Spaced repetition systems help combat forgetting by managing optimal review times and intervals.
Incremental reading systems allow users to enjoy the review process by prioritizing and adding interesting content to the queue.
A potential open recommender system blends the best elements of spaced repetition, incremental reading, and platforms like YouTube shorts for personalized content recommendations.

Learn math using spaced repetition for easier memorization
Use Lean programming language for interactive theorem proving
Mathematical knowledge gained in this series is foundational and applicable to further studies

Setting specific goals can lead to tunnel vision and cause us to miss out on unexpected opportunities
Relying solely on metrics as goals can lead to deception and disconnect us from reality
Finding a balance between following metrics and allowing open-ended exploration is challenging but important

Abstract ideas and concepts can lead to new unexpected connections between ideas.
Data is in the eye of the beholder, and it's up to programs to interpret meaningless symbols into something useful.
Computational universality allows computers to perform any computable algorithm, expanding the set of programs that can be expressed.

Learning programming is best achieved through working on projects rather than just reading or doing tutorials. Spend 80-90% of your time on projects and the rest on learning materials.
Projects are essential not only for learning but also for showcasing your skills to potential employers or collaborators. Start building an online presence to market your programming skills.
Use incremental reading and spaced repetition systems like RemNote to effectively learn programming by connecting new concepts with prior knowledge and making learning fun and engaging.
