Failure. I dropped OS at stanford. First and foremost, i had sucky team members to begin with. One guy dropped and another girl based in chicago wasn't doing anything. The guy is actually my colleague at work. He wasn't that good at C so I don't blame him dropping the class. The girl in chicago said she has solid background in embedded linux, yet she doesn't even know how to use CVS *puking blood*. I was so pissed to work on the project alone. As a result for 1st project i finished part 1 and part 2 by myself. I was hoping the girl can handle part 3. But no, she didn't start looking at the code until 3 days before it's due. I knew I am screwed. Things will definitely be easier should i have reliable teammates. Well, 2nd reason to drop the class: i realize I no longer have the energy to stay up late like I used to in college. It was extremely tiring for the past 3 weeks, staying up till 3-4am for the class while working during the day. Maybe this kind of implementation-oriented undergrad class is not meant for us. Then i have to forgo my weekend for it. I missed KTV session with friends, no tennis, no friday night hang out. I am already so used to that, and all of the sudden OS takes control of my life totally. All I have is ssh terminal, make, run, kernel panic, seg fault, gdb, code, make, run ... and it repeats. No doubt that's the process of learning system programming, but i think i have the skill, just not the time to deal with tiny little details. All these pretty much sounds like lame excuses, whatever it is i feel better dropping the class. I am a failure:)
