vismit2000··on Ask HN: Want to keep my software engineering skills sharp
The Missing Semester of Your CS Education: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ I would say finishing this helped me a lot to learn better and build up on tech stuff I use at my day job. This is a nice short course giving a very useful intro to software engineering tools required upon which you can build up further on the go, otherwise it's very easy to miss those topics and stay an 1x developer.

vismit2000··on The world of Dante's Divine Comedy
For the math geeks out there:

Dante's Paradise, canto XXXIII, lines 133–135, contain the verse:

As the geometer his mind applies To square the circle, nor for all his wit Finds the right formula, howe'er he tries
