Are there communities on Discord/Reddit for what you're doing? I'm interested in dabbling with home automation during my free time.

I stopped viewing it after the UI revamped. It sets me thinking when using it, like solving a mini puzzle.

I can't recommend enough the book Don't Make Me Think.


Outside of Europe.

What about Asia like Thailand and Indonesia?


Same here. Close to 3 years into my first full-time job.

Instead of seeking employment, did you consider creating employment? After being on the job for 3 years, one could identify some repeated problems/gaps. This could be potential startup business idea. I have been a database analyst for coming to 3 years, doing loads of data migration. I saw some gaps that is pretty potential in it too.

Or did you consider furthering your studies to enhance your skillset with e.g. M.Sc. Computer Science?

I am weighing my options.


1. Website: HN

2. Website: Echojs for my JavaScript interest

3. Website: Subreddit Programming for my general interest in programming

4. Magazine: Harvard Business Review for understanding business needs. Reading business case studies help to align my tech skills with business needs. I find this combination particularly essential.

5. Magazine: MIT Technology Review for tech related research

6. Podcast: Nodeup for my nodejs interest

7. Website: Producthunt for uncovering products that I dont know.

Lastly something which you didn't ask. But I want to share is books and video tutorials. Books and videos recommendation is a whole new topic.

Thanks. It looks very interesting.


Thanks for the Echojs recommendation. Looking forward to follow it closely.
