excitednumber — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 20:00:11 +0000

My process

1 utilize commute time. If you drive: podcasts about things you want to get better at. If you are on a commuter rail (where it’s normal to laptop) mooc or side projects.

2 temptation bundle: you get to do a fun thing if you do the learning etc thing first

3 micro learning: make it easy to pick up your phone and read a few pages vs wherever else you spend your time. Load the book into your reader, download the class for offline etc

I’ve learned an unbelievable amount trying to systematically invest on my own.

All of what I have learned is levered in my career and I’ve utilized that knowledge during all interviews.

I’m really not sure this is right at all.

Start on sleep training as soon as you can. Get on a feeding routine as soon as you can.

Get in a routine with your partner as soon as you can.

You have a solid 3 months of your child being able to sleep on you in a baby wrap while you work if you are wfh. It is a beautiful thing.

It will all be okay. The baby is likely fine. Poop comes in a lot of weird colors.

There are so many various options.

I know this is throwing in a grenade and walking away but what are most people doing?

Specify github repos within meta.yaml for a conda env? Hosting a local pypi server and intall via pip? Using cloud artifacts and also isntall via pip? Local conda index?

None of the above and something else superior?
