I've started Rust a few months ago, because it sounded interesting and distinct enough so I decided to add it to my tool belt. So far, I've completed a few chapters from the official book.

Oof, same, coming from python/Go and having some knowledge of C, I can say I love it.

But I work with C++ developers who are adamantly opposed to taking a jump because rust is harder for them to grok (as they suggest that they have to unlearn patterns).

Emotional Intelligence

Tips from Emotional Intelligence 2.0 http://redgreenrepeat.com/2019/07/12/tips-i-got-from-emotion...

Lessons from company's internal Emotional Intelligence training (from EIExperience.com) http://redgreenrepeat.com/2019/07/19/debrief-emotional-intel...

Biggest win so far: hearing my wife say to me "Sorry I got emotional."

I've been diving into this operating systems course https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud923/ in my free time, It's about 9 years old I think, but it's been very enjoyable Earlier this year I embarked on a project to help me learn how CPUs work, I ended up implementing simulator for a simple CPU from the "But how do it know?" book - I have a blog post about it if anyone is interested. Since then I've been dabbling…

I'm interested in that simulator, it sounds fun!

I started reading 'But How Do It Know' a while back; I never finished it but I can say that it was a very fun read.

I've heard that 'From Nand to Tetris' [0] is also quite a worthwhile read. A quick look shows that it not only has a link to a book [1] but also some freely available notes/lectures as well as some exercises.

Yeah From NAND to Tetris is probably a better more structured approach, I kind of just went off and did my own thing but I'd imagine it's more fun to get something playing Tetris!
