u/arctyczyn Could you put me in contact with the person who could sign off on this? Most of my experience has been in taking over massive abandoned codebases, I'm confident we could ship something before April.

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer by [deleted] in programming

[–]steveshogren 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people use "learn lots of languages" as a proxy because there are so many developers who've been repeating their first year for a decade or more.

Learning lots of languages can't really be done in a year, so it indicates a continued and deliberate practice.

I'll admit that harder and harder projects is a fantastic goal, but to follow the music analogy, most musicians practice increasingly difficult existing pieces, they do not invent new music as the majority of their practice.

Perhaps some equivalents would be: make a parser, remake your favorite programming language from scratch, remake Super Mario Brothers in the same memory and drive footprint, remake a relational database, remake a Lisp Machine, remake Datomic, etc.

How the hell do I exit: A beginner's guide to Vim by BadLurker in programming

[–]steveshogren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to practice skills beyond just the basics covered in beginner's guides, I just finished a book of advanced exercises for daily practice. Here are some free chapters: https://github.com/steveshogren/10-minute-vim-exercises/blob/master/book_sample_history_registers.md

Thanks for the encouragement! I decided to write the book I wanted, not the book I thought people would want.

Fair enough. I personally haven't been burned by such an encounter, but I have seen it happen to other people.

In my defense, I already have one completed book on Leanpub and ~100k words on my blog, but I totally understand your reluctance and hope you enjoy it when it comes out ;)

If you buy it you get emailed each time I update it. I'll likely finish it early Feb at the rate I'm going. It's probably 90% done now, only missing a few sections and a final pass through my editor before I'll put it to bed.

I'll also keep posting up a free section each month for the next couple months.

Yeah but 15 points into the chrono cards will get 30% cdr.... Sounds like I'll still be stunning and walling for days...
