I tried their editor a few times and found it a bit hard to get used to coming from VS Code. The thing that sank the ship for me honestly was when I found out that they don’t support PDF previews in the editor. Given that I use VS Code to also write LaTeX documents, that is an essential feature for me that they seemed very opinionated about not including based on the issues I’ve seen on their git

My first internship I kind of landed by talking to a company representative at a career fair organized by my university and then mentionjng said guys name in my online application. Not sure how much impact that actually had but I guess it might have helped.

My second internship I found via linkedin. I just looked for companies there that had somilar positions or actually posted internship positions and then went to their website to apply and look for possible other open positions I could send a slightly altered letter from my first application to. If a company sounded interesting but didn’t have any internships on offer I sometimes just sent them an unsolicited application. Honestly I don’t remember how much feedback I got on those though.

Should be obvious but I also didn’t limit myself to looking for companies close to where I lived at the time. In the end I had to move literally to the other end of the country.

I didn’t read the book but watched the movie instead and I don’t know how much is different between the two.

It needed a bit of patience to get through it to be honest. In my opinion, it’s more a kind of book/movie you read/watch because of its message, not because it’s particularly entertaining.

In a way, I guess that could be seen as part of the message if you look at it as a warning of what could be instead of as a story that is fun to experience.

I’m not that well informed on the specifics of the topic but I would say that AI has a lot of potential to do good in medical applications. I believe there was quite a bit of research into detecting various forms of cancer earlier and more reliably by using neural networks.
