- C++

- Advanced linear algebra

- Differential equations

- How to work on a complex system with a large codebase

For the first three at least there are plenty of books and courses online.

be a better developer. i'm terrible and very lucky that i have a job that is payed way better than others. and for this:

- design patterns

- debug skills

- better problem solver

- simpler, clear, easy to remove code

I want to learn how to find a job that allows me to become an expert and has realistic expectations.

They all ask for the world. I'm expected to be an expert in multiple languages and become an expert in a new stack in months, all without training and while switching back and forth between tech. If you want me to become a Python expert, then give me a steady diet of Python work. I don't see any path forward and I'm tired of being treated like I'm disposable.

This is exactly what I want to learn x)

C/C++ for robotic, Math for data science and complex code/architecture for my day to day job.

Which books or online courses do you recommande ?

What is Math ? Is it pure math like equation, regression, or something for space or data science ?

Nothing. I need my current job to support my family.
