Thank you! I just listened to this episode and the added context of ”Ryle's notion of theory” was a great contribution to understanding this paper better.
I still have this 90s' feeling that the internet connects me to the world, news, science and culture. I really miss it when I don't have it. But I never use social media, so maybe that's why I'm so positive.
I have this Book sitting on my bookshelf. It will be my next interpreter book after “Writing an interpreter in Go” - it’s only ~200pages and I really like it.
As many others have pointed out, “sleep as much as you need”, my brain is on a completely different level after a good night’s sleep - especially after having kids.
This reminds me of my first real dev job, 10y ago, making small facebook games with https://phaser.io it was actually kind of fun now that I think back.
Im currently taking this course without having the book and it works great. I might buy the book later but for me it’s important to have the imposed weekly deadlines in order to not just drift away and do something else instead.
