Ask HN: What's Exciting and Fruitful to Learn?
1 コメント
I’m a lot older than you, I’m sure, but here is something interesting to consider (from my own playbook).
Pick long term projects (requires focus and craft and builds self confidence) in things you are interested in.
Consider the following categories to focus your projects:
- Study - Create - Build - Improve - Play - Explore - Connect
For example: - Study the biology of birds - Create a new form of music - Build a corner of your home for hobbies - Improve your memory - Play a game that has lots of new experiences - Explore a section of your world for its history or architecture - Connect with others through membership in a charity group
Good luck.

I love research but on the academic side I know it is nearly impossible to get back in. I love coding but don't want to just churn out code as some small part of a large project to make more money or be a very slightly better mousetrap as it were. Data science is potentially interesting for the right topic, but what's something that can build off of e.g. the math from physics and research problem solving skills?
What are you excited about? What would you tell someone that is young and without experience to look into, and what is different for someone that can draw on some skills and isn't a young university student?
The latest in LLMs like ChatGPT? Areas ripe to bring an outside perspective and develop new tools? Things to read or people to follow for inspiration?
Thanks HN!
