In 2017, in my 2nd year of CS undergrad studies, I noticed about 20 of us students (about 20% of our class) kept going to all the hackathons and competition, and it almost made the rest of the students feel that we were super smart and they weren't, which I understood wasn't true, because my brother had previously studied CS and hated it and I, quite deeply, understood how Imposter Syndrome worked. It also felt like there was one implicit success benchmark for the students: you were either great at programming in your first 2 semesters, which meant you were a good CS student, or if you weren't, it was your problem and not anyone else'. I initially thought of running a hackathon called UMHack and focus on the middle 60% of CS students, and later on decided making a Medium publication and bring students, ideally the ones who are doing well in their studies/career to share more about what they do, how they make decisions, what drives them in those decisions and etc. I think this, though it's a tiny little step forward, is important because CS education is almost entirely self-service at this point, and it works fine for people like me (the top 20-30% of students), and that might indirectly make it hard to optimise it. And we have this middle 60% of CS students, this mass of students, who have the minimum viable skills to do great but lack the confidence and exposure to stay on track. If you're interested to be a UMHack writer, whether or not you're at uni, hit me up!
