  • Layers - get a good base layer, merino wool is the gold standard for these. You also want to get a neck gaiter, plus some merino wool socks, and some kind of cap. These will keep you warm and dry throughout most cold weather. Add more layers on top when outside, and remember to remove layers proactively if you feel yourself starting to sweat - it’s never a good idea to be wet in cold weather. The base layer will make physical exertion a pretty hot affair quite fast, so you’d be surprised how fast the sweat starts pouring.















  • It makes for a more acidic brew, which I personally really like. It’s quite fruity as well, while still definitely being coffee.

    Based on your recommendations, it might not be your cup of tea (or in this case, coffee!), but it might be worth a try if you want to expand your horizons. I am personally not into dark roasts, being mostly a medium to light-roast person.



  • I don’t think you necessarily need to have studied a lot of math to be successful in programming, but you will need it if you want to get a CS degree, which in turn can be a good lever to a fruitful programming career.

    My advice when it comes to math - math skills build upon the concepts you’re expected to have learned before, meaning that if you didn’t fully get everything in the past, then your foundation is not in great shape and you will struggle at higher levels. Going back and repeating the fundamentals just so that you fully understand everything is very helpful in my experience.

    I also think that understanding math is rewarding in itself, for what it’s worth!
