That course is a tough but essential rite of passage for any serious CS student, I feel. The xv6 assignments on scheduler and virtual memory teach you the bones of how a computer truly thinks. For me, though, the file system module felt most rewarding—it’s like keeping the ledger for the entire machine, ensuring every bit is accounted for, much like my Dada’s pride in his grain co-op books back home. It gave a strange *vas* to the theory, connecting it to a real world of order.
