Good ol' computer science

fmahaztra··on Ask HN: What did you do in your first year after school?

Not exactly the kind of school you’re implying, but I’ve spent the past year after my high school graduation working. I’m currently a software engineer at an asset management firm and will start university simultaneously soon :)
