More Challenges: Writing
100,000 lines of code by your 4th year of college is an impressive feat
by any standards. Even if all that code is spread across a number of
different languages during your college career. However, you’re not
going to hit that level just doing your homework in the CS department.
You need to code on projects or just for fun outside of school, and you
need to find the time to do it.
There’s more to just reaching 100,000
lines, though. It’s about discipline. It’s about learning fundamentals.
It’s about finding the very difficult scenarios, and how to solve them.
Ultimately, writing 100,000 lines of code before you even graduate, is
about experience. You will be properly molded as a programmer and
developer.
