Prereq Yo’ Self Before You Wreck Yo’ Self

I worked full time in data science during my last 2 years of undergrad and I'm pretty sure the process to pull this off is reproducible.

When it looks like someone progressed so fast they “must” have taken a shortcut, what really happened is they speed-ran the foundations.

Making progress is really enjoyable. People typically find math (and other challenging activities) enjoyable by default and it’s really just the feeling of slow/stagnated progress that makes it unenjoyable, especially when coupled with overwhelm.

Nobody is born cracked.

Why jumping the gun on complexity leads to compounding struggle.
