I have a Master's degree in Computer Graphics, with an emphasis on material and surface rendering. I have worked extensively with the OpenGL API, including both the programmable pipeline and the older fixed pipeline. I am an expert in the OpenGL API using C/C++, but have also worked with Python and Rust bindings.

As usual , I come in without a plan and Scott rolls with it and drops some absolute gems on me. A well prepared and directed learner (which I aspire to be one day lol ) will get back in value 100 fold whatever they spend for Scott's time.
Scott is an absolute goldmine in knowledge regarding the terminal and unix systems. We went from looking at a simple bash script I wrote to an unexpected tutorial on some things that I didn't know I needed , but absolutely could not have lived without. On the way , while showing me something else , he also nonchalantly identified and fixed a problem with my terminal environment that I didn't even know I had. All of this in the span of an hour.

Scott is a wonderful teacher. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and I always learn something I didn't expect to learn.

Scott is a great teacher and is super patient . He is full of tidbits of knowledge and makes me consider things I would not have thought of during self study.

Inappropriate IOCTL
What the heck does "Errno::ENOTTY: Inappropriate ioctl for device" mean?
How I Write a Commit Message
You spend all day (or multiple days) getting your feature/bug fix mapped out, writing the code, debugging said code, writing tests to verify that nothing is broken in the future, and then, after all of that, you have to craft your commit(s).
