This is pretty awesome! How does pricing work for this?

We're providing this service for free. Your team sets your monthly donation limit and we just handle everything else. 100% goes to #TeamTrees.

Are these live events? I think they are from what I can tell on the site. I'd try to make that more clear.

I think a lot of teams would be really interested in this. You can only play so many games of Among Us as a team before it gets old.

Hi! Yes, all of them are live events! We have modified the web and will add it to the FAQs, appreciate the feedback! Big fan of Among us here too :)

We have daily coffee chat optional sessions right after standup.

So far it’s been working pretty great. Most days we have at least 4 or 5 folks stay. We talk about anything (but try not to talk about work)

We also occasionally play Among Us as a team. I’m not a gamer at all but have really enjoyed playing a social game together.

Seems to be a lot of interest in this space.

I’m trying to combine the “rote-ness” of anki with learning by doing.

In Deliberate Python[1] I’m combining spaced repetition lessons with small exercises that encourage you to really focus and get the question right the first time.

The encouragement to get it right the first time, as often as possible, is something I learned from learning music. Practice makes permanent

I’ve been using brain.fm and found it’s perfect background music for programming. I actually feel more productive when I use it

This is probably one of the best investments most people can make.

Think about it. If you become a more effective learner it can have a huge compounding effect.

This course is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing it!

Spaced Repetition is a super power! I think learning about learning is one of the best things you can do for your personal and professional growth. I've noticed a huge growth in my own learning journey since diving deeper into how spaced repetition and other techniques can help you.

I've also been more intentional about my time programming at work. Focusing on certain things to improve on a daily/weekly basis. Most of our day to day work is more akin to a performance than deliberate practice[1].

I also noticed that I didn't have a great way to use spaced repetition with programming skills, so I've been working on a platform that lets you practice python fundamentals with spaced repetition. It's pre-launch but I'm documenting progress on my newsletter[2].

I have a budget sit stand setup. I bought the autonomous ai DIY sit/stand kit and paired it with an IKEA butcher block countertop.

Sit stand has been a game changer for me. I love being able to switch it up when one or the other gets tiresome.

I’m looking to upgrade my chair soon. It’s the standard IKEA office chair. Don’t remember the name but lots of folks recommend it for a budget option.

In general for someone trying to get in the field I typically say get a degree IF it makes sense in your lifestyle.

New grad from high school and wants to get into CS. Get a degree if you can afford it.

Took a few years off of college, really interested in CS, can afford to go back to school (even if afford means loans and it is a public university). Get a degree.

Mid 20's with family and children, main breadwinner, can't afford to stop working. Think hard about the decision to go back to school. Explore other options.

In general, it just has to fit with your lifestyle.

In your particular case I'd highly suggest not going. You already have a bachelors and a masters. Plus 5 years experience. The barrier to entry to get into the sub-field you're interested in isn't credentials at this point.

I'm very surprised none of the videos on the serenade landing page have audio.

I would love to see/hear what it's like. I'd suspect adding audio to those videos would be a win on conversions.

Thanks for the suggestion! We recently revamped our homepage, and we're in the process of recording some new videos. Will keep that in mind!

In the meantime, here's a video that a developer using Serenade recently made about their first experience! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc-EbY1fRWk
