Modern Software Engineering

University of Anarchism - SWE Resource Library and MSc STEAM Curriculum

Knowledge, Education, and Instruction must be open and free with no exception.
Hierarchy must permanently be abolished.

Wake up dog, we're being enslaved! No gods, no masters! All hierarchical power structures are inherently evil, no matter what they call themselves or what they promise. They'll do whatever it takes to maintain the asymmetries of power, wealth, and information, whether it's deception, manipulation, coercion, or violent domination. Means and ends are inseparable.

buddhistanarchism

(a manifesto).

"Birth, old age, sickness, and death, are the realities of the world."

"The world is unstable and swept away. The world has no shelter and no savior. The world has no owner—you must leave it all behind and pass on. The world is wanting, insatiable, the slave of craving." - MN 82

"A wise man should avoid unchastity as a pit of glowing charcoal. If unable to lead a celibate life, he should not go to another’s wives." - KN Snp 2.14

"Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself." - KN Dhp 103

Knowledge, Education, and Instruction should be open and free. Hierarchy must be abolished.

...more

Hierarchy is inherently problematic because it will always have the problem of asymmetries: power and information, and thus, will inevitably lead to corruption and exploitation.

Hierarchical power structures are inherently evil because they will always seek self-perpetuation using any mean possible, whether it's deception, manipulation, coercion, or violent domination, no matter what they call themselves - mean-end disunity. In this way, a minority of elites can control and exploit the population.

If God created the universe, who created God? If God doesn't need a creator, so does the universe. The concept of a Creator God, universal consciousness, or any of those vague terms, is just pure absurd and utterly useless, made by grifters, preys on your delusion and insecurity. If anyone worthy of being called a Creator, a God, that's your mother and father. They've literally created you, showed you the world, and they're your first teacher. It's hard to repay them.

"Wage slavery refers to a person's dependence on wages or a salary for their livelihood, in a world where the distribution of and conditions for these wages is determined by a specific class."

Copyright Law, NDAs, Cease and Desists, etc. are capitalist mechanisms created for the perpetuation of slavery and monopoly. "Copyright isn't about paying artists, it's about being an idea landlord. In the end, "intellectual property" only serves to exclude the poor from accessing and using knowledge and culture. It's one of the pillars of capitalism." All forms of knowledge and education should forever be open and free without any restriction.

It's just rebranded feudalism, where the elites own all the lands and means of production, most wealth are inherited, self-made is a myth created to gaslight the masses, while slavery becomes systemic. "Butttt, you can choose your employer." Good luck saying this with a hobo, a neet who for years cannot land a single job, or a minimum wagie. The vast budget (thievery via taxes) in the army, wars, law enforcement, subservient school systems, consumerism propaganda, and entertainment industrial complex is solely for protecting the system and to make the population dull and indulging. The elites, meanwhile, prepped for the worst with their underground cities and luxury New Zealand villas. They can just safely farm the population, and everything is going as planned.

I. Preparation for Job Search and Realities of the Industry

  • If you’re following along this list, you may need to have a proof of work, i.e. a document or a portfolio to list all of your projects ordered by themes, this acts as a degree for when you go to interviews (up).
  • It’s essential to be able to read official documentations, search on Google, and prompt the AI. But be aware that AIs can hallucinate stuffs, last time I ask Bard it said its hallucination rate is 57%.
  • Keep resume simple, condense, one single page if possible, don’t leak your picture or address, and don’t lie or add unnecessary things.
  • Avoid scammy recruiters, offshore sweatshops, and dodgy domains like gambling, drugs, drinks, dating apps, weapon sellers, blockchain, property development, PR, quant.
  • Don't talk or even look at women in your workplace unless for urgent work related reasons, to avoid false accusation, defamtion, and envy from fellow male employees.
  • Again, don't work for anyone for free especially unpaid internship, avoid one-way interviews, send them introduction videos/voices, too much personal information, take homes (demand standard compensation rate instead), etc..
  • One applicant per day is a good rate, too much will lead to overwhelm and drop in quality of job and preparation. Upwork, Workable, GolangProjects, Turing, Toptal, LinkedIn, etc. Or just directly apply to the companies' career portal.
  • Practice makes perfect, just keep studying, building pet projects, implementing your practical ideas, and interviewing a lot & take notes.
  • It’s just a number game, don’t take it personally if you constantly fail, keep up the grind.
  • Even if you’re employed, don’t stop job seeking, or else you will get complacent, delusion, and atrophy. And you have zero leverage in case of laid off.
  • Understand that companies will do whatever it takes to force you to work as much as possible and pay you as little as possible, so don't rely on recognition or some shit, always have backup plans, only you can protect yourself.
  • If you're still in school just finish them, get that degree. Despite their pointlessness, having them helps a bit. Meritocracy is a myth. But still it's always important if you have the real skill to back yourself up. This is why this resources guide exist. If you're a drop out, you will need to work twice as hard and apply quadruple as much. Life is rigged and cruel, you just have to bite the bullet, know the game and how to navigate it.
  • Building your own knowledge base with free/OSS tools like Anki, and Vim/Neovim (back) (up).

J. Pet Project Ideas

Try to build them yourself without watching tutorials. I gathered some these on the internets, not all are my original ideas. If you want to work with an open source project, contact their team first and see how it goes. Please don't spam open source projects fishing for contribution, it's just not worth it and you only degrade yourself, only if you're using the software and run into problems, then try report the issue and contact the maintainer first. Check out the Nix Drama.
Build ones that are not too basic and you can explain them well. Also check the project based learning list.

  • Something that you are interested on or have a need to solve, ad blockers, bypass paywalls, your personal website, discord bots, tools and mods for hobbies or video games you're playing, emulator, memory trainer, repertoire trainer, maze solver robot, automated irrigation system with an app for calibrations and monitoring, sudoku solver, ant simulator, genetic algorithm visualizer, invent a new board game, schema generator, or just simply automate and sync your daily repetitive tasks (back) (up).

L. Interview Prep Template

I'm looking for a full-time software development job in X (A, B, C; great if remote). Back-end or full-stack regarding anything Go and/or JavaScript (Node, React and Vite, React Native, and a little bit of Next). I love to work on a quality product or project with proper git workflow, code review, and unit tests. My salary requirements: $X-X/month gross with standard benefits (9-to-5, 13th month pay, full social insurance, health insurance, yearly health check, etc.) (back).

Introduction (up)

  • I'm Lavantien, a Y born in X, and I studied computer engineering at UIT, majoring in embedded systems, and minoring in robotics. Now I'm working mostly as a web developer, I enjoy programming and solving problems. I mostly use Go and JavaScript. I can do front-end but I love develop my back-end skill because there's always something new to learn, like networking, protocols, security, dealing with distributed systems and databases, setting up a robust testing pipeline, and working with third-party integrations and cloud services. During the 7 years of my web development career, I've been involved in some large projects like ETCC E470 and Ackio Mesh, but most of them were small projects and startups where I had the chance to build things from the ground up and participate in the whole development process.

Values that I will bring to the team (up)

  • Good sense of responsibility.
  • When in doubt, I always directly ask questions and clarify with others. I'm open to feedback and welcome criticism.
  • I am good at analyzing problems, reading documentation, and searching for solutions. I always try to find the best ways to save costs and improve profitability for my clients.
  • I have a strong foundation of core programming techniques, data structures and algorithms, design patterns, and networking. I have a robust mental model for debugging and writing code.
  • And I am very intimate with all aspects of backend development and all the nuances of the Go and JavaScript languages. I am very familiar with complex code bases, distributed systems, and third-party integrations.
  • I focus on team objectives. I have a win-win mentality.
  • I love to learn from other people and to constantly improve myself.

Potential incompatibilities with company culture (up)

  • I don't want to speak with anyone unless it's necessary for the job.
  • I don't like to work on a legacy code base or just pure maintenance work.
  • I don't like most of the meetings where people are just bantering and wasting time on what could be just email.
  • I don't like to give vague estimations. I hate it when PMs give unrealistic timelines just to
  • I might come across as being critical, as I don't want to flatter.
  • I love meritocracy. I hate micromanagement, nepotism, cronyism, and favoritism regarding performance reviews.

Description of my favorite project (up)

  • It was a remote international team at Dropezy, a quick commerce app that allows customers to quickly buy necessities like food, vegetables, water, toiletries, etc., applies discounts with a seamless payment process, guaranteed delivery in under 15 minutes, no matter where they are located in supported cities. Our code base is entirely in Go and Flutter. We use GRPC with Protobuf for communication, HTTP callbacks for third-party integrations, and Docker Compose for local development. Our code base is comprised of four monorepos: one for the backend, one for the mobile app, one for the protobuf schemas, and the last one for platform tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, and GCP. I'm fortunate to join in very early in the development process, and I'm also fortunate to be a part of the first production release. My work there focuses mostly on the inventory-order-payment-delivery pipeline, delivery services integration, research on geolocation optimization, writing unit tests to ensure proper coverage, and lastly optimizing MongoDB aggregation pipelines.

Role play a daily meeting (up)

  • Yesterday I've been working on the ticket A, already resolved it.
  • encountered some problems regarding development environment but able to sort them out with the help of the team lead.
  • Also I've been pair-programming with B for the past week to work on feature C,
  • Today I'll continue with my other tickets as well as pair-programming with B to finish off C, we'll see how it goes.

Points I would like to clarify with HR (up)

  • Real salary range? Full social insurance? Payment method and frequency?
  • Yearly health checkup? PTO policy? OT policy? Work log?
  • 13th month policy? Project bonus?
  • Who are the clients of the company? What are the domains of projects in the company? What are the sources of funding? How stable is the profitability of the company?
  • What is the longest project in the company, and how did it end up?
  • Layoff possibility? "We can keep the contract but no more salary, or you can write a resignation letter"?
  • Is there nepotism in the company (e.g., HRM is the CEO's wife and CTO is the CEO's brother)? Cronyism? Favoritism regarding performance reviews? Micromanagement?

Questions I would like to ask the tech lead (up)

  • Is there a minimum standard for the code base? Like, regression testing, 80% on the test coverage, or all PRs need to be reviewed and rebase before merging? And what does the CI pipeline look like?
  • Are there sufficient onboarding documentation and a development wiki? How many SLOC in the code base?
  • What are the problems that you expect this position to solve? Could you describe a typical ticket or story?
  • How are stories and tickets divided? What does a typical sprint look like? Timeline and release cycle?
  • How are estimations and decisions made? Evident-based solutions, data-driven approach, i.e., profiling and benchmarking first? Does the team keep decision records?
  • I've heard about the term, but what are your definition of Clean Code? Who decided whose code is cleaner?
  • How many users are the system serving? What kind of architecture? Why chose microservices? What are the network latency between each service and the amount of serialization and deserialization on each request? Are you solving problems you don't have?
  • How does the team evaluate performance? What are the specific metrics? Are there peer reviews?
  • What are the types of meetings? How does each of them go? What does a typical working day look like?

Feedback for the interview process (up)

  • Try to focus on the positive (back).

M. Some non-free resources

N. Streamlined Noob to SWE L7 Roadmap - The Foundation

0. Orientation and Onboarding

  • Welcome to University of Anarchism, Department of STEAM Education (not the one in Paris), you don't need any qualification or tuition to attend, and you'll get a MSc in Software Engineering official degree at the end of your journey.
  • I, a Buddhist Anarchist, will be your professor (or more correctly, you're your own professor). You're not study for exams, but for yourself, so take it seriously. The system is rigged, yes, but it's not the reason for you to be lazy, be ready to put in at least 10 000 hours (8 hours a workday for 4 years non-stop). Be a long-term strategist, not a dopamine chaser.

A. The Curriculum

  • You'll be proficient in 14 programming languages, 3 natural languages, learn how to survive in the modern Western world as a broke incel without any inheritance, and become an independent, free, self-sufficient, and mature man, a man of integrity:

    • Lua, Python, C, C++, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, Rust (10 core)
    • Zig, Lisp, Ocaml, Scala (4 off)
    • HTML, CSS, Bash, JSON, YAML, etc. (∞ support)
    • English, Pali, Mandarin (3+ spoken)
    • have a structured life, long term thinking, and the ability to delay gratification,
    • strong theoretical foundation and how to apply them,
    • bottom-up approach of building enduring knowledge:
      • the art of inner peace and wisdom: morality and ethics, health and habits, buddhism and anarchism,
      • social science: philosophy and psychology, game theory and economics, social science and humanities,
      • natural science: applied maths, applied physics, applied biology,
      • computer science: computer engineering, first principles, basic tech primitives,
    • and related technologies and methodologies for real world industry-grade and enterprise systems thorough this section (jump).

  • Warning: Carefully read through the Notes section and all the notes here first before proceeding, most of your questions were probably answered, RTFM (read the fucking manual). If you don't even know wtf is programming then this process will take many years, at least 10,000 quality hours! And this is not a get-rich-quick bootcamp or a one-trick-pony roadmap, it's just a plan to build good habits and real practical software engineering skills.

(top).

B. Orientation

  • If you're still in school, try to study your way to the top and earn the full university scholarship (especially HYPSM or Caltech) to ease the monetary burden; if you're working and/or didn't have a degree yet, plan on saving money and come back to school to get a good A-grade engineering degree and self-study IELTS Academic 8.0+, it does really help in this recession and overstaturated market, and it opens the door for moving abroad to US or EU if you're currently living in a shithole country.

  • If you're a neet, try collegemaxxing, a trade degree or BSc in CS is better than nothing, refer to the point above; do 9 hours of deep work/study on mon, tue, thu, and fri, and relax on wed, sat, and sun; constantly building your skill up and applying to jobs; don't slacking off and throw your life away for no reason,

  • Minimum wage math: $15/h (federally mandated starting 2025)

    • -> $600/w -> $2600/m -> $31200/y.
    • If you're a mid-level SWE and not even making minimum wage, regardless of your country, then there's something wrong and you're being seriously ripped off somewhere.

  • How long til your first 100k in cash with minimum wage?

    • -> after taxes (18% or $468), rent ($500), expenses, food, water, logistics ($280), and college debt or pay back to your parents ($250)
    • -> ~$1100
    • -> you can hard-save $1k (preferably in .9999 gold, don't trust the bank), and spend the rest however you want
    • -> 8 years of living frugally (a real minimalist) and saving every single cent, for your first $100k.

  • Plan out your long term goals and make a detailed daily plan like this, everyday, set out at least 6 hours to focus on a single task, whether it's follow this curriculum, study from a book, study a spoken language, or study for school; keep yourself healthy and lean in both body and mind, by remember these 22 rules of thumb:

      1. 7-8 hours window for sleep (22:00 - 06:00, 8.5-9 hours if you're under 21 for optimal height gain); 30 minutes of total meditation time; 15 minutes of total sunlight exposure for vitamin D; self training in muay/boxing and staff for basic self defense, never let the bullies have chance to disrepect you, non-lethally drop them quick and dip asap,
      1. walk at least 7k steps (or 1 hour of brisk walking) before evening (to avoid stepping on insects) as the baseline activity; parallelly do push ups, pull ups, squats, and rope skipping for both strength and endurance; don't go to the gym or buy supplements as they're a scam; don't lock your leg while standing,
      1. strictly abstain from all alcohol, nicotine, and psychoactive substances, even just a single drop, because it disrupts mindfulness, disrupts sleep, make you depend on them, and opens door for heedlessness and evil tendencies; try staying low and avoid attention (good opsec hygiene) to avoid enemies eyeing on you,
      1. reduce sugar, sugary drinks, added-sugar, soy-based, caffeine, and processed or refined carbs and foods; 1.5l of water (just get a 1.5l reusable bottle) per day should be plenty, too much will cause water retention; aim for a BMI of 18.5-20.8 and 10-12% BFP (men),
      1. eating in one or at most two meals a day; replace junk carbs and trash foods with mostly vegetables, fruits, and pasture raised eggs; avoid eating at night and snacking at the wrong times; try to do only one task at a time (don't bring phone when you're taking a shit),
      1. maintaining (your weight in kg)x1.2 g of protein for maximum strength gain (not muscle gain); eggs are a good source of healthy protein, B12, and other vital nutrients; a kebab contains 40g of protein; don't use protein power,
      1. have other activity like study, reading, or other hobbies to offset the food cravings; seriously take care of your hygiene and have tidy living space; brush your teeth twice a day, and optionally clean your tongue,
      1. calculate your TDEE maintenance calorie and plan your meals at daily 200-500 calorie deficit (adjust this base on your illness history),
      1. strictly keep these 5 hard limits (non-negotiable and uncompromised); train yourself to say no to justifications, temptations, and distractions; seek internal validation instead of external; remember that society forces us to move at the pace of the slowest person from a young age,
      1. your brain, especially the parts that responsible for reasons and emotions control, is underdeveloped until 27, take this into account when making decisions; there are an unfathomable number of weak, pathetic, and sad men,
      1. reduce anger and envy as much as possible, don't put so much weight on your emotions; never gamble; avoid cheap dopamine or it will fry your brain; do a bit of soft-looksmaxxing and tongue posture,
      1. most emotions are worthless and very deceptive (except the big four: good-will, compassion, rejoicing, and equanimity), they come and go; so, stop staying indulged, never give into stupid peer pressure, dump all your bad friends and influences, and never look back, never make excuses for your laziness, instead, always find ways to be more diligent,
      1. remind yourself of death everyday (memento mori), Human Decomposition, Darwin Awards, Accidents Awareness, and Some Of You May Die,
      1. remind yourself everyday: "I am the owner of my deeds and heir to my deeds. Deeds are my womb, my relative, and my refuge. I shall be the heir of whatever deeds I do, whether good or bad."; do everything with full focus and full awareness of your intention,
      1. don't ever show your vulnerabilities or weeknesses to anyone, set clear boundaries and inform people about it; don't ever be a simp or a cuck, don't waste your wealth on women or protitutes; be careful with medical staffs and organ harvesting; don't ever join the army under any circumstance, you're just die and kill for the rich,
      1. stay away from the grifters (upsell, funnel, pyramid, ponzi, mlm, mmo, smmo) and don't waste money on supplements, drugs, courses, memberships, or subscriptions; putting up paywalls and threats of violence for information is immoral in the first place, fuck copyright,
      1. strictly stay away from pornography, masturbation, and gooning/edging; generally avoid women especially at your workplace, to avoid false accusations; fuck them bitches, focus on your study and career instead,
      1. if you still have parents, treat them right, pay due respect to them, there won't be another chance; if you want to see God, go and see your parents; take regret as a proof of growth,
      1. the only hierarchy that you should respect is the seniority regarding the field that you're participating, pay due respect to people who are more senior than you, and actually learn from their experience and don't make the same mistakes as them,
      1. regarding societal promiscuity and degeneracy, for men who are 29 and older but yet to married (to a woman who younger than them), total and complete celibacy (brahmacariya) is the only conclusion and the only solution, they should pour all their their resources and time into study, career, taking care of their parents, or the spiritual path, not in women; they will suffer greatly in the long run if they choose anything else,
      1. if you have no reason to live for yourself, then live for your parents, or live for the poor and destitute, or have compassion for later generations, or just simply pursue the spiritual life to end reincarnation once and for all (death is not the end and there's very little chance that you'll be reborn again as a human); have some shame and don't be a parasite, a thief of your parents wealth, don't waste your life away just because of them slutty hoes, don't ever consider ropemaxxing, suicide is almost always a stupid, lazy, cope out, and coward thing to do no matter how you see it,
      1. strive to gradually cultivate good habits and abolish bad habits, take it one day at a time; if you want to be a leader, lead by example; eventually, being a man of integrity will be your personality.

  • All of the above are the minimum basis to maintain good physical and mental heatlh. If you choose to skip them, you shouldn't complain about depression, anxiety, OCD, ODD, ADHD, PTSD, BPD, DPDR, (or all of the other made up bullshit to make you feel special, backed by big pharma and the mental health industrial complex, despite a hedonistic lifestyle indulging in alcohol, drugs, shitty foods, and sex everyday), nor about your shitty life.

  • For self-taught independent dev, landing a decent job (non-sweatshop) is like winning lottery, it's just pure statistics, it's mostly luck, but you'll need skills to back up the luck when it comes; it's normal nowadays to apply to 1000 jobs with tailored resume and cover letter and not even getting a single call back; the reality is that 99% of all the job postings are fake, most of them are just a facade for internal promotions or a dick-measuring contest to reassure the shareholders.

C. Onboarding

  • To be quite efficient with all of them, with each language, on the saturday, set out a 2-4 focused hours, treat it as recreational programming and try to do yourself on your own:

    • 99 Problems (go),
    • Game of Life and Rule 110 (go, go),
    • Advent of Code (go),
    • 75 Problems - LeetCode Study Plan (go),
    • using all of the free AIs (Perflexity, Copilot, ChatGPT, Codeium, Claude, Gemini) for additional research,
    • a schema parser (go),
    • Mindsweeper, Sudoku and solver, or Gomoku with embedded AI; firing squad synchronization simulation (go),
    • Algorithms benchmarking, comparing, and visualizer;
    • an SQLite REST API with caching, rate limiting, authen/o, validators, migration, etc., and full test suite,
    • a multipage React/Vite UI for the above backend, or try different libraries/frameworks,
    • a concurrent data fetcher/scrapper and processor with database indexer,
    • a pub-sub system and a chat app on top of it (go),
    • a distributed or microservices system using GRPC and NATS/Kafka with Podman, K8s, and OpenTf (go, go),
    • tools for video games you're playing; bots; automation,
    • looking for freelance gigs or side jobs,
    • and try concepts from the K. Real World Interview Questions or redo stuff that you've failed.

  • All you need to know to train from tutorials and documentations effectively is after every item in The Frontloading Method list:

      1. watch everything in 3x speed (2x if you're an old man with slow brain); don't waste too much time on meta contents (reaction, tech news, drama, etc.); with educational contents, imagine yourself doing them while watching, summarize in your head what that tut/doc is about, take notes is useless as you'll most likely never look at it again,
      1. redo all the code without looking at the tut/doc, add your own spin to it and see how it goes; for theoretical sources, use anki to make flashcards and review them often,
      1. try to explain to and teach yourself the concept, and try to understand the underline mechanism behind it; for maths vids, try to implement them yourself with a language of choice,
      1. make sure to use terminal and neovim keybinds or at least vim motions when coding to familiar with your dev env,
      1. if you encounter a problem, go through this problem solving pipeline:
      • reread the code and go through all related references and internal docs to get a mental model
      • -> try put stdout printf across related POIs and rerun
      • -> official docs
      • -> ask some ai (perplexity, copilot, chatgpt, codeium, claude, gemini, etc., use free "pro" queries)
      • -> search on internet
      • -> go through forums and blogposts (stack..., 4chan, reddit, freecodecamp articles, etc.)
      • -> scrap through github, PRs, issues, and mailing lists
      • -> write some table-driven unit tests or fuzzy tests to zone out edge cases
      • -> actually use the debugger for real
      • -> write a small isolate program to reproduce the problem and test on it
      • -> after 2 hours of struggle, if you're on the job, now is the time to nicely ask some colleagues for help, and write down or record their instructions, don't be lazy and keep bodering people with things that they've already explained to you,
      • -> update the unit tests, write integration/ab test to make sure there'll be no regression regarding this problem in the future.
    • only proceed to the next items when you've completed these 5 tasks, or else you're just wasting your time and not building any skill; remember, every choice you make in life will have consequences, and every being has some stories to told, whether you aware of them or not,

P. Philosophy in Action

0. Acknowledge the Realities of the World

...more

"Birth, old age, sickness, and death, are the realities of the world."

"The world is unstable and swept away. The world has no shelter and no savior. The world has no owner—you must leave it all behind and pass on. The world is wanting, insatiable, the slave of craving." - MN 82

"A wise man should avoid unchastity as a pit of glowing charcoal. If unable to lead a celibate life, he should not go to another’s wives." - KN Snp 2.14

"Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself." - KN Dhp 103

Knowledge, Education, and Instruction should be open and free. Hierarchy must be abolished.

Hierarchy is inherently problematic because it will always have the problem of asymmetries: power and information, and thus, will inevitably lead to corruption and exploitation.

Hierarchical power structures are inherently evil because they will always seek self-perpetuation using any mean possible, whether it's deception, manipulation, coercion, or violent domination, no matter what they call themselves - mean-end disunity. In this way, a minority of elites can control and exploit the population.

If God created the universe, who created God? If God doesn't need a creator, so does the universe. The concept of a Creator God, universal consciousness, or any of those vague terms, is just pure absurd and utterly useless, made by grifters, preys on your delusion and insecurity. If anyone worthy of being called a Creator, a God, that's your mother and father. They've literally created you, showed you the world, and they're your first teacher. It's hard to repay them.

"Wage slavery refers to a person's dependence on wages or a salary for their livelihood, in a world where the distribution of and conditions for these wages is determined by a specific class."

Copyright Law, NDAs, Cease and Desists, etc. are capitalist mechanisms created for the perpetuation of slavery and monopoly. "Copyright isn't about paying artists, it's about being an idea landlord. In the end, "intellectual property" only serves to exclude the poor from accessing and using knowledge and culture. It's one of the pillars of capitalism." All forms of knowledge and education should forever be open and free without any restriction.

It's just rebranded feudalism, where the elites own all the lands and means of production, most wealth are inherited, self-made is a myth created to gaslight the masses, while slavery becomes systemic. "Butttt, you can choose your employer." Good luck saying this with a hobo, a neet who for years cannot land a single job, or a minimum wagie. The vast budget (thievery via taxes) in the army, wars, law enforcement, subservient school systems, consumerism propaganda, and entertainment industrial complex is solely for protecting the system and to make the population dull and indulging. The elites, meanwhile, prepped for the worst with their underground cities and luxury New Zealand villas. They can just safely farm the population, and everything is going as planned.

1. Internal Analysis (Buddhism) (up)

  • 8 external influences: gain and loss, fame and disgrace, blame and praise, pleasure and pain.
  • The keeping of the five precepts and eight precepts on Uposatha days; strengthening Right View and analysis frameworks.
  • The training in Noble Eightfold Path.
  • The training in healthy lifestyle, strength, and endurance.
  • The training in self defense and staff usage.

2. External Analysis (Anarchism) (up)

  • 8 core aspects of a society: infrastructure, healthcare, welfare, education, council of direct democracy, economics, defense, intelligence.
  • 3 core analyses of hierarchy: mean-end disunity; violent domination, exploitation, and deception; self perpetuation.
  • The abolition of all forms of hierarchy, state, class, slavery, involuntary servitude, exploitation, domination, prison system, and taxation; the uprooting of any chance of re-arising of any form of hierarchy, state, or class; the prevention of any form of upstartism and exploitation.
  • The abandonment of all forms of private property and land ownership or representation, the protection of personal possessions based on usage, the right to keep and bear arms including automatic firearms, and the right to self-defense.
  • Freedom and solidarity; stateless classless moneyless society via library economy; freedom of movement, of speech, of assembly, of horizontal association, of religion, to self defense and to keep and bear arms, of restoration or social sanction or eviction or excommunication of bad people from a community; the protecting of the ecology and the conscious continuous ongoing revolution, of mutual aids.

3. Layman's Primer - A collection of 30 discourses (up)

Read and try to understand and memorize by heart the discourses to have a strong theoretical foundation and develop Right View, what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s to be done and what’s not to be done, and to be able to recall the Dhamma in dire circumstances. Keep the five precepts (understand all the specificities, not break them yourself, not encourage the breaking of them, and not praise the breaking of them) everyday, keep the eight precepts on Uposatha days. Practice the Noble Eightfold Path according to the Buddha’s instructions (pay attention to Right Livelihood as you’re a lay person). Develop the habit of contemplation and meditation (both sitting and walking), see what’s obstructing the mind and what’s nourishing it.

Q. Chess Practice

Aim for strong principles, tactics, endgames, and strategies; Simple London for White and Caro-Kann/Nimzo-Indian for Black.

R. Speedcubing Resources

Aim for decent enough in all WCA events. Main 3x3, 3BLD, 2x2, Pyraminx, Megaminx, OH, 4x4, 5x5.

Notes

My reference resources and some experiences as a software engineer (60% backend/game/robotic, 30% frontend, 10% ops, working in game dev since 2007, robot engineering since 2015, and web dev since 2018), it should be a good “birds-eye view” for a programmer who want to learn things the bottom-up approach. This list is handcrafted and not generated by AI nor contains any affiliation. Some notes before proceeding with the list (up):

  • This guide is based on 100% free and quality resources vetted and curated by me. It’s not mean to be an exhaustive list. It aims to provide just a minimum skeleton that built from the ground up. Copy/clone/fork this so that you can use the checkboxes.
  • Avoid sinking time into pointless videos made by grifters and course/dream sellers, don’t let them exploit your emotions and insecurities for views and money. This is not a get rich quick course, or get 6 figures salary roadmap, it's just my knowledge base.
  • Practice the habit of always checking official documentations first before watching tutorials, endure the inconvenient in the moment, you'll become much better and more independent in the long run. Take the knowledge and leave, don't worship the educator.
  • For YouTube videos, just blast through them in 3x speed, enjoy the ride, and code along. Beware the sales funnel in some videos and don't waste money on those. Make sure the concepts are well sticked to your mind before moving on or else you're just wasting your time. Use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock to combat the evil advertisement industry.
  • For someone who’s self-taught, it will take more than 18 months to thoroughly finish the whole Streamlined Noob to SWE L7 Roadmap - Foundation, assumes that you spend at least 8 hours everyday working on it, there is no shortcut.
  • Remember the 80/20 rule: you only need to do 20% (easy things first) to achieve 80% of results (good enough). The rest 20% is exponentially expensive, so tread carefully. Have a plan in mind and focus on a certain niche, for example, if you want to be hirable fast focus on web dev with Go and NextJS, if you want to have a lot of fun and can do useful things right away and can earn money via selling games on Steam then focus on game dev and robotics first. And also participate in free competitions or game jams if you have chance.
  • Have a Daily Routine planed out in details and stick with it. Cultivate good habits and drop bad habits gradually. Please stay healthy in both body and mind.
  • Just go through the list in a top-down order, one-by-one, and you’re good to go. Stuffs inside parentheses mean optional. Numbers in the bracket are total duration in 2x speed and number of video in that playlist.
  • All you need is a large sample size (build a lot of projects) for a comprehensive mental model. It all comes down to a lot of reps and muscle memory. And also to have a beefy portfolio of finished projects.
  • Think about the problems in your life or others that you want to solve and try to apply your knowledge.
  • Regarding code editor, using whatever feels comfortable is good enough, but Vim motions is a must-have. I recommend Neovim, but you can also use Emacs, it has great org mode for note taking, it’ll be much more enjoyable when you have full control of your dev environment.
  • If you're using magnet/torrent, consider keeping the files for at least 7 days or 1.0 ratio for seeding so that you can pay back the community.
