Meet Alex, a quirky third-year computer science student at the University of Waterloo who has a fondness for puzzling out code and creating intricate digital art. Residing in one of the university's co-op housing facilities, Alex often finds themselves in playful debates with friends about the latest tech trends and innovations, always trying to keep pace with the rapidly changing landscape of their field. In their spare time, Alex loves to organize game nights and share random trivia about the latest discoveries in science and technology—hence, the casual “3 now” comment as part of their playful social banter online.
