I always do this, but how do when to re-architect or at what level of granularity to look for optimizations? Do we burn time looking at async processing, do we just scale the cluster, etc

Say hypothetically you want to pursue a certain area of CS and become proficient in it. I struggle when the PDFs run out, and I look to contribute to a Open Source project in the area however there seems to the chasm(obviously expected given I've only read an introduction on the topic effectively). It's bridging that chasm that I don't get. How do i go from writing Spark jobs to contributing to Spark?

OP if you can pass that interview go work at a shit hot start up where you can contribute on a level these guys will never get to in Twitter.
Re:Ask HN: R U OK?

Mildly struggling with procrastination. I want to become a better developer who can contribute to Open Source projects but to be honest my inaction is likely the only thing in the way. This turns inward and I start disliking myself the more I think about my laziness.

wow i never want to work at Google if that's what working there is like.
Ask HN: How do you get better technically?
I can do my job, I feel like I'm stagnating. I don't work with anyone who pushes me or teaches me. I've tried to contribute to Open Source projects but struggle to get into it from a technically perspective.Is there any resource or technique you use to technically get better?

If anything it gives scope for smart and talented people to work on something that if fails they can easily spin multiple startups from in various attempts to find a route to success.
This happens all over the place and we should be thankful people are either dumb/smart enough to take these risks on big ideas.

Perhaps they are aware and just decide to do it anyway, plenty of examples in US history.
Maybe read some history and be less baffled?
