Advice
This is some advice, use it, or ignore it, who cares.
Life
- Try to figure out what makes you happy, and do more of that
- If you don’t know how to say sorry when you do something stupid, learn.
- When life sucks, run, or exercise, it’s the only thing that works
Computers
- Get a mac, time capsule, time machine, and offsite backup. That ensures you’ll never loose data.
- Learn Emacs, Doom Emacs is cool, but be sure to disable evil-mode.
Programming
Find a problem that you really want to solve, and learn a programming language to solve it. There is absolutely no point in saying “I want to learn programming”, then sitting down with a book to read about programming, and expect that you will learn programming that way. It will not happen. The only way to learn programming is to program, a lot.
Circuits
- Learn to check your assumptions. You will make mistakes, and you need to get good at finding the mistakes you made.
- Take your time to write a verification plan. And stick to it. Without sufficient simulation your circuit will not work.
