   You can approach this in two stages: 1) Reacclimating yourself with the language. When I'm trying to pick up a a new language or re-engage with a language, I like to work on bite sized problems to understand the syntax and get somewhat

   Thanks for sharing your story. Your experience is key—there may be a strong luck component to success, but with enough attempts, it seems that your luck increases. Often, hidden behind "overnight successes" is a trail of failures.

   I’m also self studying mathematics on the path to a “DIY statistics degree” (currently revisiting Calculus as well). I imagine there is a fair bit of overlap between what you’re doing. Would be interested in hearing more about how you’re ha

   I’m doing something similar, except for Stats. I’ve cobbled together a plan based on degree programs from Stanford, CMU, and Berkeley. It would seem easier to stay on track with directed course learning, but how do you stay on track with th

   I've unfortunately experienced that smoker's anxiety of watching the clock and counting backwards, which takes the fun out of it. After probably thousands of cooks, I've learned to give myself way more time than I need mainly

    I think having this "barrier to entry" is important. When I have an idea, I tend to let it sit and re-evaluate after the "lust" stage has died down. Often times, I realize perhaps it wasn't as cool as I thought. If

    That's great, but I think this is even more accomplished than a majority of developers. The majority of developers have a wild or fun sounding idea and pursue it for a few days (guilty of this myself). Most likely, the "fun"
