Ask HN: What topics/subjects are worth learning for a new software engineer?

I'm trying to cultivate my ability to identify worthwhile topics to invest time in learning since I have only recently graduated from university, so for the most part have been sticking to the yellow brick road laid out for me thus far. What would some of you guys think about learning if you were just starting out in the industry? Or even better, what does your process for orienting yourself and making these kind of decisions look like? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ask HN: Favorite teachers on YouTube?

Currently I am watching Daniel Shiffman (example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p5IH0L63wo) and I really like his enthusiasm. I've watched a whole bunch of high production, paid courses (udemy, udacity etc) and somehow Shiffman's free videos are more fun to watch and learn. Any other teachers you like? Doesn't need to be math or computers, other subjects welcome too Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17999659 Points: 534 # Comments: 150 from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/2NdfZw9 via
