HSB133-265 isn't a class. It’s a hazing ritual that teaches you resilience. You will cry. You will break your keyboard. But on the last day, when your final project compiles on the first try , you will feel like a wizard who just wrestled a dragon into a spreadsheet.
The software environment is called "Eclipse-Requiem." It crashes if you look at it wrong. It saves your files to a void dimension if you forget to click "Save As" exactly three times. Also, the textbook costs $265—which feels like the universe has a sick sense of humor, given the course number.
You enjoy puzzles, dark coffee, and the quiet satisfaction of fixing something that was never supposed to work. Avoid this if: You value your sanity, your sleep schedule, or using the mouse (this is a keyboard-only nightmare).
Final score: 4/5. It broke me, but it made me unbreakable. Just don’t ask me to look at another curly brace for at least six months.
