A small attempt to setup rules and guidelines
What we will be calling “Hardcore learning” here is a method to master a subject efficiently in the smallest amount of time possible. This set of rules doesn’t come out of nowhere. I used and collected them through my many lives: to successfully get a law degree after working 10 years as a carpenter, to write a book about mathematics for students, then to change life again after an accident and become the CTO of a small startup building code and architecture of a modern web application.
Before going any further, I want to make clear that this article will…

One thing we learn is that no language is better than the other. Are they all equally good in all situations though ? Not quite. Each one of them will answer a specific need…

I will not discuss here the validity of this “rule”. I will rather give you my own feedback on the journey reaching this number. I hope something here will either help you on your own path, or at least amuse you in some way.
