Finally found a way to keep track of my ever expanding studies and how to prioritize them as relevant > how interested I'm > how urgent it is (as in it'd be a game changer if I had this skill right now).

It's called a ternary diagram (just in case you wondered)

Make it a square, call it the Magic Quadrant, and charge a buttload a year for people to look at it.

Massa, farei o mesmo :)

Soo "algorithms" is equally relevant and interesting to you...

Which ones!? Be specific! This hurts my brain...

@mmcorreia Every single one in cormens book. Basicly "Algoritmos" is an alias of the book

@perotti CI?

Torn between Criminal investigation (which makes 0 sense in this setting, but it was my first thought), and command interface (but I'm used to seeing that as CLI, so it's equally likely to be wrong).

I love it! But I'm not sure yet what to pick when I see that. There is no good or bad.

@samm since there is a hierarchy of priorities (relevance>interest>opportunity) you prioritize what ever is by the middle since they all weight the same. But you can also take in account those to from the center up the closest path to the right side.
The important thing to notice however is you make up your own rules.
Urgency could also mean "I have close to zero knowledge in this given subject".

@perotti Ah I see, Okay. Can I steal this idea from you or will that be a copyright infringement :D

@samm You can go ahead and write down books about it. Just don't forget to mention me in acknowledgements

Nice!

Only... You imply that relevance+interest+urgency is equal for all topics, but sometimes a topic can be relevant, interesting and urgent at the same time.

@AlexDeLarge thanks! That makes much more sense

@TempestasLudi Yes, but since humans handle things more in logarithmic terms and we mix feelings when making decisions you can kind of overlook this by just capping the sum as an sound technician would clip or adjust the audio levels

This is why this diagram works for me: I have to constantly check for the lower and upper boundaries based on what I want to learn/keep learning

The rules you come up with will dictate what is the hot zone in the diagram (what to pick up first)
