jiu jitsu is what i would recommend. Physical development at those ages have a correlated impact on intelligence later on. And martial arts teach emotional regulation which is also correlated with better grades in school.

I cant think of any objective reason this would be true. Salaries are going up and our influence in the world is just going up. Through covid our value seems to have gone up even more actually.

It takes on average 10-20 minutes. Sometimes maybe say 10-15 % of the times I continue working on a note at home and those times the note turns into more of a wiki page because it is something that I deem worthy of more research and so on.

I use Obsidian to take the notes then go through them just before leaving work and make them into something more useful if it is needed and add them to my web of knowledge inside obsidian.

The remarkable is one of the best things I have bought. It has single handededly made me read more and take so much more notes and read much more interactively and thus learning more. But it is not that good for reading PDF's if that is something you are looking to do. Also it's not possible to read on half the page and take notes on the other which is a feature I would really like, anyway just my 2 cents :D

Thank you for these examples I will look into them :)

I would love to get a list of even say 3 or 5 books then that you think are "real". Im genuinely curious about this, i dont mean to come of as standoffish :)

isnt scala having a kind of resurgence at the moment though? I think saying Scala "was" hot is not correct, but then again I'm working with data as a data engineer so my perspective is probably quite biased/skewed.

I started to use the system a few months back and it is exactly the thing that I feel like I had been looking for, for years. It allows me to read very actively and retain the knowledge for a long time and even write my own pieces based on what I have read in different books and so on. Also it not only allows me to reflect on what I read in a real and productive way but it also acts like my own personal wiki. But setting it up and figuring out how to incorporate it into ones life takes some time and thought but for me it's time very well spent.

As a side note it is important to not use the system as just a dump of ideas and loose notes. Those are good as a starting point but I would recommend that you go through your loose notes and ideas twice every week. This is so that you can either make them permanent notes or just throw them away.

One last thing is that I have found that the combination of this + anki makes it really easy for me to commit stuff to memory and really speeds up my learning process by a huge margin. I wish I had discovered this way of reading and learning when I was in uni xD

Gain mastery over some field and start chunking. This idea of chunking is something that was discovered when measuring the intelligence and memory of chess grand masters. It was found that they did not have higher intelligent or better memories. Instead what was happening was that they had started chunking their knowledge and thus could process the data (chess board) much faster and efficiently and this allowed their minds to work on doing something new, since all the obvious moves where already intuitive for them.

I would actually love to know what resources you used to teach yourself backend development if that is possible!

To help out with your question this https://teachyourselfcs.com/ is a resource i have heard good things about.
