on: Ask HN: How's your job search going in this current economy?
Well, I'm currently spending time on going over the Coursera Algorithms course by Sedgewick and Wayne in addition to doing at least 2-3 leetcode problems daily. I'm thinking of having a periodic check-in and code-pair session where we can review and challenge each other. And do the same for systems design/behavioral at some point if that goes well. I have tried pramp in the past and it was useful...until they got bought out. Look up my email and in my profile and hit me up.

Is there any chance you do this group virtually? I tried organizing a group a few year ago and almost got traction but it fizzled out as people moved on. I'm guessing you're in the bay area. I'm in SoCal, but would love to learn from someone like yourself who's been grinding it out and learning. Currently looking for a new position after several years at a company, but taking the long view (it's a marathon and not a sprint etc). I've realized that I haven't invested in my growth as much as I should have. My email is in my profile.

Orgmode has been great. However, after Org Timeline was recently removed, I've struggled to get the same functionality with custom agenda views.

Oil paints and solvents can be pretty toxic! So it can be dangerous if the working conditions are bad.

Well...just because someone learns to code, does not mean they will be able to do it full-time. I don't think we'll run into that problem anytime soon

I agree that it's hard to do. And, Steve may have fostered the school of simple, clean design, but let's not give him credit for everything now. If you ever study Chinese brush paintings, you''ll appreciate how simple and elegant they are...and these have been around for centuries.

on: Ask HN: Best ways to learn new stuff?
I've been in a funk for quite a long time now. I think the most important thing is to establish a vision for your life. What do you want your life to be about? It's a question that might take some time to answer. You could always randomly pick a popular subject to learn (economics, web dev...). But the question you'll have to ask yourself is why do I want to learn one thing over another. Time is the most precious thing you have, and so it's good to have a direction in your life, so that, what do you do is gradually guiding you in that direction. On the other hand, sometimes you could take that analysis to the extreme (called analysis paralysis) and never decide what you want to do. In that case, just pick something that's interesting and stick with it for an extended period. This is something that most of struggle with. There is so much to do, you can flip-flop between activities, never really getting much depth.
Good luck, it's a long journey, but you're already asking the right questions.

on: Learn to Code: Head-to-Head - Lynda VS Treehouse
Good write-up. I'd be interested in a comparison next with a paid versus free offering such as Codecademy, which also offers interactive learning, but without the large library of video tutorials that lynda & treehouse offer.
