Introduction to Cryptography by Christof Paar: https://www.youtube.com/@introductiontocryptography4223. This is a great introductory cryptography course which is perfect to complement the great textbook from the same author.
I have been reading Matt' blog for quite long too. I read his post on his son condition but never really noticed if he really switch his academic careers for his son. I am pasting the really motivating video sharing the story [1] and a NY times article here [2].
I was writing (almost) daily email when I and my wife were in long distance relationship during the time my wife studied for her master degree. It happened just in the early days of our marriage. It was the day before WhatsApp has video call feature and long time before zoom. The small daily email quite helping us to form the bonding. Couple o lf years ago I dumped the email into this blog http://www.dearwifey.com/.
Writing book is my another bucket list beside building a startup. Speaking about scope, writing book is still hard but seems more doable than startup.
I remember have skim your book, although I didn't read every pages. But as any good technical book and as you said, not everyone are having sufficient energy to average 60 hour weeks for 1.5 years. Put aside they are also a parent. :)
I want to be more present during children golden period time. I want to nurture their curiosity, problem solving and creativity, so that they can be better than me in their careers and life. Of course I want to continue to be present as they grow older too. But as they older the attention span needed should be not as much as before.
Yeah I think I should start with simple software side project and taking it slow but steady.
Nice point. I also understand age factor is a myth in determining business success, as presented by Ali Tamaseb in his book Super Founders. About finance, I am thinking to continue working hard and as employee while saving aggressively, have family time and start some idea experimentation part-time. Once the children older, then only will start something more focusely.
Hi, Maximilien. I really like the structure of the books. It starts with "what we will learn" and ends with "test yourself" and key takeaways. The structure can help the reader to really conscious in understanding the learning goals and validating the understanding.
I also always want to write a programming language book or some other technical topic book in general, which the writing process will I use as learning process for myself. But I always wonder in deciding the topic to cover. How do you decide the topics to cover? Do you start from following existing books or online documentation topic sequences? Or just write whatever topic you are interested first and structure the content afterward?
