Read, try, read, repeat, is the process I use. I read about a topic, then I do a practical attempt (which most times fails), then I go back and read the topic again. I then repeat this until I'm comfortable with the topic, both concept

Also Albertan. Maybe it's unrealistic but I agree it would be pretty awesome to see in my lifetime. Would also be cool to see Alberta get on the map for something other than oil.

Do you know of any local developer communities? A slack channel for devs in your area, perhaps. Usually they have job channels but also the best people to know about jobs in the industry are developers themselves. Check out /r/for

Agriculture is just kicking off now too. You're right, it's consuming the world.

I'm usually in bed 9:30pm. I find it hard to go to sleep that early though, so sometimes I get behind on my sleep and I notice it immediately.

Been doing this routine for just over a year now. I wake up at 4:45am, head the gym and do an hour workout. When I get home I make breakfast and eat. Then I catch up on news/tech articles for 20 minutes while drinking a coffee, followe

I've gotten about two years worth of contracting work from posting on one of these threads. A lot of tire kickers, and a lot of "take this test and then we'll talk" offers as well. I just ignore those, but I think, in ge

Python and Javascript mostly. I just use online job boards, communities like HN and reddit, slack communities, etc. Close to zero networking, though I'm sure it would help. I wrote an article a little while ago about how I approach fin

Also Canadian but I typically contract to US companies and have for the last 8 years or so. Put away a nice big rainy day fund. I try to aim for 3-6 months of full living expenses. You'll need this to fill the gaps between contracts. F

Maybe the original idea behind IH was to provide success stories to learn from. It seems to have evolved though. To me, IH is a community of people going through the same struggle. Some are just starting, some are in the thick of it, and so

As an app developer, I can vouch for finding k8 to feel frustratingly complex. My current client work has recently shifted to using k8. I took the time to get minikube working locally to get a better understanding. It definitely helped, but

These are all great. I started writing the article with the intention of including the soft skills mentioned by everyone but it quickly became very long. Part two will have soft skills and I'll make sure to include your notes.
