I heard reading well-written code can improve my skills. Instead of reading top-rated projects on GitHub, which I do, I thought to ask the community to share their favorite OSS they believe to have examplary code.

I find it difficult to process comedy and humor, and would like to discover books with well-written humor to study; the way I've been studying known stand-up comedians. Thank you!

There are always someone or group who has the power to flip a switch to shutdown a network as seen in regions of conflict. With innovation in blockchain, ipfs, web3, the network is still at the whims of a central force with the Killswitch.

I have a 12 year old who got interested in lego, dinosaurs, then minecraft modding from an early age. We step in to moderate and guide as needed. But as parents, we are not scientists or engineers, and that makes it a challenge to choose optimal learning materials for him to build on top of his interests which atm is dinosaur hybrids, dna, gene splicing (he watch yt and read wikipedia to fill in the holes).

We use yc, stackexchange, and amazon reviews to research curriculum for homeschool.

There are tutorials out there but none list the essential skills necessary to build-it-yourself from scratch such as casting and molding. If there are pre-existing software or electronics out there to reduce effort, all the better. I see it as a hobby over a year or two. I have the idea and designs but no skills!

The underdog success story always link back to a significant role model like mom, dad, uncle, friend of family. For example, mom was an educated school teacher (Daymond John from Shark Tank). Self-made traces back to a support system and growing up without worrying about abuse or food on the table. Are there people who actually made it out of extreme poverty (way below your country's income threshold of poverty) to millionaire without waiting until 60 for your 401k/IRA to "mature"? If so, who and how?

I'm curious. Half for reassurance and the other part of me am interested to find role models outside of gary v, gary tan, gary keller.

Universal Health Care and Basic Income is too controversial. Universal basic utilities (internet, electricity/gas, purified water) seem likely to be accepted versus giving everyone free money and health care.

I homeschooled and wanted opinions and resources from the intellectually-curious community on what you believe are (non-negotiable) skills and knowledge your child should have before adulthood.
