I would explore random interesting subjects and dive deep.  I would constantly publish code and demos, etc.  As my career grew, one of one these started to fall off.  I look at my peers and it&amp;#x27;s the same story: they were all vibrant hot-shots in their early-mid 20s, and now are just weighed down by the teams and projects they manage.&lt;p&gt;Peter is an inspiration.  I will ponder this...</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>A Concrete Introduction to Probability (2018)</title><url>https://github.com/norvig/pytudes/blob/master/ipynb/Probability.ipynb</url></story>

These are two sides of the same coin.&lt;p&gt;You can see this problem in &lt;i&gt;most&lt;/i&gt; Wikipedia math pages.  I took more math than most physics majors and I find quite a lot of what I stumble across either baffling or of unknown utility.  Set theory is a great instance of this.  I rarely see multiple examples listed as it is explained, nor does anyone bother to tell me what it is &lt;i&gt;for&lt;/i&gt;, other than to do more set theory.&lt;p&gt;Stats at least has the benefit of having to stick closer to applicability, I think.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>A Concrete Introduction to Probability (2018)</title><url>https://github.com/norvig/pytudes/blob/master/ipynb/Probability.ipynb</url></story>
