What Would Be on Your List of Teach Yourself Software Engineering?

Oh i thought this was an actual question and not spam.

Brand new account, one post....

One of the most important skills to develop is the practice of breaking up chunks of work into smaller pieces (and completing them) so that progress can be made on what initially appears to be an insurmountable and abstract problem.

Buy a Raspberry Pi, build a bootable SD card, then teach yourself some system management basics (shell, init, filesystem, etc.)

Eloquent JS is a decent starting point. W3 schools is even better.

But nothing will ever beat opening up notepad++ and making a one file html/css/js website of your own and having to research how to implement every idea in your head!

In my experience most of computer science is about being clever.

ubiquitous artificial general intelligence is for me the obvious contemporary north star.

the problem is that an approach to AGI has yet to be discovered so any content regarding implementing AGI from current literature should be allowed into the conscience with caution.

the solution is to recognize that however implemented the AGI mind will mirror our human mind insomuch as it will be created by other human minds

Therefor a productive question is: how does my mind work? and investigate this question sincerely using your inner voice to map the properties of a thought

then you can endeavor to confidently implement an AGI knowing that whatever content you encounter was developed from an environment similar to the one your inner voice finds itself in.

The key insight to acquire is that the quality of your system will be tied to the quality of inner voice dialogue you have with your self not the quality of books/papers published by others
