I’m not a father but this is an amazing perspective!

Has the course been useful to you in a professional setting? I mean, have you been able to apply what you’ve learned so far?

That looks interesting. If you don’t mind me asking. What did you learn there that you couldn’t learn from books or talks?

+1.
King’s is amazing, IMO. Very didactic and covers C in depth.

Forgive my ignorance but what is a PT and FT job?

Oh what a shame, I was planning to sign up for ACM next week. Unfortunately, that was a predictable move from O’Reilly. I bet most of the folks signing up for ACM were actually after O’Reilly’s contents.
I think the only cheaper alternative is during Black Friday period where they give a 100 usd discount.

+1 for Cantrill. I got their SAA last year and learned a lot. It's the most comprehensive AWS online course AFAIK. You not only learn stuff for the certification but also learn many 'whys' and there's lots of practice.

Mitchell Hashimoto has published a blog post describing how he approaches complex codebases. That might give you an idea where to start.

DeepL is unbelievable great! It's very flexible, it has informal and formal mode, presents several synonymous for some words, and so on.

The best book I've ever found so far is this one: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030338350
The author builds a small relational database from scratch in java. It supports only a few types and not all SQL commands but it's great to get a big picture.

I write mostly about Python and everything related to it. I decided to create a blog because I wanted to improve my writing skills, English is not my first language and writing in English would be an opportunity to improve it, hopefully.
I'm trying to be consistent and I release two articles a month, one every other week.
The first version I used Hugo but I noticed that I was spending a long time tweaking it and not writing a single word. Then I found https://hashnode.com and gave it a go. They are a blogging as a service and it abstracts away most of the things that I was fighting with. The downsides is that it's not fully configurable but that's the price I decided to pay. But for basic stuff like domain name, analytics, newsletter it works out the box.

This is a good illustration but I'm not sure if follow your rationale. You said that from 0900-1700 you belong to $COMPANY, contractually.
But if you start working earlier or later, say 1500-2300, that would be fine? As long as you work 8h a day, I assume.
In this case you would belong to $COMPANY from 1500-2300 even though in the contract it says 0900-1700. What happens in this case?
