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…

Sounds like you could use a friendly advisor or mentor - ping me if you want to talk.

Completely not tech related, but I want to learn making hand pulled noodles because they're so tasty.

I upvoted you because this is the first non programming comment I came across in this content. The question was generic, but incidentally almost all replies are related to programming.

If this question was posted on a forum for gardeners, most of whom are gardening fanatics, you'd find many of the plans involve gardening.

My goal for 2017 is to fully figure out Docker. The majority of information out there, including tutorials and blog articles about others' successful deployments, comes in the form of very high-level overviews. Everything I've found is an introduction to getting a basic docker instance running. There is very little useful information out there as to how to run a proper multi-host cluster. There is core Docker. Tack o…

Absolutely same, I really want to get into it. I already tried to do so, but for some reason I was out of luck finding good resources for learning. Can someone recommend some great resources for beginners? TBH, would like a free resource. :D

Beside that I want to get around HashiCorp tools, especially Vault for storing and Consul for service discovery.

For me this year will be about focusing on growth for my new SaaS venture. I'd like to learn how to sell a SaaS product - talk with customers and gather feedback and also how to manage a business. Also I would like to learn more about marketing and different growth hacking techniques.

P.S. Also if you are in need of Intercom analytics please give us a try - I would be glad to have you onboard.

I'd like to learn Japanese. I'm hoping to travel there in June after I graduate from college, and I figure it would help if I could talk to people (or try, at least). I'd also like to get better at Rust. I've written a few small projects in it at hackathons, but I've yet to get to the point where I'm comfortable writing in it. I'd like to get close to that. I'm taking a class prior to graduation in abstract algebra,…

this guy has helped ME in so many of my language learning ventures. And he's relentlessly optimistic and encouraging.

He's learned Japanese (and like ten other languages), but his main value-add is general language learning advice.
