I'm not looking for a research career in maths but rather to refresh my existing knowledge and deepen it even further.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
What I studied during my cs course was just the basics: linear algebra, mathematical analysis, probability theory, and physics. All beginner levels.
I do need to refresh my knowledge from 10 years ago in order to move forward. I was thinking about taking the time off from work and spending a year in a library reading books and learning more. The problem is that I don't really know which direction to take, what are the good books for that. And this is something I hoped a university program would solve.
Something that we did since the beginning is use the rolling quarter approach instead of using now/later/future. You always see the current roadmap as the first one.
Doing that in schools teaches kids about farming, about food, and how it gets on their table. I'm doing the same at home to teach my children the same.
Also in the times of the crisis you reduce the pressure to producers and shops by consuming your own instead of going to the shop.
I do some personal goals and plans for the year in Evernote, which is to say, not a hacker way at all. But it works and I just need to sync between 2 devices.
Trello, Spreadsheet, and Presentation are another good way to build a roadmap. Again, far from being a hacker way but it works with small teams. In fact, it also works for huge companies. I've seen powerpoint used for building roadmap in a 2K+ person company.
Finally, the least hacker way but probably the most comfortable (when you know exactly what you need) is to use existing tools made for this specifically:
First, your family is trying to help you. That kind of help in the first few months is super important because you (as parents) will get exhausted and deprived of sleep. So try to keep the good relationship within the family.
Second, if you as a parent do not agree with the suggestions on how to raise your child, simply ignore them. Make your own mistakes. It's your child, not theirs. You will likely hear a lot of "I told you so" as the years pass by, but still it's your child and you raise them however you feel is right.
Later in life it will be harder, especially when you leave your child with your relatives for longer periods of time. This is when they will do everything differently. Just have a serious but friendly talk with them explaining why you think it's wrong, why you're doing it differently, and assume they will still not listen to you and do the way they raised you. That's just the way it is :-)
In the end, it's always best to explain to your child why they shouldn't do something even if their grandparents insist on doing otherwise.
You'll get used to that
1. Will be updating it. It used to be a landing page, and after we launched the MVP few days ago, just managed to update the link.
2. That's a great idea! We've got a public roadmap for ourselves: https://app.getshipit.com/r/PaZrwULQxD, that might be one of the few projects to show during the signup.
3. Interesting, as very brief user-testing showed the opposite, so I made a mistake by extrapolating that to a much wider audience.
I am a remote employee in a startup, and it requires way more paperwork (options, vacation, legal) to do things right. For a small company, that's just too much when you can hire someone in your country.

Unless you absolutely have to (in case with a doctor), you do not outsource the life-threatening decisions to someone else. If you're tired and cannot drive, park and have a rest instead of watching movies while driving on Autopilot.
What I'm trying to say is that in the end it's your decision, and you have to live with the consequences.
All of that will continue to happen no matter what until people start to think critically and question all the information they get, be it from their parents, school teachers, news outlets or social media.
In my circle of friends in fact a lot of people are using IG and WA and ditched Facebook long ago. I use all of the three solely because my business generates a lot of sales through these channels. So I think yes, people will continue to use it in the foreseeable future. But this opinion is based solely on my bubble that I live in.
