talk about the stages of and life within competitive programming related to IOI/ICPC ("before, during, and after"). It will likely have some useful advice in it, but it will also cover some aspects of "life in competitive programming" that I have never really talked about before. Should be interesting.
It will be a livestream, i.e. interactive. You can ask things (on either channel) and we'll talk about them.
It will be (Sunday) Oct 29, 11AM ET. Here's the conversion: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=…
My professor: Mohammad Hajiaghayi (YouTube @hajiaghayi), IOI'97 Silver Medalist and Minker Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park
* This does not mean I will be returning to regular videos here any earlier than planned. It is its own separate thing. But this is the closest thing you'll get to content for a while probably, so enjoy it.
** "research professor" in quotes because I haven't actually started research yet :p
