codeful | 8 months ago | on: How to Care About Your Job When It Doesn't Care About You

A good article; it resonated with my current situation.

I'd like to share an insight from a workplace where I've been for 10 years and have had 6 different managers and various teams.

When you start working with a new manager or team, hold back on excessive commitment and trust until the first serious crisis arises within the team or department. This usually happens within a few months. It's in serious situations that people's true capabilities are revealed when they're needed most.

check out Hania Uscka-Wehlou (Phd) on Udemy. She teaches mathematics and problem solving the proper way. From the beginning.

Her precalc is ~200h and she goes the rigorous path, by proving things.

She is multiple times awarded by universities for her skills in teaching and you will understand why.

Course is exeptionelly well organized, quality of presentation is... 11/10? Coupon codes are in lecture materials.

Just start with precalc 1. I believe that after a while the path will emerge for you by itself

Edit: combine with professorLeonard on Youtube if you need some practice by computing.

Welcome to the joy of mathematics!

I am speculating that only a fraction of users explicitly shut down a program that appears beasides the clock. Is it truly worth irritating that segment of users? I am one of those who occasionally turns off OneDrive. However, the idea of starting to look for alternatives has only just struck me. I'm really tired of waves of popups everywhere.

i have built my own personal note-taking app based on this technique. This strategy just works very well at scale. Its fast to categorize input and filter content.

read some psychological articles about interpersonal interactions. Group processes. Do not break existing unwritten rules. There is always a some sort of climate in a team/workplace. Observe how other people interact formally and informally. Be more like them and after you are accepted as group member - you then can pursue your own goals. Get to know other people before you roll out your ambitions.
