I can say I agree with the thesis. I live alone and have been working remotely and have been struggling with this issue.
If I don’t plan something social end of day, it can feel like a lonely existence.
Occasionally I will go into office and sometimes it leads to good conversations with people outside of my team, which is nice. I do tend to skip it though since it requires effort and planning.
For those looking for ideas, do a sport in evening after work. Or small group fitness classes, maybe you will see a regular you connect with. Dance and art classes are same and mentally relaxing.
I will say the 1hr evening class doesn’t feel enough. I’ve thought about getting a dog many times.
Sorry the opinion was based on the prior version of the book. I took a look at the link. My honest opinion is that binary search is kind of rushed in its break down. On the other hand, I really liked the explanation of the various sliding window problems since that is a topic that is normally not covered in CS fundamentals. I also like the pseudocode -- it reads well. I think a book focused on concepts could serve as a delightful companion to this book. Or simply add the pages. Thanks, i'm sure you will sell tons of copies.
This is a good book but it’s more of a starter step. Not being able to solve the problems (which I think is the common case) should hint to you that deeper review of fundamentals is needed. Unfortunately there are not many resources that teach the fundamentals lucidly, so extensive searching is required.
