There is already something similar, although a 3rd party service https://www.bountysource.com/

Which podcasts are you listening for the purpose of learning?

I'm reading a lot about Elixir on HN, what are good resources to start learning it?

I see a lot of todos for your books, did you already read these books and just didn't write down the notes or are you planing on reading these books and writing the notes "live"?

I used also just one notebook and wrote everything down randomly with a lot of arrows and numbers/symbols referencing each other, but it was impossible to use the notes for learning. So I switched to multiple notebooks, it helped somewhat.

Our way of notetaking is just write-only.

But I'm trying to improve it.

Thanks for your comment.

I'm not trying to optimize for short term usage, in the beginning it is short term obviously, but I would like to be able to use the notes to repeat the topics and move them to my long term memory. That's my problem my notes aren't that clear to use them as a reference.

And for Anki/Flashcards I didn't find a good way to use them for CS topics, and more importantly for math.

You're saving yourself really some time when using digitalocean, they work without a problem and you know exactly how much you're paying at the end.

When you're a student you can get even 50$ credit through Github https://education.github.com/pack.

In my opinion it's worth it.

Mindmaps never worked for me, like you said they take up a lot of space and I quickly lose the overview. Maybe I should work on it.

I'm also using ? if something is unclear during my lectures.

Hi great offer, how did you get these domains in the first place?

How did you start with such a project? Any reading you would suggest to learn more about this topic?

These are the podcasts I'm subscribed to:

Tech related

    - hanselminutes (Interviews with developers)
    - software engineering radio (Interesting software dev topics, but man the audio quality is bad)
    - a16z (Interviews with founders/devs topics range from mobile, VR, bitcoin etc.)
    - programming throwdown (About development)

Startup related

    - startups for the rest of us (Talks about bootstrapping your own startup )
    - the startup chat(Hiten Shah & Steli Efti talk about sales/marketing)
    - founders journey (Baremetrics blog articles in audio form)
    - rogue startups (Currently a really interesting series about finding a market and launching a WP Plugin)
    - Startup (Podcast about startups, every season 1 startup, great storytelling)

Other

    - the great debates (Comedy podcast, really funny)
    - surprisingly awesome (Explains why some seemingly boring things are actually cool)
    - 99% invisible (Talks about the "design" of all kind of things, really interesting)
    - reply all (Stories about the internet)
    - hardcore history (3+ h long episodes about world history e.g WWI)
    - serial (great storytelling)

Hi a small note, it's impossible to see links on your blog, make them easier to recognize.

I do plan to reference back to the notes or else they would be meaningless. My current solution is to add categories to the posts and the use jekyll to generate a page where I create a headline for each category and link to all related posts there. This may not be the final solution, it was thrown together one evening so there's improvement.

I don't know how this will scale since I just started this project.

A few weeks ago there was a post[0][1] on hn from a guy who wrote a daily til for a whole year.

I stole his idea[1] and created jekyll blog on Github, I can just create a new .md file and put the things for the til down. With the new upload feature from github you can also just write the md file locally and just drop it in.

I like it so far, just need to get in the habit of writing it down daily.

Yes it should be something like a mastermind group, I'll check out the link later do you have any experience with the service?

Maybe the guy just wanted to use his personal laptop rather than set up a new one, and it wasn't a decision from OP to save money.

I had one running with Ubuntu, and after around two/three weeks the Nuc didn't want to boot, no reaction when pressing the on button, but lan led was on. Then I got another one and the same thing happened after a month or so. Afterwards I've decided not use a Nuc again.

But in our customer support everybody has a Nuc and they're running fine, I was the only one with these problems.

Probably I'm just unlucky.

Interesting idea how do you get the names? My initial idea would be to crawl some social networks for the name.

There was a thread already a few days ago if you want to see other predictions about tech https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10795296

Could you tell me more about the meetup for knowledge exchange, what exactly do you imagine? Sounds interesting.

Theres molitn (https://moltin.com/) from the YC15 batch, I haven't tried maybe it's for you.

Bit off-topic: At my last workplace they used to push our code for several ecommerce sites to production on fridays, every week, without tests. It somehow worked out.

I try to get my bloat down, I just load the components which I'm going to use (most of the time it's the grid).

There are some tools like purifycss [1] which can delete unused css

I'm a beginner here so sorry for if it's a stupid question. I work with GitFlow and the only things I use are commits and checkouts, but for what do you use Git?

About which powerful features are you talking about, does anyone have a link with some more in depth informations?

I've finally started reading the book after reading about it on every corner. I'm halfway through and it's really good. A lot of information without unneeded fluff.

I've worked with Angular in the past few months and now I've started with React, I kind of like it till now.

Also I want to get more on the backend side so I've done some small projects with Node but I'm going to start to learn PHP and Symfony2 since there are no Node jobs where I'm from.

And generally I'm trying to improve the quality of my code, so I'm working slowly through Code Complete 2.

Hi, can you elaborate more about your carreer path. I'm currently in a simmiliar position.

short answer is yes, just make some things that show your knowledge. But I wouldn't suggest to drop out.

A little bit longer answer: I'm from Germnay, I've studied architecture but I've decided last year I want to make my hobby my job, and I've applied for a few jobs and got some offers. On a sidenote our (sofware) architect did never finish school.

But I have a huge knowledge gap compared to my coworkes who have studied CS. I personally feel inferior to them. So I'm going back to university to study CS. I would suggest you shouldn't drop out.

I've tried Angular and Firebase for a few small protoypes, it's incredibly fast to create something to present. I really like the User authentication.

Are you currently using both in production, do you have maybe an link to your app?

I know, park.io was kind of the reason I've created it. Wanted to get my feet wet in the domain area. ::D
