My best tips on learning/reading/studying!

Have you tried Medium?
I had a blog about soft skills some time ago, I never had an issue with bots.

Truly wish there were more free Elixir screencasts.

I usually prefer the good old manual copy. But I am intrigued, what is so special about Kindle’s ? Don’t they burn your eyes with blue light like any other screen?


I would say the most important thing about learning can be summarized in a quote by Dr. Phill:

The difference between a dream and a goal are deadlines and accountability.

Set up specific goals with timelines. Things like “learn pattern matching” are horrible goals. A precise example would be “create a module that has 5 functions using pattern matching instead of if clauses”.

And set a deadline. “I will learn Elixir someday”. Guess what, someday is not a day of the week. Pick a day of the week and go for it.

Be accountable. Have you succeeded? Awesome, go have a candy. Have you failed? Examine why and try again, try harder - don’t give up. Being accountable is admitting you failed and continue on the road to your objective.

Hope my different vision helps :stuck_out_tongue:
