- sahilister: hosted ILUG Delhi weekly quiz. it was fun.
- jasonbraganza: finally learnt how to tell, when I am mentally tiring, and stopping instead of just powering through. feels similar to when I discovered what real hunger feels like. not the fake, ooh I ought to eat something, but real, your body will crash if you don’t fuel it, hunger

I realised that as I was learning my French. and then i realised I had what Taleb calls, domain blindness. I had the exact same issue with Python and programming too. I know enough to know I don’t know enough.

Read a book / watch a video with Python every week.
Add five words to French vocabulary every day.
