Top priority: How to be Happy. And also some Kubernetes, Docker in more detail, explore rkt and CoreOS, perhaps also get into details of linux kernel and finish a custom build from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ Get more depth into system security If time permits, would love to learn more about Quantum Computing and explore if I can contribute in any way.
Career: Transition from engineering to product management (starting mid-January so getting that one sorted early) Personal: Mastery in something non-computer related. I've spent my twenties building a career in software, have built a startup, etc but want to end my twenties and begin my thirties with something new to "master" (even though we can't ever fully master something). Increasingly fascinated by freediving an…
Even I am considering such a move. Though for me it will be to Associate Product Management (if I do get through) from SDE.
Any tips/advice you may have?
Confidence - never thought it would be an issue when you're leading your own company. I quit a great job on the east coast in 2012, went to grad school and moved to Silicon Valley after graduation (2014) to work on my startup. I've been learning and building constantly for the past 4 years. I would rather my work speak for me, so I don't draw any attention to what I'm doing or to myself until I have great results to…
I'm going to learn how to run an ecommerce business. I'm a programmer at work, so I feel like I can use skills I know to learn ones I don't.
a) Define your niche
b) Point out the ways you will be different from others
c) Know who your first customers will be and how will you approach them
Before you start programming/other tech stuff. Simple advice but much easier to preach than practice.
All the best!
I want to learn Hindi; TDD for Ruby, Rails, Elixir and Angular 1.5; how to have a better work life balance; and some more advanced guitar technique.
All the best with your hindi effort. I don't have any resource recommendations to give but if you wish to ever talk or clarify hindi concepts, you can hit me up.
Only yesterday, I was cribbing about the lack of quality hindi content on the web. Time I actually started trying to do something about it >_> .
Being in India, I can do a lot of work for much cheaper rates than others out there. But I don't want to waste my time with short term projects. Might seem like you're earning a lot but there's very little one actually learns at the end of a few months, which to me at least is a net loss.
So I am going to try to find some kind of long term project/task as a junior/senior engineer, something that's challenging or at least worth putting on your CV.
I am also planning to work on my thinking skills (lesswrong/SSC and Economist), and React.
Not going to add anything else. Discipline is the word for this year.

I'm going through this series aimed at programmers by Bartosz Milewski, finding it pretty great so far. https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-p... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbgaMIhjbmEnaH_LTkxLI...
Thanks, but my lingua franca is math, not programming, i'm a pretty bad programmer actually :( Did you find anything from a "practical mathematician" type of view?
