I started working in computational chemistry during my PhD in 2019, with zero prior experience or knowledge about comp chem specifically, or about computer science or what all it entails
to work on a computer full time. Because of this, I've made many mistakes and taken a lot of notes and wanted to share these with others so they can avoid some of my mistakes.
As a general note, I used Amber (with AmberTools) and VMD as my primary simulation and visualization softwares, so my notes will be based on these and might not be useful if you're
going to be using other softwares.
