  • I haven’t had Stumptown beans in forever, but they’re great. I’ve had Hair Bender & Founder’s Blend, both of which I would recommend. I haven’t tried Homestead yet. Do you adjust the temperature of the water at all when dialing in lighter roasts? I’ve heard higher temps can lead to better extraction for those.














  • I’m unfamiliar with career prospects for electrical engineers in Sweden, so I’ll defer to that advice you have gotten, and hope someone who is familiar can add some helpful information. Perusing through LinkedIn and Indeed could be helpful in seeing what the job offerings are like in your local area. I’ll try to add something useful to the discussion though. From what you’ve said, you seem very passionate about computer science – self-learning and working in a related field while pursuing a degree in EE is no joke. It would be a shame to abandon that pursuit if it truly is a passion of yours.

    Some questions I have that might be helpful to think over:

    1. What is the process to change your major now? I recognize you’re only a year away from graduating with an EE degree, but it could be useful to know what the application process would be like, what barriers you would face with regard to admittance into the CS program now, etc.
    2. What is your plan after undergrad? Have you thought about pursuing a master’s degree in CS? There are options for fully remote classes (for instance, my alma mater has an online MS in CS program called “OMSCS”).
    3. In terms of careers as an EE that could provide more job opportunities and straddle the line between EE and CS, have you looked into roles related to firmware engineering / embedded software engineering?
