作者的博客InitCoder
作者说,他37岁了,说他不是完全的计算机菜鸟,但也是个初学者:
I am not a complete beginner in computer science. I am still a somewhat-beginner.At least I know how to hack my way to build and host a minimalistic static blog like the one you are reading.
作者说他想用下一个10年时间自学CS:
I feel the desire and the need to plunge to the depths of computer science. It is not a one or two-year plan, and it is not aimed towards landing a job as a software developer. I am okay with spending the next decade of my life trying to build some level of mastery in this domain.
作者说,他想通过这些自学:
TeachYourselfCS (https://teachyourselfcs.com/) and the Computer Science curriculum of OSSU (https://github.com/ossu/computer-science)
他知道自己想做一些什么:
Some of these would be:
- A HN / reddit themed app for the community my wife and I are building.
- A device through which I can stream movies, tv serials from my device to my parents’ television >- so that we can watch them together.
- Education apps that leverage learning theories, community learning and game design to make learning more inspiring and accessible for students.
- A product (hardware or software) that solves either a niche or a common problem - and around which I can build some kind of revenue model to sustain myself.
- An e-commerce app for the wooden toys I design and document.
感受
这是作者博客的第一篇文章,也是唯一一篇文章,这个通过Astro项目搭建的博客简洁而有力,似乎看到了作者在搭建起这个博客的那个瞬间溢出键盘的成就感,激励着他写下这篇经过思考的文章。
他是有勇气的,37岁,不为更好的工作,为了自己的兴趣、身边的人,投入到一个漫长的学习成长过程中去。学习从来都不晚。
他是有目标的,知道自己要达到什么的目的,目标明确而清晰。
他是有策略的,在下定决心后,得到家人的支持,知道怎么去实现自己的目标,这就已经比大部分人要成功了。
他会成功的,这个过程不会一帆风顺,不过为了梦想和兴趣,即使走得慢一点,但每一步都算数,最终一定能到达自己的目的地。
我的下一步尝试
学习能力是我引以为傲的能力,和作者很像,不是计算机专业,却喜欢折腾。
也许,是时候再启程了,看看兴趣之火能否支撑起下一个十年的“折腾”。
