I would love to delve into GNU Radio - but not really sure where to start without a background in communication theory. Should I start by reading a textbook on electronic communication? My background is "EE"CS, with 90% being cs.

This advice is wrong on so many levels. What gets you promoted is being aligned with your leadership and being easy going. You'll get bonus points if your skip level likes you - it usually makes promotions come quicker. Aside from my t

n=1 but over my 15 year career I've tried picking up elixir and found it too difficult to learn. I found the syntax hard to read and felt I had to spend 2x more time digesting a similar method than in scala/java (my background). I
