just back online after a day. thank you so much to all who boosted, specially those who shared their experiences and thoughts ( @khleedril, @mdhughes, @SnoozyRests, @wnj, @deafferret, @greggyb and @tokyo_0)
i have poked you folks a bit more for details in your replies, but I’ve already learnt so much. Thank you.
The essence though, is that I am in fact on the right track and I just need to be more patient with myself. and figure out somehow to decouple the learning from the job hunt.

@mwl , would appreciate a boost please?
also (only if you have the time and energy) you’ve pivoted careers. considering you’re writing more of the darned things, how do you work through tech books. would love to hear your learning process

Fellow #Programmers, #Coders (and possibly #Mathematicians) lend me wisdom!
I’m learning from books and I “know” the best way to learn from them is to work through them. But what I don’t know is how I’m doing. I’m often frustrated at my pace, since I don’t know what normal is.
And I need to learn stuff, to land a job. (I’m old. I want to pivot into a remote job, ergo devops. Anyway, that’s enough about me.)
So here’s the question(s),
Please boost, to help a slow learner?! Thank you!

Two good authors I follow, from two different worlds: Kitty Kildare & David Kadavy have had their books blocked on Amazon for unspecified reasons.
@mwl was paranoid when he diversified
@mwl was prescient
and @mwl was right
Buy their books and support them if you can.

Some folks go, he takes 300 pages for something that could’ve been done in a hundred fifty.
to those folks, I say, suck it.
ala Taleb, the point with these books is the journey.

I read #TheTiger by #JohnVaillant in June.
The Amur tiger and the Russian Far East still haunt my mind and soul
