I have never achieved something through systematic work, my productivity consists of aperiodical peaks caused by fads. I am tired of this, because I feel I lose a lot of opportunities of self-improvement despite the fact I drown in free time. My suspicions are that this problem is known to non-trivial amount of HNers. This makes me wonder:
Has anyone managed to really overcome problems with low productivity?
I am just a web developer with EE degree and quite solid background in math. I would like to ask you what steps should I take to be able to fiddle with generative art?
I am thinking about creating a web app and would like to add some novelty to the process of development as the product I am thinking about (basically a specialized CMS) is nothing fancy.
I have used Ruby and written some node/express but I didn't like it, mainly due to poor documentation. Also I would like to try some fancy front-end framework and am thinking about react with backbone.
What is hot? What is going to be hot? What went under the radar? Basically I would like you to recommend me a stack.
I am first year electronic engineering student from Poland. I really like web development, had worked on handful of small projects and I feel I could start doing software for local customers.
I have moved in here six months ago, currently I have no business contacts, except for rather large network of software engineering students.
Dear HN, where should I start to get at least mildly successful?
