Hi All !
Here is the weekly summary of Technical / Non-Technical topics that I found very resourceful.
Technical:
- “Intermediate Vim “- has daily usable and highly productive Vim commands listed.
- You have heard about git a lot, but don’t know where to get started ? - “Learn how to use Git (from basics)” . This would take your 30minutes.
- “Introduction to Computation and Programming using Python.” - Course has been taken by a million people. You will learn to think computationally and write programs to tackle useful problems. The course is free to try. Also, here is “Intro video” about the course.
- Here is how Python is used at Netflix. - “Python at Netflix.”
- Want to do some web-scrapping with Python and need some ideas about the same. - Check the comments!
Non-Technical :
- Have you ever had an idea of getting your personal website, but then didn’t spend enough time to make it happen ? Here is another reason to get back to that idea. - “You should have a personal website.”
- A study on how much money professionals make across different fields. Study link. Results link. Note: Make sure to use filters for the results.
- Practical career advice - “Career advice I wish I’d been given when I was young.”
- A view on current state of Internet:
- An extract from the book that I loved :
“A lion is fully capable of capturing, killing, and eating a field mouse. But it turns out that the energy required to do so exceeds the caloric content of the mouse itself. So a lion that spent its day hunting and eating field mice would slowly starve to death. A lion can’t live on field mice. A lion needs antelope. Antelope are big animals. They take more speed and strength to capture and kill, and once killed, they provide a feast for the lion and her pride. A lion can live a long and happy life on a diet of antelope. The distinction is important.”

Have a great week ahead!
