Hi all,

This is an article that I've composed based on a previous HN discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21581361) and other discussions on the net.

There are things like cooking, first aid & CPR, setting up a Raspberry Pi, cable management, etc. that you can learn in an hour and can make a meaningful difference in your life. Both article and video mention many topics and gives tips on them.

* Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_srpzXQ6o

If you have any ideas, I will add them to the article.

I will tell you from experience that one cannot learn "cooking" in a single hour, any more than one can learn "music" in an hour.

I agree 100%, but I would say: it is possible to learn _something useful_ about cooking in 1 hour (e.g. how to chop vegetables, or how to cook a steak).

I am doubtful it is possible to have the same experience with music, although maybe one can learn things like "what is a canon".

They go to "articles/...." instead of "/articles/...."

e.g. https://quanticdev.com/articles/most-valuable-thing-to-learn...

should be instead https://quanticdev.com/articles/raspberry-pi-guide-for-devel...

First aid is good. Also general investing in index funds like VTSAX and VTIAX. It is so simple, yet most people I run into on a regular basis just save their money in a checking account earning 0.01% APY. Follow the reddit personal finance flowchart. Learn about Roth and HSAs and ESPP and the benefits of diversification. We’re literally talking about multiples of your net-worth over your life if you invest compared to saving in a normal bank account. No, it is not gambling. It is riskier not to invest in the long-term.
