Ask HN: What programming or math advice would you love to give out in 2023?
6 by newsoul | 3 comments on Hacker News.
My advice for CS or mathy people in 2023 would be: 1. CS/Programming - Learn more about programming languages and how they work. Learning it creates mental models which can help you pick up new languages faster and use them more judiciously. Check out Dan Grossman's 3 part Programming Langauages course on Coursera. Or maybe learn some PL Theory. There are many books. Pick what suits you. 2. Math - Learn how to solve Fermi problems or approximation problems. It is also known as Street Fighting Mathematics. It helps develop intuition as to what the answer to a problem can be and provides you with a vague foggy path nonetheless a path to start progressing forward.
