commitment

I commit to spending 30-60 minutes at the beginning of each work day actively watching and taking notes on a series of lectures by robert morris on distributed systems at MIT. 

i'll target ~1 lecture per day, with the goal of finishing by the end of november.

Yesterday I watched the introduction, and today I watched the lecture on RPC and threads. 

I'm enjoying the process, but my lack of familiarity with Go is going to be a problem. I can either continue with the course, trying to pick up Go as I go (ha), or switch to a different topic that is more introductory. 

I'll watch lecture three tomorrow and then make a decision. I've found that just watching these courses without trying to implement the problems myself results in very little retained knowledge. So I'm better off choosing a topic I can commit to and implement now than something that seems aspirational but slides off my brain in a few weeks.

Enjoying learning about RPC and threads, but struggling with lack of familiarity in Go. Considering switching to a more introductory topic for better retention
