Well, I'm currently spending time on going over the Coursera Algorithms course by Sedgewick and Wayne in addition to doing at least 2-3 leetcode problems daily. I'm thinking of having a periodic check-in and code-pair session where we can review and challenge each other. And do the same for systems design/behavioral at some point if that goes well. I have tried pramp in the past and it was useful...until they got bought out. Look up my email and in my profile and hit me up.

Is there any chance you do this group virtually? I tried organizing a group a few year ago and almost got traction but it fizzled out as people moved on. I'm guessing you're in the bay area. I'm in SoCal, but would love to learn from someone like yourself who's been grinding it out and learning. Currently looking for a new position after several years at a company, but taking the long view (it's a marathon and not a sprint etc). I've realized that I haven't invested in my growth as much as I should have. My email is in my profile.

Not related to this post, but man his other project https://aussieplusplus.vercel.app/ is hilarious and ingenious :)

Yes and for now Taiwan is not China...

Perhaps more cities can try something like this https://tulsaremote.com/

Orgmode has been great. However, after Org Timeline was recently removed, I've struggled to get the same functionality with custom agenda views.

Mind you this doesn't include the Santa Ana's, not that I'm complaining...

what glass?

now that's something a politician would say

Oil paints and solvents can be pretty toxic! So it can be dangerous if the working conditions are bad.

"The Linux Programming Interface" is a top-notch book http://nostarch.com/tlpi

Well...just because someone learns to code, does not mean they will be able to do it full-time. I don't think we'll run into that problem anytime soon

I agree that it's hard to do. And, Steve may have fostered the school of simple, clean design, but let's not give him credit for everything now. If you ever study Chinese brush paintings, you''ll appreciate how simple and elegant they are...and these have been around for centuries.

Why was this downvoted?

I've been in a funk for quite a long time now. I think the most important thing is to establish a vision for your life. What do you want your life to be about? It's a question that might take some time to answer. You could always randomly pick a popular subject to learn (economics, web dev...). But the question you'll have to ask yourself is why do I want to learn one thing over another. Time is the most precious thing you have, and so it's good to have a direction in your life, so that, what do you do is gradually guiding you in that direction. On the other hand, sometimes you could take that analysis to the extreme (called analysis paralysis) and never decide what you want to do. In that case, just pick something that's interesting and stick with it for an extended period. This is something that most of struggle with. There is so much to do, you can flip-flop between activities, never really getting much depth. Good luck, it's a long journey, but you're already asking the right questions.

His last lecture here for those interested http://video.mit.edu/watch/dr-amar-g-bose-last-lecture-of-fa...

Yes! Why don't libraries get used as subsidized co-working spaces?

I hear a Chicago library is try something like this out.

"As the global economy shifted from manufacturing to innovation..."

Really? Innovation is an industry now? And you're saying there is no innovation in manufacturing?

Good write-up. I'd be interested in a comparison next with a paid versus free offering such as Codecademy, which also offers interactive learning, but without the large library of video tutorials that lynda & treehouse offer.

Men are 60% more likely to complete a survey Disclaimer: I just made that up

Congrats! What's your background? I noticed "designed by experts"

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm wondering how does the editorial process work with this approach? How does the publisher ensure quality?

I have a 3GS. And even though I've had it for so long, it still doesn't feel dated to me. Apple did a good job with the hardware and the software support. It is finally starting to feel a bit sluggish after almost 4 years of very heavy use. Compare that with my old phones which I essentially threw away after a year or so and never missed them...and the crappy Razr that died after a year.

>I don't want to install eclipse to write for Android

Well you don't need eclipse to write for Android

That's pretty cool. It's great to see people share some of their process.

Good read. Something we all know, but easily forget.

That's interesting, I never knew that...thanks

Thanks for sharing another excellent article Evan

What do you mean by not available? It's working for me
