On deep learning: Going against the reality of increasingly more efficient AI, I'm taking my free time to learn and relearn all my tools, in a deeper level than before. This means that I'll spend more time reading the documentation, testing all options at least once and try to not leave any piece of information behind, even the ones I'm certain I'll never use again. The goal is to accept and incorporate boring repetition as a method of internalizing knowledge, which is quite a huge contrast from the way I solve problems for work (solving them and never look back).

Thoughts on koans: ruby is an interpreted language, which means I could be just experimenting in the irb console. While time consuming, I'm trying to stick to a more rigid methodology of writing the exercises into a file, going back later to add more stuff as I learn more. This should help me review code that I wrote before, while also giving me some reason to practice vim motions, which is another thing I'm invested in learning.
