No need for manual ytdlp! I use TubeArchivist[1] to download channels and then share them with kid's account on Plex. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. Great self-hosted solution.

For anyone who is interested in structured learning around the idea of listening and reproducing, I suggest Audible Genius Building Blocks[1].

An excellent game where the designer/programmer doesn't let things get in the way of building is Aurora 4x [1] (not really a small game anymore). Only runs on windows, doesn't even have modifiable window sizes. For users that have period separators instead of commas a bunch of the text is cut off. It's a fantastic game that is purely what the creator wants and plays and is nothing more, and it has a great community behind it. It is purely a work of passion by the creator.

I would recommend Simple Tab Groups [1] for Firefox. Then you can have as many sets of tabs you want (with detailed names), that are backed up in case of crashes etc. They are also out of the way when you don't need them, no managing multiple windows. Easy to delete groups, or keep them for later.

Do you have any recommended books or tutorials?

I find CDK[1] way easier to deal with than CloudFormation yaml or json. Try it out!

Taptap looks really cool and I would like to use it, unfortunately my workplace doesn't allow 3rd parties to store the information that would be in my notes. Have you thought about a self-hosted version?

Do you recommend Spring 2013 for a reason?
The Spring 2015[1] has a similar but different set of lectures/assignments. Do you think that is better/worse?

Agreed on the "senior" designation. I'd prefer to see number of years developing software instead of an arbitrary title as the measure of experience.

0 A.D.[0] is a cool open source RTS. They are looking for developers to help out.

What about Backbone[1] and Marionette[2] for SPA? Do you have an opinion on those tools?

I think it's definitely on the right path. You can see the developers daily changelog[1] and there's also a great modding community already started[2].

If you think Dwarf Fortress is cool, check out Rimworld[1]. It's still in alpha, but it's already a playable game. It's basically a sci-fi Dwarf Fortress (and it has a way better UI).

Can you recommend any resources to learn about F#?
I'm currently working on a big C# codebase and it would be interesting to see if F# would make some of it cleaner.
