+Introduction:
+Make a compelling story about what the adventure is upon you and what problem you set out to solve.
+You can think of it as a classical novel.
+Make a protagonist; there is a protagonist, he encounters and issue and overcomes it.
+Except it's just more technical.
+
+Status update template:
+Since last meeting, I changed ___ in the thesis text.
+I changed ___ in the artifact / experiments.
+My next concrete deliverable is ___.
+My main blocker is ___.
+
+Try to find good references in the CompSys manifesto.
+This should contain ``good'' references.
+Paralysis analysis.
+You should write your thesis at the same time as your coding.
+DO NOT leave out the thesis as the last part, after all coding is done.
+Do both in parallel.
+
+The `gap` in the presentation slides is `...and this has not yet been done before.` or `we are the first to do...` etc.
+`Gap` => nobody did this before (or a knowledge gap).
+E.g., a system does not exist. The key is that it is missing worldwide from the scientific community.
+Nobody has done yet => part of a `scientific` project.
+Why is my project scientific? Because nobody did it yet.
+
+How to backup that something does not exist?
+You cannot cite work that does not exist.
+You cannot cite non existing thing, because it's not there.
+Typically, you show instead how existing falls short.
+1/ State the problem, why it's important.
+2/ Refer to recent and impactful work on datacenter simulation or digital twinning.
+2a/ Write in a few sentences that this other work did `xyz` and say why `xyz` is NOT ENOUGH to advance the problem you introduce earlier.
+You can just say that `this is missing from their work, or I think that this is missing`.
+Now YOU need to make a claim, `this is true`, or `nobody did this`.
+Making such a claim is bold and YOU could be wrong, but STILL make that claim, but then cite the related work, make the claim `they don't do x`, and then go to your supervisor and tell him `in my mind this is the key issue with my thesis, do you agree with this? Is there any work I Should have cited? Am I misinterpreting anything those other projects did?`Bring this up with a conversation with your supervisor.
+
+Answer to each research questions is one of your main contributions.
+They are the main way the reader can understand what you have done.
+System design => contribution to question on ``How to design a ...?''
+Each contribution => a section in your thesis. Core content of the thesis. 3-4 sections.
+Each section corresponds directly to a research question.
+
+Make a skeleton of the thesis first. Very important!
+This way you can plan your own work much better => do this.
+Map the thesis before writing text.
+Put the skeleton in the shared folder.
+
+Each RQ should be enumerated, you want every question to be not just a nice isolated question,but add a bit of context below: 1) describe why it's important 2) say why it's challenging 3) say what makes it scientific.
+
+You can take whatever structure you want from any report, no plagiarism nor declarations needed.
+
+==20-05-2026==
+You should explain in your background section background on datacenters and datacenter simulations.
+The background is NOT an extensive discussion of extensive and related work. It is NOT that.
+It gives the necessary context for the rest of the thesis.
+
+You can include a figure in the introduction from a different paper.
+You can adapt it from a different paper.
+Do not copy figures directly.
+
+Background:
+a) Concept A
+b) Concept B
+c) Merge A + B, why we need both
+
+2.1 Datacenter
+Part of 2.1, or separate as 2.2 if large: Failures
+Part 2.2/2.3 Digital Twins
