Consume, Produce, Engage is a good framework to keep track of what is going on in the market. You can learn about the framework:
So far, it is about a deterministic world where if you write a block of code and it has logic, it will work. For senior positions, you have to cross the chasm and move into the business world.
You'll not build application from scratch all the time. All companies need certain applications, like HRMS, Document management systems, marketing automation etc. Learning platforms to launch an idea quickly is a superpower.
The world of technology changes fast. Have a mechanism to keep pace with the changing market conditions. Learn to build radars to scan the market for trends and a means to see whether you will embrace a particular trend or pass it.
Now, you know how to create apps for one-time use. In real-world, you've to continue to update apps; work within team; know how to deploy the app. Also, hopefully your app gets lot of users. So you learn to "scale" your app. Build, Design, Scale - forms foundation layer
Once you build many apps, you will face a few problems again and again. You'll start wondering if anyone solved them. That's an excellent time to learn algorithms and design patterns. They are solutions to common problems in software development.
Start building applications. That's where we all start. May be an api, a mobile app, or a front-end. Learn at least one component from each layer. why? Only then you understand constraints of each stack, which will help you develop a good perspective of software development.

@austinschless I am still trying to understand. Everything is becoming "atomic" - habits, essays :-)
@austinschless Hey @austinschless you talk about atomic essay. What is atomic essay in your opinion?
@seanwes @david_perell @jackbutcher Thanks Sean for these notes. If anyone is interested in another set of notes: Thanks @david_perell & @jackbutcher for the amazing session. Now on to "taking the simple idea seriously"
@RydenMartin @ajlkn @carrd Thank you @RydenMartin (thx also from Jerry)
Do you prefer fame or fortune?
The ideal position is to be at the near-maximum of fortune, and enough fame to earn but not crave more.
fame : “I want to be recognized when I’m with my peers; I don’t care for the rest of the time.”
Ideal Place You should know what wealth and popularity mean to you. Wealth is discretionary time. Money should aid me to be with my boys until they are bored, walk hand-in-hand with my wife through the woods, or talk to a friend-in-need when she needs it.
Rich & Known A lot of people dream of this state. If you desire this place, you should know this: fame is a liability; fortune is a liability. You attract death threats, stalkers, harassment of family members, and extortion attempts. Not cool.
Not Rich & Known Trump is a good example. He used his daddy’s money and borrowed money to put his name on high-rise buildings across New York while filing for bankruptcy more than once. He used his popularity to become the most powerful man in the world.
Rich & Not Known My favorite place. Given a choice, I would like to operate out of a beach house in Malaga and retain the possibility to walk around any town without anyone noticing me.
Not Rich & Not Known We, as a family, have been in this state, and it is no fun. You have to escape this quadrant. Though hard-work might get you out of the misery, most probably you get out of this state because you get outside help and turned lucky.
@alihanif101 Lovely @alihanif101. Congrats
@alihanif101 Thank you Ali

@RuchiAngrish @MasalaBai @me_sagarika > Criminal hackers just need one mistake from you This is the essence of any successful hacking. In a busy life, we overlook certain aspects which open a gap to hack us. Yes it can happen to the best of us.
We can't think of privacy of chats in silo, when we publish our photos, places visited to facebook. We invite such behaviour from companies.
@Aakar__Patel @rohanld @ashoswai Shouldn't these numbers be a ratio (against say GDP etc) rather than absolute numbers?
@hardy_lisa_a @RoamResearch Thank you @hardy_lisa_a for making your village public. So useful.
@madversity @TRAI The problem is compounded by poor customer service. @TRAI does nothing in that side too. Be it Airtel or Jio, they don't care about servicing the customers.
@rishabh_grg @fajarsiddiqFS Good luck guys.
@maaliinsaakka @cemerick @zoho I agree with @maaliinsaakka. I use Zoho CRM / social media. Still I don't understand all that Zoho one give me. I understand I can create a website with forms and connect with other apps. But other than that it is not clear all the benefits "I" get
@AdriaanvRossum There are two sets of people: one who has money; one who has time. Let those who have time host themselves; one who has money come to your hosting. Most devs who turn biz owners, value their time and pay.
@cnu @AdriaanvRossum @usefathom Thats "feels" like cheating, because you don't know what is really running in production; plus it "feels" like you are doing OSS as a marketing gimmick rather than as one concerned about privacy
@jackerhack What Kiran says is correct ONLY ;-) @irenaakbar
@jackerhack @hasgeek You are showing the world that good guys can win. Good work Jack. Continue with it. I wrote after attending Rootconf in Delhi this Jan. Excellent talks combined with great ground work. Keep going @zainabbawa
@maxcuratella Started using Obsidian recently. How do you define "atomic" notes? At what level does it become atomic? That is one thing I have been struggling to define. (btw, I take lot of notes. Just that it is all long form)
@estherschindler Thank you for the tweet.
@Abhishek_Rai Strategically saying yes ;-)
@vijayanands 2020 is strange. We lost so many. May be the world is sending a message and we are all deaf to it.
Call them, meet them, email them. Whatever be the form, tell them thanks. For their inspiration, for their belief in you, for encouraging you. Say it before it is too late.
You are what you are, because of so many. But few played a pivotal role. Don’t wait until after the last minute to convey your thanks. Make a list of people who helped you become who you are.
We have moving eulogies. Why can’t we convey our thanks (and sorry) to our family, friends, and mentors while they are alive? Wouldn’t we make our lives a whole lot better?
Thankfully the coordinator was invited and came for the reunion. I spent an hour with him, sharing and thanking him for all he did to instill confidence in me to speak in public, that too in English.
Before our reunion he passed away. He never shared his medical condition with any of us. We were all shocked. Every time, I think of him, I regret my decision to wait until the reunion to convey my thanks.
We're planning for 25th year reunion, so I thought I will tell him in person. Life had other plans.
In the last 5 years, I started speaking in public. Everytime I sit down to prepare, I thought of Basha. How he scribbled. I asked around to know his details to tell him, how much he meant to me. But I wasn't serious.
After graduation, I left to Chennai, Basha left to Saudi Arabia. There were no facebook, whatsapp. So we lost touch. I also didn't speak publicly afterwards.
